Tóm tắt

PurposeThe objective of this paper is to study how marketing professors see their job.

Grounded theory technique was employed to collect and analyse the data.FindingsThere is a substantial diversity of professional paths and a quest for satisfaction and pleasure associated with the relative freedom and lower stress of the teaching profession, as compared to executive life.Research limitations/implicationsThe exploratory and non‐conclusive nature hinder the findings to be generalised and the wideness of the problem making the analysis broad but not deep.Practical implicationsUnderstand marketing professors and raise some ideas about how to improve teaching performance.Originality/valueThe work should be of interest to academics, professors and educational organizations seeking to improve marketing teaching and learning.
