Abstract

Higher education is the face of innovation for any country. The quality and dedication of professors help to maintain quality in this process. With time, parameters were raised to check the quality of professor attributes. In this paper, we discuss all possible parameters taken by universities to evaluate faculty performance. Gradually it grew overhead pressure on professors and impacted the teaching-learning process. Our paper focused on stress parameters with possible solutions for the same issue. The process consists of several parameters to evaluate an employee's performance, such as no publications in conferences and journals, no patents filed, additional responsibilities performed, other qualifications achieved, result in the analysis of courses taught, etc. Still, it also puts a lot of pressure on both of them because they have to balance all this extra work and teaching. This paper focuses on different faculty assessment parameters and their impact on the faculty teaching-learning process. We also propose possible solutions on how this stress can be alleviated, and the existing strategy can be simplified.

Highlights

In higher education, faculty assessment is an important part of an academic process that is followed by all colleges and universities worldwide to maintain the quality of education, and it serves as the basis for raising perks and promoting faculty [1][2][3][4]
We suggest a few faculty performance management software that can be used for performance reviews, appraisal, and continuous feedback and helps in making the evaluation process simpler [17]

Summary

Faculty assessment is an important part of an academic process that is followed by all colleges and universities worldwide to maintain the quality of education, and it serves as the basis for raising perks and promoting faculty [1][2][3][4]. The process consists of several parameters to evaluate the performance of an employee, such as no of publications in conferences and journals, no of patents filed, additional responsibilities performed, other qualifications achieved, results in the analysis of courses taught, no of FDP (faculty development program) attended, no of the guest lecture delivered, no of the seminar followed, workshop organized, no of books published among others This process is good to know about how an employee is performing within an organization and about the productivity of an employee [6][7][8][9][10], it creates a lot of stress and pressure on the faculty as they have to balance all these additional works along with teaching [1][11].
