Postsecondary Writing Program Collegiality, Job Satisfaction, and Self-Efficacy Teaching Writing: A Quantitative Analysis Using Self-Determination Theory
David A. MacKinnon II
ProQuest LLC, D.Ed. Dissertation, University of North Florida
Calling on Ryan & Deci's (2000) Self-Determination Theory framework, the author sought to explore the relations among writing program faculty collegiality in their work (i.e., teaching, research/scholarship, and service), their job satisfaction in teaching writing courses in postsecondary settings, and their sense of self-efficacy for that teaching. The author surveyed writing program faculty across the State University System of Florida and analyzed collect evidence towards addressing if faculty collegiality behaviors and beliefs relate to faculty job satisfaction in teaching writing or faculty self-efficacy around the teaching of writing. Using exploratory factor analysis and linear regression modeling, the author analyzed the respondents' (n=52) data and made two significant findings for the sample surveyed: as respondents reported higher faculty collegiality-service behaviors, their self-efficacy in teaching writing increased ([beta]=-5.1, p<110).
