Administrative Practices and Faculty Performance: A Case study of Higher Education Institutes of Balochistan

Abstract

The importance of educational institutes is recognized globally for the development of any country. Faculty members are the direct human resource of any educational institute directly involved in reshaping the students. This study aims to determine the administrative practices directly associated with the faculty members at higher education institutes in Balochistan. Furthermore, this study will also investigate how these practices will contribute to their performance by the mediating role of job satisfaction. Primary data was collected from the 275 faculty members of Baluchistan’s overall higher education institutes by convenience sampling. The finding of this study shows that all three independent variables, training and development, compensation and benefits and working conditions in higher education institutes, were satisfactory. Then this will lead to the faculty member's job satisfaction, and ultimately, their performance will be increased due to job satisfaction. The findings of this study will help the universities and the higher education commission of Pakistan to improve the performance of the faculty members by taking corrective measures in administrative practices.
