Abstract [English]

Faculty members of higher education institutions mainly have three major elements in their job description, i.e. teaching, administrative duties and research. Keeping a sound balance of distribution among all the three elements over an academic year, either in a semester-based system or in a yearly based system, is of utmost importance for the job satisfaction of a faculty member. All these three components need time, devotion, dedication, skills and expertise. Teaching the courses which are relevant to the expert area or the domain of the faculty members need to be considered. i.e., subjects that consume less time for preparation. This study is done with the objectives of identifying the factors affecting the faculty supply in Academic Institutions and to understand the key drivers of post graduate (Management) students towards taking the Teaching profession.
Retaining the so-called "faculty members" at these "knowledge centers" has become a critical challenge in higher education. This study aims to examine the effect on teacher retention in private higher education institutions of "pay satisfaction" and "opportunities of learning and development" based on prior research. Faculty and administrators alike are not happy with the current state of affairs. In the absence of a transparent framework, stakeholders have plenty of reasons to point fingers at one another.
