4a. General attitude towards work. The Climate Survey shows that faculty, staff, and Administrators as a whole enjoy their work (89%), use their talents and abilities at work (87%), feel that they are kept up to date on what is happening at the College (72%), and a high percentage believe in the work we do at the College (94%). A lower percentage, yet still above average, feel that they are free to express thoughts and feeling without fear of retaliation (53%), can develop their career within the College (53%), and that they would encourage someone else to work at the College (57%).

General attitude towards work was further analyzed by gender, age, race, LGBTQ+, religion, and position:

LGBTQ+: Respondents self-identified as LGBTQ+ had higher total work satisfaction averages compared to those not self-identified as LGBTQ+ (M LGBTQ+ =3.5 , M non-LGBTQ+ =3 , F(1, 123)= 5.6, p<.05).

Individual survey items influenced by sexual orientation were:

I can develop my career within this organization , M LGBTQ+ =3.3 , M non-LGBTQ+ =2.5, p<.05

I would encourage someone else to work here at the College , M LGBTQ+ =3.7 , M non-LGBTQ+ =2.6, p<.00

Position: Faculty reported lower total work satisfaction averages compared to administrators (M Adm = 3.4, M Faculty =2.8, M Staff =3, p<.00).

Individual survey items influenced by position were:

- I use my talents and abilities at work , M Adm = 3.6, M Faculty =3.1, M Staff =3.3, p<.05 - I can express my thoughts and feelings openly , M Adm = 3.0, M Faculty =2.0, M Staff =2.6, p<.05 - I can develop my career within this organization , M Adm = 3.2, M Faculty =2.6, M Staff =2.3, p<.05. - I am kept up to date on what is happening within the College , M Adm = 3.3, M Faculty =2.7, M Staff =2.9, p<.05 - I would encourage someone else to work here at the College , M Adm = 3.4, M Faculty =2.5, M Staff =2.7, p<.05 Gender: Although there were no differences between males and females on the overall work satisfaction average, females scored lower on the item I can develop my career within this organization, M Female = 2.3, M Male =2.8, p<.01.
