Human Resource Practices Report

The document discusses compensation, benefits, motivation, and job satisfaction for employees at public universities, private universities, and foreign universities. At public universities, compensation is moderate but additional benefits like security, insurance, and pensions make the jobs lucrative. Private university compensation is not adequate, especially for entry-level positions, but increases more over time at top schools. Foreign universities have the highest salaries and best benefits. Overall, satisfaction is highest at public universities, followed by foreign, with private universities having the lowest satisfaction due to lack of benefits, heavy workloads, and politics.

Compensation and Benefits

From our observation we found that: -

Compensation in public universities are moderate and additional benefits like security, insurance
options and pension make the jobs lucrative. There is also accommodation and transport
facilities.

In private varsities the compensation is not adequate enough relative to the heavy workload in
entry level like lecturer. But increments are comparatively more in later stages in top tier private
universities. But there are not enough benefits like job security or pension. Insurance options,
transportation facilities are also available.

In foreign countries like USA, UK, Japan the salaries are high along with additional benefits like
employee assistance, bonuses, accommodation and transport facilities. For this many prefer
going abroad.

Compensation increase has been proportional to the time value of money. Except that there has
been no significant change in the situation.
Motivation and Job satisfaction
In public varsities the job securities, facilities, status creates motivation for employees. There is
collaboration among colleague and research options are present. Power harassment due to
political issues is not that uncommon. But overall satisfaction is higher compared to private
universities.
From the interviews and survey, we performed we found that most of the lecturers are not
satisfied with their work. Work hours are moderately flexible but sometimes they have to work
during holidays or at late night which is uncomfortable for many. There are gender biases
regarding hiring but it has been reducing gradually over the years. Although political effects are
negligible, there is intra institutional politics for promotion. And there is no research option in
most private varsities.
In foreign varsities like USA, UK, Germany, Japan the workplace environment is good along
with research opportunities. Also, the discrimination is negligible but sometimes discrimination
against minority are seen.
Overall, the satisfaction is lower in private universities compared to public and foreign varsities.
Now my teammate will continue: -
Thank you Nazar. Let’s talk about the recommendations.

- Structural revamp is a must for both types of institutions. But private universities must formulate
robust and specific HR strategy and act accordingly rather than becoming the “authoritarian regime” of
HOD or VC. Additionally, orientation and training programs should be made more effective by catering
personalized requirements, rather than being standardized ones.

- In terms of performance appraisal, they already have kind of Paired appraisal system. They should also
incorporate BARS (Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales) method and Peer appraisal, in addition to
regular feedback.

- Private universities must revise the entry level remuneration. Perhaps the government can impose a
“unified salary scale” assuring minimum recruitment quality and compensation.

- Motivation and satisfaction level are glaring issues in most of the private HEIs. Introducing work time
flexibility, creating job security and improving working environment will surely bring about a lot of
improvement.

Now, about the public universities.

- Major problems of public universities’ HRM are politics and nepotism driven recruitment,
comparatively unskilled and uncooperative admin staff, nearly non-existent orientation and training
program, lack of systematic personal appraisal and most importantly corruption and political affiliation
in terms of decision making. Government’s active and honest intervention is required to address this
elephant in the room.

- They need to implement some radical changes in the form of open and fair recruitment, better training
programs, regular feedback, performance-oriented growth and incentives etc. They also need to sort out
the unskilled and uncooperative admin stuff through required means i.e. training and regulations.

- Motivation and satisfaction level are comparatively better at public universities. Still, measures must be
taken to facilitate the new recruits and protect them from unethical working overload, pressure and
workplace harassments.

Higher Educational Institutions are the highest-level factory for building skilled manpower. So, it is
imperative that HRM in this sector must thrive and change with the world. Additionally, measures
should be made to incorporate technological advancements e.g. data analytics, machine learning etc to
improve the HRM activities and compete with the rest of the world.

Well, that’s all. Thank you so much for your time.
