Инновационный подход к организации и оплате труда научно-педагогических работников образовательных организаций высшего образования

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of a sharp increase in the workload of scientific and pedagogical staff (SPS) of higher educational institutions, which has worsened under the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis of the main reasons for the growing workload has been carried out (the need to develop e-learning courses and replace colleagues due to the increased morbidity), as well as the possible negative impact of this factor on the higher education system. The assessment of the increasing volume of educational and methodological work during the transition to a combination of traditional and distance education technologies is carried out. Based on the analysis of the standard procedure for rationing the work of scientific and pedagogical staff, which is widespread in the Russian universities, the proposals for creating the innovative system of organization and remuneration of teachers are developed. The system is based on the differentiation of the categories of SPS, depending on the main activities performed (educational, research, methodological, etc.) into three sub-categories: SPE of the specialized department, SPE of the academic department, and SPE of a professional organization. There is proposed a matrix distribution of official salaries, depending on the SPE subcategory and qualification level. The teacher's salary consists of a fixed official salary and a flexible system of allowances based on the use of weight coefficients that are changed in accordance with the priority directions of the educational organization's development strategy. The proposed system can be adapted to the changing requirements of the labor market and education legislation and motivate the teachers to self-development, to using innovative educational technologies and research activities, and at the same time can retain all state guarantees for remuneration.
