The Connotation of Performance Management in Universities:Practical Misunderstandings and Rectification Paths
Performance management in universities is an"imported product"which originates from the public management de-partment,and therefore has an inevitable connection with the new public management theory and Taylor's scientific management theory.In recent years,the performance management model with performance evaluation as the core has become popular in the field of higher education in China.For a certain period,this performance management model has played a positive role in the de-velopment of higher education in China,helping many universities to achieve rapid growth in a short period of time.But as time goes by,the problem gradually appeared.Although this is related to the performance management model itself,it mainly lies in people's insufficient understanding or deviations in practice.This lack of understanding and deviations in practice are mainly re-flected in the understanding of the connotation of performance management,the path and method of implementation,and the use of results.By reflecting on the problems of performance management in practice in universities,this paper puts forward a rectifi-cation path,which helps universities to correctly grasp the connotation and essence of performance management,thereby playing a positive role in improving the governance system and governance capacity of universities.
