摘要:

AbstractCan university teaching be counted a profession? The work of academics is examined against four criteria associated with professional life: members share a body of knowledge; professional identity is for life; professionals are accountable for the effects of what they do rather than for the actions they take; professional bodies restrict access and enforce codes of practice. The conclusion is that academics form a Janus‐faced profession in which their professionalism is more evident in respect of the subjects they teach than in respect of their academic duties of teaching and examining. Professional training is recommended as the appropriate treatment for this lop‐sided condit

摘要:

AbstractThis paper, drawing on a six‐country study, summarises the pressures to change on organisations and managers in both public and private sectors.

摘要:

AbstractProfessionals have concerns about their freedom and autonomy, particularly when they work within organisations. Managers have corporate goals to achieve and have few sources of power with which to direct the professionals. This paper argues that given a high calibre of managerial leadership it is possible to manage the professionals. The reasons for the tensions between the two groups are examined and related to respective values and cultures. It is argued that in most organisations there is sufficient consonance between the aims of the two groups for a shared vision and shared values to be established once potential leaders have been identified. A point is made about the methods of achieving this.

摘要:

AbstractThe concept of the learning organisation is related to current and emerging practice in staff development, particularly in the Enterprise in Higher Education initiative. We examine the link between organisational development and individual development and argue that the current climate of rapid change makes a strategic and coherent approach particularly necessary. Key issues include the renegotiation of relationships between managers and professionals, the role of corporate strategy and the development of organisational cultures which are tolerant, but purposive. We conclude by describing the characteristics of staff development processes which have the capacity to enhance organisational learning.

摘要:

AbstractThe article shows that a merger of two departments which, in an earlier article, the Head of the merged department had judged very positively, particularly as regards financial viability, in fact did not achieve the objective laid down for it, i.e. that the work of both the merging departments should be maintained. Thus Fielden's verdict, that financial considerations should not be put uppermost in mergers, was confirmed in this instance. Furthermore, as the work of one of the merging departments has been largely discontinued, the university in question effectively sustained a serious financial loss through not being able to reap the benefits of the resource investment made previously in this work.
