Determination of academic pay in universities and colleges in UK under the new pay framework: the policy and practice
Academic pay was uniform across universities and colleges below the level of professors till 2004 in UK. Following the global trend, UK has moved away from the nationally determined scales of pay. Since 2004, the broad Pay Framework Agreement which allows for flexibility in pay based on a flexible structure has been adopted and used by universities in UK. The new framework provides for salary and career progression to attract, retain and motivate staff, rewarding appropriately their knowledge, experience and contribution. The national pay spine consists of 51 points and universities negotiate with local union representatives to establish grading structures for academic staff that map onto the national spine. The 51 pay points comprises of ten overlapping grades with a minimum and maximum for all staff below the level of professors. The study reveals that the individual sample universities selected from pre- and post-1992 universities are now adapting into a decentralised institutional based pay determination mechanisms.
Factores que inciden en los estímulos monetarios no salariales de los profesores de la Universidad de Los Andes
La no reposicion de personal docente es un problema en las universidades publicas venezolanas pues estas no cuentan con recursos para reponer profesores a medida que ellos se jubilan. Ademas el deterioro en las remuneraciones de los profesores implica una desventaja de las universidades frente a otras plazas de trabajo al competir por personal calificado. Para determinar los factores que inciden en los estimulos monetarios no salariales y que reducen el riesgo academico institucional, se formulan modelos mixtos, con correccion por sesgo de seleccion, y se analizo el caso particular de la Universidad de Los Andes. Se incluyen variables demograficas e informacion correspondiente a dichos estimulos. Los resultados indican que el nivel educativo y el numero de primas determinan en gran parte dicho ingreso
