Performance Management System in Higher Education-An Empirical Study

Performance management system in recent times has gained immense popularity irrespective of nature and control of institution. Performance management system is considered critical for improving individual performance and increasing institutional competitiveness. In higher educational context, performance management system is widely discussed and debated among academicians and policy makers as it is been regarded as one of the vital factor for institution building. This study aimed to examine the perception of teaching personnel towards performance management system prevailing in sample select universities. It further, aims to study employee's perception towards performance management system across demographic variables like gender, age and experience. The study gathered responses from 282 teaching personnel from within the state of J&K. The data whatsoever collected was analyzed using SPSS 20 version. The results of the study revealed that teaching personnel of sample select universities have shown above average satisfaction level with respect to existing performance management system prevailing in their respective universities. Moreover, it was found that gender did not have any significant effect on the satisfaction level of teaching personnel while as demographic variables like age and experience had a significant effect on the perception level of teaching personnel prevailing in sample select universities. The findings of the study regarding performance management system in sample select universities have certain policy implications which if addressed can make them to function and perform more effectively. Therefore, it calls for improving the performance management system of academic staff through identifying and developing their talent and enriching the process of appraisal system which eventually will help in their individual development and would also lead towards enriching institution building process.

Automatic Attendance System Using Deep Learning

In this paper, novel automatic attendance system is proposed by using machine learning and deep learning algorithms. Real-time face recognition algorithms are used and integrated with existing University management system which detects and recognize faces of students in real time while attending lectures. This new proposed system for automatic attendance system aims to be less time consuming in comparison to the existing system of marking the attendance. The designed system does not interrupt class in any manner. Therefore, it saves potential time of students as well as of teachers. From the experiment analysis it is found that the accuracy of proposed system is 97%. Hence proposed system doesn’t require any rectification and verification from teachers.

PRACTICE OF INTRODUCING LEAN TECHNOLOGIES IN THE UNIVERSITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: A PROJECT APPROACH

Within the modern educational space, in the conditions of transformation of the external environment, tough competition obliges universities to build their own development strategies and trajectories of internal changes using effective management approaches and technologies. The purpose of the article is to describe a new managerial practice in the field of higher education, demonstrating the advantage of using project management when introducing changes to the university management system associated with the transition to the so-called «lean manufacturing» (which takes place, for example, in Belgorod State National Research University and in Belgorod State University). The article as well aims at suggesting practical recommendations on the development of a model for a lean design system project. The author focuses on two managerial problems – the one of resisting changes in the implementation of lean manufacturing and the other of lacking consistency in implementing the corresponding changes. There are found out a number of constraints limiting the use of lean technologies in higher education organizations management. The article analyzes the experience of implementing lean technologies in the scientific, educational and managerial activities of higher education institutions on the example of several Russian and foreign universities. It also reveals the essence of the implemented approaches and technologies. There are used the methods of active comparative analysis and theoretical generalization of scientific and practical experience, content analysis of regulatory acts of the Belgorod Region on the lean management principles implementation in executive bodies, as well as strategic development documents of Belgorod State Research University through the interrelation of lean management and the strategy of university development. Based on generalizing the experience of Belgorod State National Research University, a model of a lean system development project is suggested, recommendations are given on structuring the project architecture and on forming a team of changes and a project management system, which may be of interest to regional universities when introducing lean manufacturing and choosing change management methods.

Performance Management in State Universities in Cameroon: An Administrator’s Perspective

This study provides an in-depth understanding of how administrators perceive the purpose and value of the performance management systems in state Universities of Cameroon; how the administrator assess the effectiveness of current performance management processes in the department; the different dimensions of how administrators perceive the impact of academic managers on their work performance; the extent to which administrators respond to the process, measure and outcomes involved in operating the performance management system. The study also analyzes what administrators think is an effective performance management system in the state Universities. The research adopted a qualitative case study approach by selecting 12 administrators from 6 state Universities with varied backgrounds in terms of years of service, seniority and gender. Data were collected through in-depth, semi- structured interviews and documentary sources. Among the major findings were that the participants found the meaning and purposes of performance management ambiguous; and that the many different processes contained within the system were perceived as fragmenting and confusing in achieving the intended outcomes. Compounding the concern was the lack of dedicated and able academics to manage the process.

