The Japan Association of National Universities has announced the basic concept of personnel and salary management reforms that promote the motivation and performance of national university faculty members.
Since the incorporation of national universities in 2004, the reduction of operating expenses subsidies has forced them to reduce labor costs and the number of faculty members, which has led to a weakening of the education and research base, which has become a serious adverse effect. ing.Under these circumstances, national universities are making efforts to secure human resources while devising various employment forms by diversifying financial resources such as own funds and external funds as well as operating expenses subsidies.
As part of this, personnel and salary management reforms will secure diverse faculty members, including young faculty members, increase the motivation of each faculty member, and aim to improve the educational and research capabilities of national universities as a whole.
This time, the Japan Association of National Universities has summarized the basic ideas for fair and transparent performance evaluation of faculty members and the construction of a new salary system that can appropriately reflect it in personnel salary management reform.The ideas presented this time share the basic goals and directions of reforms for national universities as a whole, and it is assumed that each university will build a concrete system.
The concept of performance evaluation is that all faculty members are evaluated, and after conducting self-evaluation of faculty members and peer reviews of each department, the final evaluation goes through a university-wide evaluation committee, etc., and is an appropriate evaluation throughout the university. It was decided to build a system.In addition, the evaluation items (education, research, social contribution, management and administration, etc.) and evaluation criteria will be set up in a university-wide framework based on the direction that each university is aiming for.
The new salary system is based on determining salary based on performance evaluation rather than years of service, and consisting of basic salary, performance salary, and various allowances.The basic salary determines the basic salary based on the results of comprehensive evaluations of various achievements of teachers over multiple years rather than a single year.In addition, we strongly requested the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to calculate the retirement allowance by setting the same level as the conventional monthly salary system as a special factor expense for operating expenses subsidies and ensuring that it will be taken in the future.
Furthermore, the Japan Association of National Universities urges the national government to take care not to require all universities to take uniform measures, as the personnel and salary management system should be built independently and autonomously by each university.In addition, financial support, various surveys and analyzes of university personnel and financial data, and similar reforms not only at national universities but also at public and private universities, R & D corporations, private companies, etc. Requested to promote it.
