    Nurse faculty primarily make recommendations, not final decisions, in academic settings. However, job satisfaction and professional commitment remain positively linked, while job tension is negatively correlated.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education Research
    • Organizational Behavior in Healthcare

    Background:

    • Faculty participation in decision-making is crucial for academic institutions.
    • Understanding faculty, administrator, and organizational characteristics is key in nursing schools.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine faculty participation in decision-making within nursing schools.
    • To analyze faculty and administrator characteristics and organizational structures.
    • To investigate the relationship between decision-making involvement and job satisfaction, professional commitment, and job tension.

    Main Methods:

    • Quantitative study involving 93 faculty and 10 administrators from associate and baccalaureate nursing schools.
    • Data collected using the School Information Profile, Administrative Questionnaire, and Faculty Questionnaire.

  • Statistical analyses included frequency distributions, SPSS RELIABILITY, Pearson correlations, Canonical correlations, and Multiple Regression.

    • Main Results:

    • Faculty reported their decision-making role was mainly advisory (recommendations), not determinative.
    • Administrators perceived faculty as having greater decision-making influence than faculty reported.
    • Positive correlations were found between job satisfaction and professional commitment; negative correlations were found between job tension and both job satisfaction and professional commitment.

    Conclusions:

    • A discrepancy exists between faculty and administrator perceptions of faculty decision-making power.
    • Faculty engagement in decision-making influences job satisfaction, professional commitment, and job tension.
    • Further research can explore strategies to enhance faculty involvement and its impact on job-related outcomes.
