Trang 10Chapter I INTRODUCTION
There are 14 coastal provinces in the central region of Vietnam, running from Thanh Hoa to Binh Thuan Province1 The total area of this region is 90.790 km2, accounting for 28%
of the total natural area of the country The central region is bordered in the North by the Red River Delta and the Northern mountainous areas, in the South by the Southern region, in the East by the East Sea, and in the West by the Central Highland The Central region of Vietnam
is surrounded by ranges of mountains, running from the West to the coastal line in the East This region has very extreme weather conditions However, it is very rich in natural resources With a coast line of around 1,000 km, it has great potential for marine economic development This central region has many beautiful landscapes which are well-known in the country Social conditions: This region has a population of 18,994,709 people, accounting for 21.7% of the population of the country Economic conditions: Economic growth of this central region is still slow Education and training: People in this region are known to be studious There are many cultural celebrities and heroes in the protection, and development of the country Tertiary education: There are two regional universities, including Hue University and Danang University In addition, there are several other universities under the management of the ministries There have also been 8 local universities formed under the management of the provincial authorities since 1997 in the central region This accounts for 8/22 universities in the country2
In the 21st century, education and training in general and tertiary education in particular
Trang 11education in Vietnam nowadays plays an important role The Resolution N0: 14/2005/NQ-CP confirms that3: "Reform of higher education is the cause of the people under the leadership of
the Party and the State's management The State increases investment in higher education, and to promote socialization, creating favorable conditions in policies for organizations, individuals and the whole society to participate in the development of higher education”4 During the past few years, higher education in Vitnam has been developing in terms of both quantity and training scale Since 1997, the education system in Vietnam has established local universities to meet the demands of human resources for the localities alongside national universities, regional universities and universities under the management of ministries
In the process of formation and development, besides the advantages, local universities are facing many challenges, especially in human resource management To basically and comprehensively renovate the Vietnam education in the period 2011-2020, it is necessary and urgent to conduct a study and to propose appropriate and effective solutions HRM of local
universities since it will make a decision upon the existence and development of these universities at the current time Thus, I choose the topic this study “Management of Human Resources at the local Universities of central region of Vietnam: reality and solutions”
Background of the study
After 25 years of renovation and 10 years implementation of the 2001-2010 Education Development Strategy, tertiary education of Vietnam has developed significantly in terms of the scales, the varieties of universities, and the training forms Social resources have been mobilized more and more and have had great achievements, providing labor forces for the
Trang 12Formation of local universities is based on the demands for socio-economic development, especially the needs for training human resources for the localities and the region
During the past few years, local universities in particular and higher education in Vietnam in general have got many favourable conditions and have gained many achievements
as evaluated in the 2011-2020 Education Development Strategy
In addition to the advantages mentioned, there are still many disadvantages and weakness in the education of Vietnam: the national education system is not consistant; quality
of education is still very low as compared to the demands for development of the country in this new period and the education level of the countries which have well-developed education system in the region and in the world; The relation between growth in number and enhanced quality has not been clarified; The professional skills of the graduates do not meet the requirements of workplaces; there are signs of misled behaviour and lifestyle of parts of students; there are still inadequate points in education management Education management is still subsidised, duplicated and fragmented; professional responsibility and authority donot go together with the financial and human resource management responsibility and authority Legal system and education policies are not consistent They are not amended and modified in the timely manner Policies for mobilisation and allocation of resources for education are not relevant; resources are not used efficiently Investment of the Government in education does not concentrate on priority objectives; expenditure on professional activities is still low There are not sufficient and practical regulations on the self-reliance and social responsibilities of
Trang 13education managers who show their lack of responsibility and dedication to their profession They violate the moral values and lifestyles of teachers, which has negative impacts upon the reputation of teachers in the society Capacity of parts of teachers and education managers is low Policies for teachers and education managers, especially those related to salaries and allowances are not adequate and do not encourage talented people to work in education In
addition, the policies have not given a driving force for teachers and managers to strive in their professional activities Training and retraining of teachers do not meet the requirements
of education ronovation
Thus, during the past ten years, education of our country has gained many achievements, contributing significantly to improved intellectual standards of people, human resources development, talent fostering, and security ensuring This facilitates the country in the world integration process Education in Vietnam in general and especially of local universities need to take careful, thorough and serious consideration in order to have adequate and effective solutions Management in general and HRM

