Abstract

Teachers are an integral part of society, and handhold future generations into becoming able citizens for tomorrow. They infuse fresh thoughts and actions into society through the youth they educate. Nobility of the profession apart, this is one requiring selfless effort, at not just imparting curriculum to students, but moulding their character as well. With these herculean targets and responsibilities lined up for teachers, the question in focus is whether the systems of performance management they are subject to, is efficient enough to motivate them to put their best foot forward. Performance management starts with performance goal setting, and works its way through execution, assessment, performance reviews and goal revisit. Universities following an agency model of operation rather than stewardship model seldom focus on teacher development and performance improvement. This paper seeks to question only factors that affect the teachers performance at Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs). Comparisons drawn across teacher performance management systems (PMS) of HEIs in different countries will help us understand the performance and its management in varsities, and track down similarities and differences in factors if any, in the Indian counterpart. The objective is to scrutinize teachers performance& PMS and check scope for betterment of the same. Primary data has been obtained from teachers and Heads of 15 colleges affiliated to an Asian University. The paper draws upon secondary data accessed from trusted sources.
