Abstract

The higher education image contributes to the attitude towards the country in the globalized world. This image is formed due to different factors, among them is a university professor’s image which is shaped by a variety of expectations from different social groups referring to the rights, obligations and standards such a professor is to follow. Although there is a lot of research done as for the professor’s image and expectations of different stakeholders, there is a limited number of works analyzing the students’ expectations. To bridge this gap, the paper aims at investigating the students’ views in regard of a professor’s image, comparing them with those of the other stakeholders and providing recommendations to follow. The paper uses both theoretical research methods based on the analysis of recent publications and discussions in the academic community and empirical methods in the form of a survey among students and its content analysis. The results show a mismatch between expectations of employers, community, professors and students as for the role of a professor in society in regard of their behavioral characteristics, research performance and leadership in teaching. The authors recommend that the professors prioritize the expectations from the students and teaching is the primary mission of the university. Further research could imply surveys among the employing university administrators and different societal groups.
