Analysis of the employment situation of the Communication Sciences teaching staff in Spain

Abstract

In this work, we carry out an analytical approach to the employment and academic situation of the Communication Sciences teaching staff in Spain. Our aim is to discover the real situation of professionals who teach and carry out research in the Advertising and Public Relations, Audiovisual Communication and Journalism degrees. With this macro-objective, we have designed a questionnaire that analyses variables such as professional categories, wages or the number of credits given, among others, thus enabling us to obtain a complete picture about the current performance of university professors, as well as to detect the main difficulties and challenges that this group faces.
