In universities, technical staff members are receiving significant attention as crucial personnel for advancing our country's research capabilities as a unified team. However, their presence within university organizations is often fragile, with many aspects such as organizational structure, career paths, and compensation lacking proper development. This paper provides a detailed description of the career paths of technical staff, discussions that have taken place thus far, and the evolution of their organization, including the concept proposed by the National Association of Universities in 1978, the transition issues to a new salary scale, the organization of technical staff, the introduction of a new rank system, and the transformation into national university corporations. Moving forward, it will be necessary to organize various reforms regarding technical staff while considering the historical background that has not been adequately summarized thus far. This will facilitate further discussions on technical staff and promote necessary reforms.
