高校教师职业特点及激励机制研究

对高校教师的激励是高校管理中的难题之一。教师职业具有工作以脑力劳动为主、劳动成果难以衡量、工作自主性大、社会地位较高等特点。目前对教师的考核和激励又存在着过分重视量化指标、不重视青年教师的作用和待遇、激励措施不得力等问题。因此,要正确认识不同阶层教师的需求,对教师进行分类激励;同时,要把对教师的考核和管理权力下放至院系,实现对教师的弹性考核和柔性考核。

A Study on the Professional Characteristics of University Teachers and an Incentive Mechanism for Them

How to stimulate the enthusiasm of the teachers is one of the difficulties that universities face in their management.The career of teaching is featured by the following characteristics: teachers are mainly engaged in mental labor;their performance is difficult to measure;they have relative freedom in work which gives them much room to act on their own;their social position is relatively high.At present,in the assessment of a teacher's performance such problems as follows exist: a teacher's performance is largely measured by quantitative targets;the role and treatment of young teachers are not given enough attention;the incentive measures are not effective enough,etc.There should be a correct understanding of the varying needs of different kinds of teachers,and different stimulating measures should be applied to cater to the different needs of teachers.In addition,the power to administer the teachers and the power to assess a teacher's performance should be passed down to the various colleges and departments.A flexible and soft standard should be exercised in evaluating a teacher's performance.
