Study On Human Resources Development Of College Teachers Based On Career-Person-Hypothesis

The coming knowledge economy, combined with the ever-fiercer international competition is underlining the key role of knowledge and intelligence in strengthening our nation and advancing our society. To better playing their social role, colleges, as cradle of intelligence, science and technology, are now carrying out campaign on their education and management institution reform, which is now coming into the most important and difficult stage, human resources management (HRM) reform. For its direct connection with college teachers, who is the final representative of college intelligence resources, it becomes the key of the whole advanced education reform to establish an effective HRM mechanism, which could help to inspirit teachers'activity, creativity and potential. While it is by no means an easy doing. For one thing, theoretical as well as empirical study concerning human resources management and development (HRMD) oriented to business organization emerging, most of which even come from college teachers'work, few has been made particularly on college teachers themselves. At the same time, some executer, without any theoretical guideline, tend to simply take those methods for business area used to tackle with problems in scholar area, which proved to be unfit, some even undermined college teachers'nature role in the society. So, a deeper study, from wholly a new perspective, on college teachers'HRMD appears to be of great importance theoretically and empirically. On background analysis and situation survey, we believe that the bottleneck of current college teacher resources management lies in the lack of a management theory foundation,and based on it, a whole management methodology system,which could fit college teachers'identity and also embody values of management, ethnics, as well as many other criteria. To give an insight into the problem, this study, on bringing forward the concept of "Career Person Hypothesis"(CPH) and setting college teachers as typical career person, discussed college teacher HRMD, which includes: (1) Applicability of former HRM theories. Former materials concerning HRM reviewed and summarized, their applicability on particularly the profession of teacher was mainly discussed, which reveal the direct motive of this study. (2) Empirical study on college teacher human resources. To lay a foundation for college teachers'CPH identity, empirical survey was conducted on current situation of college teachers. A need-alignment of the subject was induced from survey data. (3) CPH-based HRMD frame for college teachers. A new taxonomy of "Make-living Person; Occupation Person and Career Person"was suggested. Based on above survey and study, an opinion was put forward, from perspective of both management and education, claiming college teacher as typical career person. Common characteristics of the subjects and their needs were summered up, and framework of CPH-based HRMD for college teachers was established. (4) Multi-dimension methods of college teachers'performance assessment. Under the model of CPH-based HRMD for college teachers, an assessment policy of "Quantitative, Comprehensive, Integrated and Dynamic"was suggested, and along with it, a 4-dimention index system of "teaching, researching, serving and civiliztion",as well as the four mathematical index model common used, among which, "adding model"was selected as the supplied model of integrated college teachers'performance index. (5) Quality-based HR valuing for college teachers. A valuing matrix was suggested for the value to be more accurate and timely, and the career planning, training and management of college teachers more credible, and further, a set of practical valuing method was established. (6) Career-person-cultivating-oriented career planning for college teachers. For their sustainable growing, college teachers, as the typical career person, should be tailored their own career plan individually, so that to give support in their recruiting, training, assessment and promotion. Related program, mechanism and police as a whole system should also be mapped out. CPH-based-HRMD for college teachers is helpful in the subjects'multi-value inspiriting, working willingness protecting and career potential tapping. While both its theory and practice can be fairly enormous and complex a systematic project. Although various management elements was discussed, which is most representative of their career person identity of college teachers, such as performance measuring, HR valuing and career planning etc., this study is more confined in offering a theory basis. There is still a long way to go in this area.
