Academic institutions increasingly employ non-tenure-track (NTT) faculty to reduce costs and enhance flexibility, leading to significant challenges for NTT faculty, including limited job security, lower compensation, and fewer benefits. This study investigates job satisfaction differences between NTT and tenured/tenure-track (T/TT) faculty at a four-year research university in Texas, using Self-Determination Theory (SDT) to explore how psychological needs and perceived support impact that satisfaction. Data from 670 full-time faculty members from the 2021 COACHE survey will be analyzed. The study aims to inform policy development, address NTT faculty marginalization, and enhance job satisfaction, faculty retention, and student success by creating a more supportive and equitable academic environment.
