Abstract:
This paper analyzes the evolution of job postings for professorships in the field of business administration at German universities between 2014 and 2022. We use data on 742 job postings at 84 German universities which were published via the newsletter of Deutscher Hochschulverband (DHV). Our findings reveal that the overall number of job postings per year has decreased but that tenure track professorships have become more popular in recent years as a consequence of the Bund-Länder-Programm. Societal trend topics seem to gain importance for business administration research. Job titles of business administration professors increasingly emphasize ESG and digitalization. Additionally, job descriptions are more frequently requesting interdisciplinarity and external funding over time.
