A conceptual framework for management academics' behavioural intention to influence students' and companies' values

Abstract

Globalisation has brought issues of cultural diversity to the forefront for companies as well as for higher education institutions (HEI). Business school students, as tomorrow's managers, play a special role in this process. They are both influenced by, and have an influence on, value sets in the educational and corporate contexts. However, while prior debates on the processes of conveying values have been focusing on management academics' roles, the intention of academics to realise their potential to influence others has hardly been analysed. Thus, a conceptual framework that focuses on explaining management academics' behavioural intention to influence values through research and teaching is developed. The suggested framework encompasses the role-specific values, as well as the individual and social determinants of academics. By investigating academics’ subjective perspectives on a potential value influence, a novel approach is taken. The framework may stimulate, underpin and integrate future research in the field. It may thus assist various HEIs and stakeholders to better understand and respond to the academics’ subjective world.
