Disciplinary Differences in Job Satisfaction, Self‐efficacy, Goal Commitment and Organisational Commitment among Faculty Employees in Norwegian Colleges: an empirical assessment of indicators of performance

Abstract

Differences in performance indicators among teaching staff in four disciplines in the college sector in Norway are examined. The paper focuses on performance indicators such as job satisfaction, self‐efficacy, goal commitment and organisational commitment in the college sector. Variations in performance indicators between the faculties of nursing, teacher education, engineering and business administration are discussed. The study reveals statistically significant differences in subject‐specific norms. Managerial implications are indicated, and potential directions for further research are discussed.
