The Impact of Wellness Programs on Employee Job Satisfaction in Colleges and Universities

Abstract

This study examines the impact of wellness programs on employee job satisfaction in Colleges and Universities. Utilizing a sample of full time or part time college and university faculty members of for-profit and brick and mortar universities in the United States, the results of this correlational study did not predict job satisfaction among employees who participated in wellness programs. In addition, it was found that interaction analyses indicated a relationship between gender and job satisfaction. Females were more likely than males to have higher levels of job satisfaction, as well as years of experience and job satisfaction. Faculty who had employed between 11 and 15 years were more likely to have higher levels of job satisfaction.