Status quo of the Regulations on the Academic Committees of medical colleges and universities and reflection

As the highest academic institution, the academic committee is the core of the academic management system and organizational structure in medical colleges and universities. The regulations on the Academic Committees are the criteria for the academic operation of colleges and universities. Since the promulgation of the Regulations on Academic Committees of Higher Education by the Ministy of Educa-tion in 2014, medical colleges and universities have gradually improved the construction of the regulations. However, few studies have been conducted on the construction of academic committees in medical colleges and universities. The present paper analyzed the regulations on the academic committees of 20 medical colleges and universities, pointed out the inadequacies of the regulations on the academic committees of the medical colleges and universities in China from the aspects of the functions and construction, aiming to provide reference for the construction of the academic management system for modern medical colleges and universities. Key words: Academic Committee; Regulations on the Academic Committee; Medical colleges and universities

Academics’ social positioning towards the restructured management system in Finnish universities

ABSTRACTThe invasion of managerialism in universities has changed the prerequisites for academic work. Decision making and control over academic work based on the expertise of academics have declined; in turn, managers have gained more decision-making power. Our study’s target group comprises academics representing educational sciences in two Finnish universities, where large managerialist reforms have been carried out. We explore how the academics positioned themselves towards the new management system based on managerialism. In the analysis of our qualitative work welfare survey data, we applied a narrative-discursive approach. The positionings traced in the analysis ranged from resistance to managerialism to desire for strong management. The new management system was regarded as problematic because it was perceived as neglecting traditional academic ideals. We conclude that increased managerial control, accompanied by many administrative duties, may disturb the basic work of academics and therefore decrease the quality of research and teaching in universities.

Peran Auditor Internal dalam Implementasi Manajemen Risiko pada Perguruan Tinggi

Implementation of risk management applies not only to companies but also to universities. However, the implementation of risk management to universities is still limited and still needs improvement. This limitation is due to the absence of special units in universities dealing with risk management issues. This article focuses on the implementation of risk management at Universitas Negeri Semarang by using descriptive analysis. The results show that Internal Control Unit on Unnes has run the IIA (2009) mandate related to its participation in the implementation of risk management system by sticking to independence and objectivity. Furthermore, the implementation of three line of defenses on Universitas Negeri Semarang has not been able to be implemented. This is due to the lack of resources in the field of risk management, as well as limited scope. Therefore, it is expected that the internal control unit able to always increase their role in developing, implementing and evaluating risk management system in universities.

Web-Based Strategic Performance Management System for State Universities and Colleges (SUCS)

Strategic Performance Management System (SPMS) aims to facilitate improvement on how management determines the performance of employees. The system is designed to develop a centralized tool to create, supervise, and monitor the performance of employees and heads of offices who are both teaching and non-teaching staff through the completion of their Office Performance Commitment Review (OPCRs) and Individual Performance Commitment and Review (IPCRs). The system used the Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology of developing the project. It is a development lifecycle designed to give faster development and higher-quality results than those achieved with the traditional lifecycle. The prototype development process consists of a series of design and builds steps in which the users have the opportunity to fine-tune the requirements and review the resulting software implementation. In addition to the tested software, construction stage deliverables include documentation and instructions necessary to operate the new application, routines, and procedures needed to put the system into operation. The web-based SPMS is user-friendly which means the suggested forms for organizational and individual commitments and performance are similar and easy to complete. The office, division, and individual major final outputs and success indicators are aligned to cascade organizational goals to individual employees and harmonize organizational and staff performance ratings.

ФОРМИРОВАНИЕ ТИПОВЫХ МОДУЛЕЙ СИСТЕМЫ УПРАВЛЕНИЯ ВУЗОМ НА ОСНОВЕ МЕТОДА САГАТОВСКОГО

The paper presents the analysis of the general structure of the first two levels of the management system of a typical educational institution on the basis of the system approach. As the main methodology of system analysis, Sagatovsky method was chosen. Based on the results of the analysis, a general scheme of the first two levels of university management was formed. There has been carried out classification of types of classified information which is processed in the university; there were identified seven basic types of data. A procedure is proposed for assessing the importance of information of each type in each of the components of the management system in terms of specific global goals of the institution functioning. The above procedure is implemented in relation to training highly qualified specialists. The proposed procedure will allow not only to rank all the components of the university management system in terms of their importance for achieving the goals set for the university, but to compare different management structures of the university, both with each other and with the standard structure. This helps to identify possible directions for improving the structure of the management system of a particular educational institution. Estimates of the importance of components can be used to form the structure of an automated information processing and management system for a particular institution.

