The purpose of this instrumental case study was to explore the perception of constant access to technology for faculty members in the university setting. Constant access to technology was defined as the majority of work tasks taking place in front of the computer, the expectation of quick email responses, and the pressure for continual student interaction, particularly outside of regular business hours. Burnout theory guided this study, which provided views of faculty’s efficiency, stress levels, and personal time.Faculty attrition & retention can be seen to have many meanings and can be explained academically in a variety of ways. However, in simple terms it would mean finding talented people, having them perform well and keeping them in the organization. One needs to look at different ways and means by which Academic Institutions in India, are trying to keep their talent management process in place not only in acquiring talent, but also to retain the talented people from moving out of their educational institute. This doctoral research work seeks to empirically examine the process, in which the faculty members are hired, nurtured/trained and retained in Academic Institutions and the factors affecting faculty shortage in Academic Institutions. 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 Teaching profession. The methodology adopted in this study was both qualitative and quantitative research. The data was collected from the combination of structured questionnaires and from personal interviews with selected stakeholders of Academic Institutions (Deans, Faculty ). The personal enquiry notes were the rewarding phase of the research. This has been documented with meticulous care. Data has been processed and analysed using SPSS / Excel. The population studied was the Management Institutes in Lucknow & periphery. This study was confined to State of Uttar Pradesh due to time and cost limitations. These institutes showed homogeneity in terms of recruitment, selection and retention of faculty in general and were headed by Deans/HODs meeting academic criteria, as laid down by AICTE. In this research probability sampling was used to draw conclusions from a sample and to generalize the results back to the population and convenience sampling was used in case of Heads.
