Higher education institutions in the United States continue to explore ways in which they can improve student outcomes and continue the dissemination of knowledge while concurrently managing increased budget pressures, enrolment challenges, evolving stakeholder demands, shifts in technology, and wider societal headwinds. One option which they have increasingly turned to is the use of hybrid education. Business schools in particular are deploying hybrid education courses as one option in managing increased contention over rising tuition costs and more intense domestic and international competition. Accordingly, special consideration was given to faculty within the business discipline and the impacts of teaching hybrid education on their contentment using the FSSE scales of sense of belonging and teaching environment. While hybrid education is not a new phenomenon it is still rapidly evolving and despite its widespread use over the last two years during the COVID-19 global pandemic, very little is known about the impact that hybrid education has on faculty, in particular how it affects their job contentment. Recognizing that the faculty are not a homogenous group and that each institution represents a unique environment in which they work, this study explores the relationships between individual faculty, the teaching modality of hybrid, and the effects of their membership in different academic disciplines and institutional types. Using data from the 2020-2021 Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE) and building upon Hagedorn's framework for job satisfaction, this study proposes a new model of faculty contentment with which to assess the relationships between faculty job contentment, their environmental and personal characteristics, and teaching modality. The study also reveals many significant relationships between faculty and environmental characteristics and sense of belonging while teaching hybrid courses.