Meet the phallic lecturer: early career research in a neoliberal imaginary

ABSTRACTThis article introduces the concept of the phallic lecturer, a spectral figure negotiated in the early stages of a research career in education, when the relative freedom of doctoral study morphs into compliance with institutional demands. Awareness of the dominance of the phallic in education emerges from reading curriculum theorist Madeleine Grumet, feminist philosopher Judith Butler and academic Judith Baxter, whose feminist poststructuralist discourse analysis offers ways to engage with the addresses and imperatives of phallicism that move beyond traditional, masculinist discourse analysis. The article expands an initial study of how secondary teachers both comply with and subvert curricula and shifts to the pedagogical addresses of university learning management systems, as they call gendered subjectivities into being, interpellating junior academics as shining lights or failed subjects. These concepts are offered to other researchers seeking to speak back to the common sense demands of neoliberalism that prosthetically structure work in higher education.

Human Resources Management in Higher Education Institutions in Poland

Human Resources Management in Higher Education Institutions in Poland The paper presents the diagnosis of the human resources management in Polish higher education institutions. The analysis of source literature was applied as a research method. The essence and components of HRM in connection with the university management system were discussed, the theoretical solutions, including those resulting from the provisions of the Law, and their practical implementations, were given a broad outline. The directions of changes concerning HRM that have recently taken place in HEIs were indicated. In conclusion it was stated that the human resources management in Polish higher education institutions still requires improvement, primarily in the areas of motivation and remuneration, evaluation and development of employees. It requires the improvement of the university management system, a reliable development of its mission, vision and strategy, and on the basis of those - the development of personnel strategy, and HRM processes, procedures and tools. It has been suggested that the inclusion of university employees, particularly the research and teaching staff, in the management process (through the participatory management style), can contribute to both improving the process and developing and improving the personnel function.

Comparison of Management Practices in Public and Private Universities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

<p> <em>This study attempted to compare the management practices in public and private universities in Khyber Pakhtunkhawa, Pakistan. The comparison is based on availability of written rules and regulations, distribution of tasks, availability of managers, access to officers, time management, work load, staff promotion procedure and appraisal system. Additionally, the comparison is also based on transparency, political intervention, use of authorities, nepotism and biasness, human resource availability and functions, academic decisions, existence of different decision making bodies, committees and their role in policy making and implementation and management styles. The population comprised all recognized universities in Khyber Pakhtunkhawa and a convenience sampling of six universities included three from public and three from private sector. The findings showed that both sector universities had the required offices, staff members and managers. The areas where private universities were observed weak as compared to public universities were lack of proper staff vacancy advertisements and induction policies, vague appraisal system, low salary packages and limited freedom to managers. Public universities were found unsatisfactory in areas including staff induction on merit based policies and political intervention, lack of monitoring system and lack of collegiality amongst university offices. The study recommends that universities in both sectors should prepare staff and student manuals for transparency procedures, should improve the skills and knowledge of its staff/managers by conducting seminars/ workshops/ trainings in collaboration with HEC and other regulatory bodies on regular basis, and establish public private partnership to improve university management system in Pakistan.</em></p>

LSA Based Smart Assessment Methodology for SDN Infrastructure in IoT Environment

The Software Defined Network (SDN) is merged in the Internet of Things (IoT) to interconnect large and complex networks. It is used in the education system to interconnect students and teacher by heterogenous IoT devices. In this paper, the SDN-based IoT model for students’ Interaction is proposed which interconnects students to a teacher in a smart city environment. The students and teachers are free to move to anywhere, anytime and with any hardware. An architecture model for students’ teacher’s interaction in IoT is proposed which shows the details procedure about the interaction of teacher with students for electronic assessment. The SDN solves the scalability and interoperability issues between their heterogenous IoT devices. A Methodology for Students’ Answer Assessment using Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) is proposed which calculates the semantic similarity between teacher’s question and students’ answers. The LSA is used to calculate semantic similarity between text documents. It is used to mark the students’ answers automatically by semantics. The Students’ can see results through their IoT devices just after finishing the examination with more accurate marks We have collected fifty (50) undergraduate students’ data from Learning Management System (LMS) of Virtual University (VU) of Pakistan. The experiment is implemented on eighteen (18) students’ answers in R Studio with R version 3.4.2. Teachers are provided with four (4) bins of the mark while the proposed method assigns accurate marks. The experimental results show that the proposed methodology gave accurate results as compared to teacher’s marks.
