Many Student Affairs Professionals leave the profession within the first 5 years. A common position for new Student Affairs Professions is the Residence Hall Director position. This study aimed to determine the level of job satisfaction and what factors contribute to job satisfaction for Residence Hall Directors in the California State University System. A survey which included the Job Satisfaction Survey 2 and two open-ended questions was administered to Residence Hall Directors to assess job satisfaction. Responses were analyzed using the mean scores for survey responses as well as open coding to find themes for the open- ended questions. The results suggest Residence Hall Directors are satisfied with the position, but there are aspects of the position that Student Affairs Professionals in Residence Hall Director positions would like to see change including improved communication, better compensation, and more opportunities for promotion.
