The purpose of this study was to examine the causal effects among the variables mentoring, job stress, incivility, organizational commitment, and occupational commitment on faculty job satisfaction and the intent to stay in academia of Georgia's associate degree nursing (ADN) faculty. An 87-item Nursing Faculty Job Satisfaction and Intent to Stay Questionnaire was constructed from seven existing instruments and validated. A total of 134 of 217 (61.8%) nursing faculty responded to the survey. A structural equation model was generated and tested to examine the relationships among variables and to identify the effects on job satisfaction and intent to stay in academia.
