چکیده

community college computer instructors provide a valuable service by preparing students for challenging careers. at the same time, they face many challenges to stay current in their field and to maintain industry certifications. therefore, community college administrators need to determine what perceptions are held by computer instructors, address any negative perceptions, and determine if instructors are satisfied with their job. to address this need, a study of north carolina community college computer instructors’ job satisfaction was conducted using the minnesota satisfaction questionnaire (msq) short form. the msq short form is a 20 question survey developed by researchers at the university of minnesota to study job satisfaction among workers. although, the majority of the 182 respondents reported they were satisfied with their job and hold positive perceptions of their supervisors, only slightly over half of the respondents reported being either satisfied or very satisfied with the way policies are implemented within their organization, indicating for the first time that a significant percentage of computer instructors in north carolina perceive a problem exists within this area. the results of this study should encourage academic institutions to find better ways to implement policies in ways that don’t negatively affect job satisfaction and worker productivity .
