Given the changing landscape of postsecondary faculty employment, institutions benefit from understanding how organizational policies and behaviors affects the faculty’s perception of organizational support. Using data from faculty members, including those with contingent and part-time appointments, at a single institution in the western United States, this study examined how the faculty’s perceptions of structures and behaviors at the departmental, college, and campus levels affect their perception of organizational support. Results suggest that part-time faculty members are significantly less likely to feel supported; however, as their perceptions of being valued by college and senior administrators increase, so do their perceptions of support. Findings suggest avenues for organizational leaders to promote commitment among all faculty members.

沟通支持：检查具有不同任命类型的教职员工之间感知到的组织支持

鉴于高等教育教师就业形势的变化，机构受益于了解组织政策和行为如何影响教师对组织支持的看法。本研究使用来自美国西部一所单一机构的教职员工（包括那些有临时和兼职任命的教职员工）的数据，研究了教职员工对院系、学院和校园层面的结构和行为的看法如何影响他们对工作的看法。组织支持。结果表明，兼职教职员工获得支持的可能性要小得多；然而，随着他们对被大学和高级管理人员重视的看法增加，他们对支持的看法也在增加。调查结果为组织领导者提供了促进所有教职员工承诺的途径。
