Quality of work life and academic staff performance: a comparative study in public and private universities in Malaysia

ABSTRACTThe aim of this study is to explore the relationship between the quality of work life (QWL) of academic staff in universities and how QWL affects their performance. Data for this study were collected using a questionnaire from 379 academic staff in public and private universities in Malaysia.

The Effects of Learning and Growth Perspective on Financial Performance in Private Universities

Many organisations are known to focus more on their financial gains to the detriments of their other roles that they are expected to discharge to their workforce and the communities. It has also been established from previous researches that financial performance would not be adequately valid with only performance measures unless others that are non-financial measures are incorporated, particularly with respect to those in the traditional BSC, such as is Learning and Growth Perspective (LGP). Yet, there are limited publications that examined the effects of LGP on organisational FP for Private Universities (PUs). In this paper, the effects of LGP on the Financial Performance of Yemen's PUs was investigated. A designed questionnaire based on Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was carried out. The results showed that LGP has a positive and direct effect on the Financial Performance of the Yemen's PUs. This paper therefore will help in achieving the goals of Yemen's PUs of Yemen in order to enhance their organizational Financial Performance (FP).

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the impact of the work related stress and job burnout & low level of motivation, which resulted in low performance of a faculty member at Private Universities and educational institutions in Pakistan. A survey research was employed in order to carry out this research. For this purpose, 82 respondents were taken from the Private Universities and educational institutions in Karachi City.

Moreover, as it is further concluded, due to Stress & Burnout, the employee will be tuned out into the depressive mood and it will express itself in the form of a low motivation level, which will also hamper the faculty member’s performance at private institutions & Universities. It is recommended on the basis of the of this research results that there should be a congenial, conducive and independent working environment created, thus providing the conditions for the eradication of the unnecessary pressures burden. Moreover, the Government should take necessary steps in order to ensure the Job security and fringe benefits for a teacher in private institutions and universities.

Catching up with Harvard: results from regression analysis of world universities league tables

This paper uses regression analysis to test if the universities performing less well according to Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s world universities league tables are able to catch up with the top performers, and to identify national and institutional factors that could affect this catching up process. We have constructed a dataset of 461 universities across 41 countries. We found consistent evidence of a moderate degree of catching up, especially amongst non-US universities. Larger universities as well as universities located in English speaking countries not only perform better on average, but also catch up more over 2003–2009. Universities located in lower income countries are also catching up more. The performance of private universities, as compared to that of public universities, varies substantially between the US and the other countries.
