Description
Summary:Faculty retention of is a major challenge for business schools in competitive market for academic talent. The present study investigated institutional, work-related, and personal factors affecting faculty retention in selected Pakistani business schools. The study relies on the opinions of 15 faculty members from 04 business schools collected through a semi-structured questionnaire and semi-structured telephonic interviews. Content analysis was used to examine and classify the qualitative data. The absence of high rates of compensation, faculty-friendly management practices and administrative structure, cultivation of research environment, and positive institutional attributes have demotivated faculty members to continue their job for a long period. The study suggested business schools to fulfil economic needs of faculty and provide opportunities for their professional growth.
