Global survey finds university staff overworked, underpaid
| February 23, 2018
KUALA LUMPUR: The majority of university staff in the world say they are overworked and underpaid.
They feel their careers have a detrimental impact on their relationships with their friends, families and partners, and that they have thought of changing careers.
These are among the findings of the Times Higher Education’s (THE) first major global survey of university staff’s views on their work-life balance.
A report on the THE website, however, did not say if anyone from Malaysia had participated in the survey.
It said 2,379 higher education staff – of whom 85% were academics and 67% female – had given their their views on their workload and their ability to balance their careers with their personal lives. The survey was carried out between October and November 2017.
It said staff from 56 countries across six continents were represented in the survey, but almost two-thirds of respondents (61%) were from the UK, 17% from the US and 5% from Australia.
Among the main findings are:
Many staff believe they are paid less and have a worse work-life balance than most of their friends;
A large majority of staff have considered leaving the higher education sector;
Many staff say that their job restricts their ability to see their friends and gets in the way of their ability to conduct a successful relationship;
Most university staff with children – especially women – believe that their family life holds back their career to some degree, while many of those who do not intend to have children have made that decision because of their career;
The majority of staff would recommend their job to their children, despite the fact that most academics and a significant proportion of other staff report working well beyond their contracted hours, including during weekends and holidays;
There is a gulf between the views of academics and professional staff in many areas when it comes to work-life balance, with the latter much more content than the former.
The report said the workload of people who work at universities appeared to be on the rise,with about two-fifths of all university staff saying they had been working longer hours during the working week over the past three years.
The highest proportion of academic respondents work nine hours per weekday; this falls to eight hours for professional and support staff. Academics are twice as likely as professional staff to work 10 or more hours per weekday; 40% of scholars said they did so, compared with 20% of non-academics.
Meanwhile, 31% of scholars and 27% of administrators typically work on both days over the weekend. Nearly half of academics typically work one day at the weekend (49%), compared with just over a third of professionals (37%). Two-fifths of scholars (40%) tend to work six or more hours over the weekend; just 15% of professional staff do so.
The THE report said a sense of an unmanageable workload was often blamed for raising stress and anxiety levels, especially among academics.
More than two-fifths (43%) of female academics who have children said parenthood held back their career “significantly” or “a great deal”. In contrast only 25% of male academics said this was so.
The majority of respondents to the survey – 56% of academics and 60% of professionals – currently do not have children. The report said this might partly reflect the fact that 57% of academic respondents and 56% of non-academic respondents were under the age of 40.
An overwhelming majority of university staff have considered working in a different sector, with 85% of both academic and professional staff saying they thought about this at least occasionally. |

Area melaka... Time xde klas boleh kluar jln2.. Kerja2 boleh bawa balik rumah...memang relaks lah.
Lepas tu ada sepupu ni pun sama...kje pensyarah...boleh suka hati balik...sambil tu meniaga jual brg lain...senang hidup dr kje cikgu sekolah.
Tuh aku pelik baca artikel forum ni..yg busy ni mungkin yang dah professor lah kut...kalu lecturer perubatan aku percaya...nk kejar kelas, nak kejar pesakit lagi. |

pilihanraya nak dekat.
mmg ada unibesiti yg dah start bayar gaji staf dgn duit rizab sendiri sejak bulan lepas sbb duit gaji dari federal dah mula disekat.
paling2 nazak rizab unibesiti hanya bleh bertahan sapai bulan 3 je.
kalu federal masih taknak serah duit gaji bulan febuari nih kompom bulan april ramai staf terpaksa 'cuti umum'
studen pon terpaksa 'dicutikan' sehingga diberitau. |

Article ni rasanya reflect juga situasi malaysia. Kesian aku tengok akak aku. Selalu kene korban bawak keje ke rumah. So celah mana pensyarah lepak pulak kalau asyik kene kejar KPI. Dah jadi macam skim pyramid dah keje pensyarah ni. Kementerian tekan VC. VC tekan Dekan. Dekan tekan pensyarah. Pensyarah akhirnya terpaksa tekan student. Ada certain university kalau kita x publish, takde kenaikan gaji tahunan.regardless berapa banyak keje admin department ko buat...berapa banyak kelas ko kene ngajar. Dah x automatic macam dulu. |

Union pensyarah berkutik puntidak
Sebab tu skala gaji tak berubah |

pensyarah ni bergantung pada kpi. Cuba tanya berapa dia dapat, entah2 10% je. Kawan aku prof madya hasil kerja keras zaman muda2 dia dulu, tapi sekarang dah tua, nak mengajar dan supervise projek je, dah penat nak terkejar2 buat research, consultant dan lain2 tu. KPI dia tahun lepas 13 % je, untuk pengajaran dan benda2 related to student-lecturer. Tapi sebab dia pensyarah yang disayangi pelajar dan selalu dapat markah tinggi masa penilaian pelajar, univ memang nak simpan dia.
