Literature on academic entitlement is almost always associated with students with little examination of entitlement with reference to educators. Feelings of entitlement among educators make them hold onto rigid ''inherited scripts'' and constrain the development of flexibility required in this global and technologically disruptive era. It is imperative that we understand how entitled behaviours are triggered in the discursive context of teachers'' practice.

Understanding Excessive Teacher and Faculty Entitlement develops a significant body of professional knowledge by providing a deeper and sympathetic understanding of what manifests itself as ''excessive entitlement''. The volume presents a theoretical framework within which one can investigate and articulate issues and helps those concerned with education and teacher education internationally to get a sense of the complexities surrounding teachers'' work.

Bringing together researchers from diverse geographical contexts, this timely book primarily addresses educators and researchers with a spin-off to human resource management in diverse organizational settings.

This second collection of perspectives on excessive teacher/faculty entitlement draws together authors from nine countries to address afresh the ‘conundrums’ affecting teaching and teacher education through the new lens afforded by the notion of excessive entitlement.

After Excessive Teacher and Faculty Entitlement helps teachers/educators negotiate the living contradictions they experience in their sociocultural and institutional milieux which threaten their professional, emotional, and moral survival with the defensive shield of excessive entitlement they feel compelled to embrace. Chapters provide guidance to increase the possibilities of co-creating better learning and working environments for all to realize the commonly cherished educational and life goal of human flourishing.

Besides education and teacher education practice, After Excessive Teacher and Faculty Entitlement has relevance for dealing with excessive entitlement in organizational contexts by offering new ways to view and address the problem.
