Content Type

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine the main total quality management (TQM) elements adopted and the respective results achieved by higher education institutions (HEIs) in Greece. Design/methodology/approach A research study was designed and carried out in private sector Greek HEIs. Fifteen HEIs were approached through interviews based on a structured questionnaire. The measured variables of the TQM elements and results identified in the literature were used as the questionnaire items. Descriptive statistics were applied to determine the TQM elements mostly adopted and the results achieved by the HEIs. Findings According to the findings, the TQM elements mostly adopted by the Greek HEIs concern the following: student focus, leadership and top management commitment, strategic quality planning, process management and teaching staff and employee involvement. On the other hand, the most significant results achieved by the sample HEIs concern quality performance improvement, teaching staff and employee satisfaction, operational performance improvement and the positive impact on society. Research limitations/implications The subjective data collection involved chief executive officers of a small sample of HEIs operating in a European Union country. Thus, no advanced statistical methods could be applied. Based on these limitations, future research studies are recommended. Practical implications By focusing on specific TQM elements, an HEI can develop a robust TQM model, approach business excellence, which can, in turn, help the HEI apply for appropriate quality awards, and finally derive significant benefits. In doing so, an HEI can lay the foundations for being competitive in the current global context that is characterised by an economic downturn. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature by empirically determining the TQM elements mostly adopted as well as the respective results achieved by Greek HEIs in a period of economic downturn. This is the first research study in the field of TQM in higher education that has been carried out in Greece in a period where many service organisations, whether private or public, are making significant efforts to withstand the current downturn and achieve a sustainable growth.

This article discusses the problems associated with the effectiveness of standardization and determination of all types of work of the teaching staff. The problem in this case lies not only in determining the optimal amount of funding for the university, but also in the search for approaches to its justification. Moreover, the literacy of these decisions directly affects the innovative development of higher education institutions and the calculation of salaries of faculty members. The influence of this factor on the payroll calculation of teaching staff, as well as the optimization of this process, is shown. The calculation of wages is influenced by a lot of factors that must be considered. Work on improving the system of standardization of the teaching load of a teacher should continue and develop.

Real Challenge

The global online transition has become a real challenge to the traditional form of education, which has prompted universities to reconsider the system of providing education services. The authors conducted a sociological study based on the investigation of the relationships of the academic teaching staff, their assessment of the effectiveness of the measures taken by the universities in organizing the transition to a distance learning (DL) format of education. Lecturers of regional universities of Russia, Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia took part in the study. The results of the study made it possible to identify the most organized and optimistic category of lecturers of Mongolian universities and focused attention on the main problems in the implementation of DL at all universities. The normalization of the epidemiological situation in the future, the restoration of the economic level of development of each country will enable the universities to define their approaches to the use of distance learning technologies (DLT) and their role in the traditional face-to-face education system in accordance with the needs of the students and the peculiarities of social life.

Cтаттю присвячено аналізу європейської освітньої політики щодо забезпечення якості підготовки здобувачів наукових ступенів, еквівалентних PhD. Метою дослідження сталотеоретичне обґрунтуван-ня основних тенденцій інноваційного розвитку докторської освіти у Європейському просторі вищої освіти на сучасному етапі.Методологія проведеного дослідження ґрунтується на системному підході до аналізу освітньої полі-тики, що унормовує підготовку здобувачів наукових ступенів, еквівалентних PhD, у Європейському просторі вищої освіти. До методологічних принципів, дотримання яких передбачене дослідженням, віднесено: об’єктивності, комплексності, розкриття суперечностей предмета, що вивчається, міждис-циплінарності, культуровідповідності. Серед теоретичних та емпіричних методів дослідження прева-люють такі як: аналіз, синтез, моделювання, порівняння, узагальнення окремих положень наукових підходів для обґрунтування провідної ідеї дослідження, спостереження за освітнім процесом, кон-тент-аналіз, статистичний аналіз.За результатами проведеного дослідження з’ясовано, що освітня політика у Європейському просто-рі вищої освіти та Європейському дослідницькому просторі вибудовується навколо пріоритетів якості і у дослідженнях молодих дослідників, і у викладанні. Серед ключових тенденцій інноваційної підго-товки здобувачів наукових ступенів, еквівалентних PhD, виокремлено такі як: гнучка інституалізація організаційних структур вищої освіти рівня PhD; пріоритетність дослідницького складника у підго-товці здобувачів наукових ступенів; інноваційність практик наукового керівництва; кар’єрне зростання та мобільність молодих дослідників як стратегічні завдання докторської освіти; диверсифікація траєк-торій фінансової підтримки досліджень здобувачів наукових ступенів.На етапі наближення вітчизняної освітньої політики до європейських стандартів важливо врахо-вувати виявлені тенденції розвитку докторської освіти (восьмий рівень Національної рамки кваліфі-кацій) та ключові індикатори оцінки її якості, які найчастіше практикуються у закладах вищої освіти у ЄС: наукові публікації здобувачів наукових ступенів, еквівалентних PhD, прогрес у написанні науко-вої кваліфікаційної праці, кваліфікаційний рівень професорсько-викладацького складу тощо.Ключові слова:док торська освіта, освітня політика, тенденції підготовки здобувачів наукових ступенів, Європейський простір вищої освіти, Рада з докторської освіти Асоціації європейських університетів.

The Impact

Universities play a crucial role in local economies, providing educational services and participating in research and development. This is particularly important for Russia where regions are highly differentiated in terms of both socio-economic development and technological progress and innovations. However, many regional universities in Russia have traditionally focused primarily on teaching, with less emphasis on research activities. In this paper, we aim to deepen the understanding of the impact of scientific activities of universities on regional economic and innovative development. For this purpose, we estimate different specifications of a fixed-effects model using panel data from Russian regions for 2010–2016. We aggregate the number of universities’ publications per researcher at the sub-national level to incorporate regional scientific activity in our model. Considering other important socio-economic characteristics of regions, we revealed that the association between the publication activity of universities and innovative development of the region remains significant, while the relationship between economic development of the region and the scientific activity of universities disappeared completely. A number of robustness checks demonstrated that statistically significant results remain only when the relative number of publications indexed in international citation databases (Scopus and Web of Science) is used as an explanatory variable. Simultaneously, the publications indexed in specific Russian lists and databases as well as publications in regional scientific organisations that are not universities do not contribute to innovative development of the region. The results can be used for planning the funding of research activities in universities and setting performance targets for universities.
