Abstract / Excerpt:

Objectives: The study aims to find out the importance of the work-related factors and their relationship with selected personal-occupational variables of the facultty of nursing. It answers: (1) What are the work-related factors identified by the faculty in the three colleges of nursing? (2) What are the values attributed by the faculty to these work-erlated factors? (3) Is there any significant relationship between the values of these work-related factors and each of the following personal-occupational variables namely: age, civil status, educational attainment, tenure of employment?
Methodology: This study used the descriptive method to present the general view of the perceived importance attributed by nurse-instructors to organizational relationship, peer relationship, power, physical environment, spiritual development, educational opportunity and family life, based on four personal-occupational variables.
Conclusions: (1) The work-related factors identified by the faculty were varied. These factors are at the same time the concerns of the management in the college of nursing. (2) The values equivalent to important were attributed by the faculty to all the work-related factors. (3) The faculty are inclined to use audio-visual facilities in most classroom activities. The faculty relies on the administration to provide the materials and supplies that are required by the curriculum for nursing. (4) Graduate education is desired by the faculty but with limitations encountered at work, like overloads and financial constraints, the faculty do not readily find time to pursue advanced studies. (5) Problems related to work are aggravated when communication is not fluid between and among the faculty and the administrators. (6) The leadership of the administrators affects the relationship of the faculty with the organization. The low importance placed by the faculty to participation in institutional committees reflect a lack of motivation on the part of the faculty to assume leadership roles. (7) The importance attributed by the faculty to the work-related factors are strongly influenced by their age, and not by their civil status, educational attainment nor tenure of employment in the college of nursing.
