Self-determination theory and second-career teachers of college accounting: Understanding how career transition issues affect job satisfaction. - 193 p.

Thesis (D.B.A.)--Anderson University, 2008.

Practicing accountants who leave the accounting field to become full time college accounting teachers, referred to as second-career teachers, can help fill the projected gap in accounting faculty needed in the next decade. However, based on teacher retention literature, these second-career teachers often encounter issues which affect the transition into teaching which can affect job satisfaction. The problem is that the effect on job satisfaction because of transition issues had not been studied before and this population in particular had not been studied at all. This research has been completed to understand how transition issues affect job satisfaction and how intrinsic motivation may help to explain that effect.

520 $a Practicing accountants who leave the accounting field to become full time college accounting teachers, referred to as second-career teachers, can help fill the projected gap in accounting faculty needed in the next decade. However, based on teacher retention literature, these second-career teachers often encounter issues which affect the transition into teaching which can affect job satisfaction. The problem is that the effect on job satisfaction because of transition issues had not been studied before and this population in particular had not been studied at all. This research has been completed to understand how transition issues affect job satisfaction and how intrinsic motivation may help to explain that effect.
520 $a Intrinsic motivation is defined using the self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000) which includes three constructs: competence, autonomy, and relatedness. When these three needs are met, people experience well-being. One measure of well-being is job satisfaction. Research objectives included testing if transition issues have any effect on job satisfaction and any mediation effects by the constructs of the self-determination theory. Additionally, the construct of hope (Snyder, 2000) was tested for its relationship to the transition issues and any moderator effect on job satisfaction.
520 $a Based on a national survey of current accounting second-career professors, 35 transition issues were rated and using factor analysis were reduced to four factors which aligned with the self-determination theory constructs. Using simple and hierarchical regression, the results revealed that transition issues do have an affect on job satisfaction and that those that are specifically associated with autonomy have the strongest relationship. The self-determination construct of autonomy was a full mediator of that relationship. A key conclusion was that an autonomy supportive environment seems to be a major contributor to the job satisfaction of second-career teachers. Competence and relatedness transition issues do not correlate with job satisfaction but the results do support that the self-determination constructs of competence and relatedness are strongly and significantly related to job satisfaction as has been discovered in other research. The construct of hope also proved to be mediator of the transition issues relationship to job satisfaction.
