European Journal of Educational Sciences, v1 n2 p283-296 Jun 2014
People are the most valuable assets of educational institutions. Exploring best practices for managing human resources in universities has become a challenge for university quality enhancement and competitiveness in order to attract and retain students. Enhancing students' experience became a priority by providing them the best education and learning experience and by redirecting ways of managing their Human Resources toward more empowerment and efficiency. The objective of this paper is to shed the light on the impact of Human resources practices on student's experience and to assess the results of common managerial practices in the Lebanese Private Higher education Sector. This article examines the relationship between quality of job performances in a university and academic human resources management (HRM) practices mainly: Faculty empowerment and job insecurity. The study has been conducted using secondary data from the database of one of the largest private universities in Lebanon from a sample of 136 faculty members. Data gathered are related to academic and administrative responsibilities, assessment and feedback results from students and senior peers (deans). While the cross section results of the t-test show that empowerment of Faculty members and job security can play a positive in promoting quality in job performance and teaching and learning.
