Over the past few decades, institutions of higher education have increased thei r dependence on part-time faculty members (Gappa & Leslie, 1993). Factors influencing this trend include: (a) increases in instruction-related costs relative to revenu es; (b) efforts by academic administrators to achieve staffing flexibility; (c) the num ber of individuals who have been unable to obtain full-time teaching positions; and (d) the growth of community colleges which traditionally have employed large percentages of part-tim e faculty members (Valadez & Antony, 2001; NCES, 2000). The purpose of this study was to examine the current level of adjunct faculty job satisfaction in Iowa’s 15 community colleges and to determine if satisfa ction variables can be used to predict overall job satisfaction. The unit of analysis was the adjunct facul ty members who responded to the Iowa Community College Adjunct Faculty Survey 2009. The population of adjunct faculty members targeted for this study included all adjunct faculty members employed at one of Iowa’s 15 community colleges during the 2008-09 academic year. The final sample included all of Iowa’s 15 community colle ges, and 3,412 adjunct faculty members were eligible to complete the survey. For the purpos e of this survey, respondents who did not complete questions regarding job satisfaction were eliminate d from the sample. A final sample of 930 participants was included in the data set. The survey respondents’ ratings on how job satisfaction was perceived were regressed on six independent variables associated with job satisfaction. The si x ind pendent variables (gender, age, benefits, instruction, relationships, and physical environm ent) accounted for 56% of the variance explained in the regression model and were statist ically
