    The Journal of Nursing Education
    |September 1, 1983

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Academic Leadership
    • Higher Education Administration

    Background:

    • The role of deans in autonomous nursing schools is critical for educational quality and institutional advancement.
    • Understanding career trajectories and satisfaction levels of nursing deans is essential for leadership retention and succession planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the future career plans and job satisfaction of deans in autonomous schools of nursing.
    • To identify key factors influencing deans' decisions to remain in or leave their positions.
    • To explore the impact of external academic opportunities on deans' career paths.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was administered to 131 deans of autonomous nursing schools.
    • Data collected focused on career plans, job satisfaction, reasons for leaving, and perceived external opportunities.

    Main Results:

    • Only 25% of surveyed deans intend to remain in their deanship until retirement.
    • Despite plans to leave, deans reported high satisfaction with their current role.
    • Primary driver for leaving is job dissatisfaction; extrinsic rewards like salary do not influence mobility.

    Conclusions:

    • Nursing deans exhibit significant career mobility, with dissatisfaction being the main impetus for departure.
    • External academic opportunities, particularly for women, contribute to uncertainty regarding post-deanship career paths.
    • Retention strategies should address intrinsic job satisfaction rather than solely focusing on extrinsic rewards.
