Workplace Universities from the Perspective of Existing Research Findings

Abstract

  This presentation aims to provide guidelines for discussing issues related to human resource systems and job satisfaction by focusing on gender equality, collaborative teaching roles, and work-style reform based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It does so by organizing the findings from existing surveys targeting university staff, referencing three survey reports by the University Management & Policy Studies Center at the Graduate School of Education, University of Tokyo.

  The presentation compiles survey results on topics such as the ease of expressing opinions and suggestions by university staff, the accessibility of taking leave, the trust relationship with faculty, the appropriateness of personnel transfers, the presentation of career models, the current state of staff development and personnel evaluation, the atmosphere of the university, opportunities for participation in decision-making, and the level of communication in the workplace. From these findings, the presentation demonstrates insights that can contribute to the discussions at this symposium.
