From an Overview of Human Resource Management Research to Research Orientations on Management of Lecturers of Vietnamese Universities

Lecturers constitute the core force in ensuring the quality of education, scientific research, and the development of organizational culture. Therefore, managing the academic staff plays a pivotal role in the strategic development of higher education. However, an overview analysis of existing research on human resource management and faculty management reveals that most current studies approach the topic in a fragmented manner, focusing only on specific aspects without a comprehensive theoretical framework, and inadequately reflecting the profound social transformations impacting universities. From these research gaps, this article proposes three theoretical and practical research directions to address faculty management issues in Vietnamese universities: (1) developing a systemic faculty management model that integrates educational philosophy, policy, procedures, and management technologies; (2) designing a competency framework for lecturers tailored to the specific conditions of each institution; and (3) constructing a set of performance evaluation indicators (KPIs) to improve the efficiency of academic human resource management and development
