A multicriteria decision analysis model for faculty evaluation

In the context of increasing demands for social and financial accountability of universities, the required implementation of transparent faculty evaluation systems constitutes a challenge and an opportunity for universities strategically aligning the activity of academic staff with the university goals. However, despite growing interest in the performance appraisal of faculty, only a few reported studies propose models that cover the full range of academic activities and the models in use are typically based on ad hoc scoring systems that lack theoretical soundness. This article approaches faculty evaluation from an innovative comprehensive perspective. Based on the concepts and methods of multiple criteria value measurement, it proposes a new faculty evaluation model that addresses the whole range of academic activities and can be applied within and across distinct scientific areas, while respecting their specificities. Constructed through a socio-technical process, the model was designed for and adopted by the Instituto Superior Técnico, the engineering school of the Technical University of Lisbon. The model has a two-level hierarchical additive structure, with top-level evaluation areas specified by second-level evaluation criteria. A bottom non-additive third level accounts for the quantitative and qualitative dimensions of academic activity related to each evaluation criterion. The model allows (a) the comparison of the performance of academic staff with performance targets reflecting the strategic policy concerns of university management; (b) the definition of the multicriteria value profile of each faculty member at the top level of the evaluation areas; (c) the computation of an overall value score for each faculty member, through an optimisation procedure that makes use of a flexible system of weights and (d) the assignment of faculty members to rating categories.     

实践导向管理研究评价的基本问题探讨——兼论由“出路与展望:直面中国管理实践”引发的学术争鸣

对《出路与展望》一文引起的学术争鸣进行评论,探讨实践导向管理研究评价的基本问题。实践导向管理研究包括发现管理新知的科学基础研究和解决问题的实践应用研究2个基本范畴,其主要特点应当是实践的指向性、过程的科学性、结果的实效性和成果的创新性。2种实践导向管理研究的评价目标定位虽然存在一定差异,但均可以通过形式评价、内容评价和效用评价的不同指标及其权重设置进行合理评价。当然,要规范这类研究的评价还要做好对评价主体的遴选、监督和激励的评价主体管理。     

基于PDCA的供应链视角下物流客户服务绩效评价研究

政府投资项目代建人选择评价模型研究

基于对国内试点地区政府部门与代建单位的调研,提出由代建人实力与业绩、代建项目组织管理水平、代建管理大纲、代建管理目标及保证措施、代建管理费用5个一级指标、13个二级指标构成的代建人选择评价指标体系,采用Likert 5点法对指标进行综合评分。在此基础上,运用模糊熵的方法,以条件熵度量各项评价指标的相对重要性,采用双基点法确定出代建人的优劣顺序,避免了依赖主观判断进行评分的弊端,提高了政府在代建人选择过程中的客观性和准确性。最后,通过项目实例验证了该模型的有效性。     

Quality Risk Ratings in Global Supply Chains

Extended enterprises face many challenges in managing the product quality of their suppliers. Consequently characterizing the quality risk posed by value‐chain partners has become increasingly important. There have been several recent efforts to develop frameworks for rating the quality risk posed by suppliers. We develop an analytical model to examine the impact of such quality ratings on suppliers, manufacturers, and social welfare. While it might seem that quality ratings would benefit high‐quality suppliers and hurt low‐quality suppliers, we show that this is not always the case. We find that such quality ratings can hurt both types of suppliers or benefit both, depending on the market conditions. We also find that quality ratings do not always benefit the most demanding manufacturers who desire high‐quality suppliers. Finally, we find that social welfare is not always improved by risk ratings. These results suggest that public policy initiatives addressing risk ratings must be carefully considered.     

对“农村部分计划生育家庭奖励扶助制度”的评估与建议

在部分农村计划生育家庭奖励扶助养老制度试点一年多后,运用在贵州、湖北、河南和江苏四省试点地区的调查资料,从群众对政策内容的认同、对政策运行过程的看法、对政策效果的认同和对政策的信任度等方面,对奖扶制度进行评估。总体而言,奖扶制度是一项受到农村绝大多数干部和群众赞成的政策,政策的运行机制是一项很有价值的创新。但政策中有关奖扶对象的确认标准和对象的认定程序等还有待完善。     

高校课程思政评价的原则、模式与方法

高校课程思政评价应遵循政治性、融合性、实效性等原则,着力从评价内容、评价机制、评价体系、评价场域等方面形成符合教育教学规律和课程思政特点的评价模式,并在实践中坚持质性评价与量化评价、过程性评价与结果性评价、诊断性评价与发展性评价相结合的评价方法,构建起科学合理的课程思政评价结构,进而激发课程思政内生性改革,推动课程思政规范化建设,全面提升课程思政质效。     

人文社会科学学术期刊质量评价体系构建及实证研究——基于专家视角分析

中国现有的人文社会科学学术期刊评价体系以定量评价为主导,尽管有一定的合理之处,但在实际评价中"以刊评文"、学术创新力不足、重量轻质等问题日益凸显.在当前学术评价倡导"破五唯",建设高品质学术期刊,展现中国特色的背景下,人文社会科学学术期刊质量评价体系的构建需要遵循人文社会科学学术期刊的特点,避免过度量化,进行真正深入学术期刊内容,强调学术创新、学术声誉、特色风格、功能影响等定性指标.在构建评价体系的基础上,选取20种中国文学学术期刊进行实证研究表明,运用该评价体系可以反映以引文指标为重要比例的文献计量学指标难以反映的特征,能够取得较好的评价结果.
