Strategic Planning, Human Resource Management Practices, and Quality Assurance in Selected Chinese Universities

Wang Yunlong

Discipline: Human Resources Management

 

Abstract:

This study investigates the complex interrelationships between strategic planning, human resource management practices, and quality assurance in Chinese universities. It examines the profiles of respondents based on demographic variables such as age, gender, highest educational attainment, and length of service. The assessment of strategic planning encompasses leadership and governance, resource allocation and management, academic innovation and quality improvement, and external environment and stakeholder engagement. Furthermore, human resource management practices are evaluated in terms of recruitment and retention, professional development and training, team building and interdisciplinary work, and performance evaluation and incentives. Quality assurance is assessed through the quality assurance framework and policies, monitoring and evaluation, faculty and staff involvement, and student feedback and improvement. The study also tests the significant differences in strategic planning, human resource management practices, and quality assurance according to profile variables, while exploring the relationships among these three dimensions. Findings reveal that strategic planning and effective human resource management practices significantly contribute to quality assurance, ultimately suggesting the need for a comprehensive strategy and quality enhancement program based on the insights gathered.
