Abstract
In management schools, continuations of research level degrees (M.Phil and PhD level) are facing serious challenges at public sector universities in Pakistan. This study is aimed at identifying those factors which affect the degrees in the public sector universities of Pakistan. In any academic institution, academic staff is directly linked with the achievement of these objectives. The recruitment of academic staff is done by the top management with the collaboration of external regulatory authority which is higher education commission (HEC). Current study is descriptive and qualitative in nature and accomplished through conducting detail interviews with from the management, academic staff and students. The results revealed that there are different factors influencing the persuasion of research studies in management sciences. Results also identified that administration of universities, HEC and staff members are playing crucial roles in research studies but government role is prominent and due to its unhealthy educational policies resting roles have been paralyzed. Study findings enlightened that there is need to change the organizational constitution for supervision unless the government lift the ban on recruitment of new academic staff as well as the renewal of former teachers' contracts to support and achieve the advanced educational objectives in the present as well as in the future.
