The personnel system of the Chinese colleges and universities experienced a period of three characteristics:the late Qing Dynasty (1898-1911) College Personnel concentration of power in the Staff bureaucratic educational sovereignty by foreign interference, showing the characteristics of semi-colonial; Republic of China (1912-1949 years) colleges and universities centralization co-exist with democracy, the personnel authority was concentrated in the principal, but at the same time colleges and universities to implement democratic management of the "Professors, university staff and gradually go to the bureaucracy, education gradually independent sovereignty; colleges and universities from the new China (1949-present) centralization to liquidity management, administrative decentralization, fixed management contract and remuneration evolved into elasticity from the average assigned to the performance allocation, at the same time, the new Chinese universities heavy "foreign" light "in the" brain drain coexist and the prevalence of economic reform are incompatible with the contemporary market of Talents Scheme.Affect the university personnel system changes, the main exogenous variables (foreign university personnel system, the domestic political system, cultural system), the endogenous variables (academic prosperity, the pursuit of efficiency), the action variables (government, cultural elites and interest groups).Exogenous variables tremendous impact on the Chinese University Personnel. Chinese universities since generated a critical period of imitation of foreign universities, coupled with major changes in Chinese universities, there is a country on the international university personnel system model for imitation in China, so the foreign university personnel system laid each period of the basic framework of China's university personnel system, international inherent qualities of the Chinese university personnel system. Specifically:the Japanese system in the late Qing Dynasty grafting, transplanting the German system of the United States, France, the new China imitate the personnel system of the Soviet Union, the United States. Political system affect the university personnel system, the ultimate home of three points:First, the college personnel authority, affect the central level educational administrative agencies set and the third is the division of powers of central and local education administrative bodies and government and school relationship. Cultural systems, the personnel system changes for the personnel system to provide the support of a concept, provide legitimacy to the support, or to create a personnel system that can be accepted by the atmosphere, mainly as follows:the totalitarianism of the central educational administrative centralization; the "official position" is the cultural basis of the bureaucratization of the university staff and university management departments; collectivistic cultures, the College is established within the organization of the collegiate system in the form; the spirit of openness to the university personnel system by the impact of foreign university personnel system; great importance to moral ethical standards and to explain the Chinese university personnel system staff "Germany"; special 'Chinese colleges and universities in the teachers' appointment, evaluation, promotion showed great importance to learning edge, geopolitical features.Endogenous variable (the pursuit of academic prosperity and efficiency of the target) is an important factor to affect the university personnel system changes. The organizational characteristics of colleges and universities is mainly academic, the university is composed of academic staff-teachers, colleges and universities accounted for the power of the dominant position of academic power, making the university personnel system changes can not be separated from the pursuit of the democratic management of Academic.
