The nursing shortage and the nurse faculty shortage are concomitantly connected. Considering the worsening shortage of nurse faculty, inquiry into factors which may influence the job satisfaction of faculty was warranted. The purpose of this quantitative correlational research study was to explore whether a significant relationship existed for perceived organizational support, individual structural empowerment, and job satisfaction amongst baccalaureate nurse faculty. A survey was disseminated to baccalaureate nurse faculty across the United States who were members of the Professional Nurse Educators Group on LinkedIn who replied to the request to participate. Of the faculty who responded, 226 usable surveys were completed by faculty who met the minimum criteria to participate. The survey consisted of four short tools combined into one questionnaire and included the 8-item Survey of Perceived Organizational Support, the Conditions for Work Effectiveness II tool, the Wieck Nursing Job Satisfaction Index, and concluded with demographic questions to further describe the sample of participants. Results from the research affirmed that perceived organizational support and individual structural empowerment served independently as predictors of job satisfaction amongst nurse faculty teaching at the baccalaureate level. An additional result discovered was a significant positive correlation between baccalaureate nurse faculty perceived organizational support and individual structural empowerment. Respondents relayed they were generally supported by their employing organization. Perspective received from this research can assist organizations and management to increase the likelihood of nurse faculty being satisfied in their role as nurse faculty.
