Why is so important the performance measurement?
Higher education institutions need to comply with government mandates. Compete globally for researchers and students.
Measurements help to
set
strategic goals
, allocate budgets
, and
promote the institution’s achievements to potential faculty, collaborators, funders and students.Slide4
The short description of the „pre-research”
The collection of Hungarian performance indicators: document analyses, personal experiences, interviews.The collections of German data: 6 interviews with Professors, Deans and Service Specialists.Slide5

Achievements related with Money
Professor first nomination isn’t for lifetime but only for 5 or 6 years.Timeline for next 5/6 years which is fix.There is a formula where is counted the amount of money for every collegaue for the next year which consists two parts: Fix part which is according to an arrangement.
Variable part
e.g
.
consisting of 50%
(
could be)percent of research (the number of dissertation, habilitation; the amount of money got from outside) and other 50% coming from the
teaching
side (one hand number of students, examinations, thesis from bachelor/master students)

where can be ask for money to improve excellence of teaching and there is also stock of the university. „Everybody to get the normal standard is not easy.”

The activity in teaching and research has influence to get the resources what professors get on the next year! Slide7
Student' satisfaction measurement
The results bring back to the professors and students (internal system).Some faculties are doing to get the achievements in a formula. If somebody has good result he/she get additional money. (But this additional has to use only for teaching development (books, pay for assistant etc.)The system stabilizes the status quo.Slide8
The Attitude to the Evaluation
Everybody has own responsibilities to do the best. Nobody compare the evaluations of colleagues.„I have own responsibility to take high quality. If yours courses has problem student don’t come to the courses – it is the main sign – so one of the main indicator the number of the students.”„We know from our examination office what get the colleagues from the student (good mark/bad mark) but it
hasn’t
consequences
.”
(
at that moment)
„Date is collected by different system (3). We don’t have good
communication between the systems
. University should it combine it.”
The method of student satisfaction is perfect but
the
achievements
are
barely used.
„As lecturers you are successful if you have a lot of master and bachelor theses, research projects and funds by research institutions.”Slide9

Achievements related with Money
Professor nomination is for lifetime Usually there is no Timeline for the budget.There is no formula where is counted the amount of money for colleagues for the next year. There is two parts of salary: Fix part which is according to a formula.
Variable part
connecting with
plus lectures and examinations, evaluations of
diplom
works, dissertation etc.
Outside sources: n
ational
and business programs
where can be ask/earn money to researches.
The activity in teaching and research hasn’t influence to get the resources what professors get on the next year! Slide12

Conclusions
Because of the slim budget of the hungarian higher education sector, the measurement and reward system is poor professors focus on the outside sources (part time jobs, outside projects…)not for the
development
of
teaching
.
Where the system works better there is a problem, how
equality
the
members.
Institutions
struggle to find or develop comparisons across peer institutions — but
there isn’t national standards
and confirmation of the validity of the numbers.
Since sometimes there is no interest to collect data executives say that they and their staff spend a lot of time wrestling with questions about data interpretation and management.Slide14
