This study sought to understand predictors of faculty satisfaction with promotion and tenure processes and reasonableness of expectations in the context of a striving institution. The factors we investigated included discipline (high-consensus [science and math] vs. low-consensus [humanities and social sciences]); demographic variables; and institutional support including mentoring, collegiality, work-life integration, and college commitment to faculty members' fields. High-consensus faculty members were less satisfied with promotion and tenure processes than were low-consensus faculty members (p < 0.01). Faculty members who were more satisfied with collegiality (p < 0.001) and with college commitment to their fields (p < 0.05) were more satisfied with promotion and tenure processes. Faculty members who were more satisfied with work-life integration and mentoring were more satisfied with reasonableness of expectations (p < 0.05).