The author wishes to contribute to the development of local universities in Central Vietnam
Human Resources in Education: This indicates human resources in education In
universities, human resources include managers, teachers and administrative staff
Policy: is a set of policy guidelines, the incentives depends on the object in order to
achieve the policy goals of the policy holder
Trang 16Human Resources Management: The design and implementation of policies and
activities to make the field for people to contribute the most effective value for the
organization; namely Recruitment and Selection, training and development, and retention;
including areas such as human resource planning, analysis and design work, recruiting and
selection, performance evaluation, training and development, compensation, health and safety
personnel, and labor relation,
Local Universities: are public universities which provide multi-level and multi-sectoral
trainings; these universities are under the management of the provincial people’s committees and under the state and professional management of the Ministry of Education and Training
A manager is a person who is responsible for allocating manpower and other resources
and directing the operation of one part or the whole of an institution so that the institution
operates effectively and achieves its objectives According to “management level”, managers include top level and intermediate managers
Intermediate managers: Intermediate managers are people who receive large scale and
comprehensive policies and strategies from top (senior) managers and turn them into specific
and separate objectives and plans for their staff to implement
Top/senior managers: Top managers are people who are responsible for giving
instructions and directions for operation of the whole organization Top managers need to
prepare and identify objectives, policies and strategies for their institutions The objectives set
by top managers in the hierarchical order in the institution need to be transferred to each
member Top managers usually represent the organization in community activities such as
Trang 17In public universities5, top managers are chairpersons of the university board, rectors and vice-rectors; Intermediate managers are heads and deputy-heads of the departments.; other people do not keep management positions such as lecturers, administration staff
Trang 18Chapter II REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This Chapter presents the theoretical background on human resources management (HRM) in general and at local universities in particular and other related issues In addition, some diagrams and definitions of related concepts will be given to help readers have a better understanding of the concerned issues
Management /Governance:
According to Gallagher (2002:2), “governance is the framework of relationships which bring about the aggregation, policy entrustment, planning and decision making, taking responsibility to the university, community, and learners for the confidence, compatibility and effectiveness of management fee; planning of policies and making decision on big investments.”
On the other hand,
- According to Mary Parker Follett: Management is the art of achieving goals through others
- Koontz and O 'Donnel: Management through its tasks means that "designing and maintaining an environment in which individuals work together in groups in order to complete the defined mission and goals.”
- James Stoner and Stephen Robbin: Management is the process of planning, organizing, leading and controlling the activities of the members of the organization and using all the resources of the organization in order to achieve the goals proposed
Trang 19the organisation Manager is also supported by the followers who will report and help the
managers with relevant task (Huselid, 1995)
- Dessler (2009) states that manager confronts the managing function through 4
perspectives namely planning, organizing, leading, and controlling It is also determined as
the managing process that is often conducted and carried by the managers of the
organisation
Currently for public universities in Vietnam, the concept of governance (governance)
can be understood as management (management)
Manpower/Human resources:
Depending upon the context, the concept manpower is sometimes used in place of
human resources or workforce of an institution
Manpower means specific persons who undertake a position or a place in an office or
institution The concept human resource is often used to describe people (members) who are
working in an institution
Manpower resources/Human resources (HR):
According to the United Nations: “Human resources include all knowledge, skills, experiences, capacity, and creativeness of human which are related to the development of
each individual and of the country.”
According to the World Bank: ” HR are all human possessions, including physical
strength, intellectual power, professional skills, etc… of each individual”
Staffing/HR: refers to the process of recruiting and evaluating performance of the
Trang 20Since the mid- 1980’s Human Resource Management has gained acceptance in both academic and commercial circles HRM is a multidisciplinary organizational function that
draws theories and ideas from various fields such as management, psychology, sociology
and economics
There are countless definitions of what HRM is or should be and there is not one
definition that can define what HRM exactly is
There is no “best way” to manage people and no manager has formulated how people can be best managed because managing people is not a straightforward thing People are
complex beings that have complex needs Effective HRM very much depends on the causes
and conditions that an organisational setting would provide
Although the nature of people at work and their complexities make their management
a difficult task, it provides a unique opportunity for academic (e.g universities) and
professional bodies to investigate HR related issues and continuously aim to develop HRM
practices and improve the way human resources are managed in organisations
Human Resources in education:
Are the resources in education In universities, human resources include managers,
lecturers, and administration staff
A Managers: Is an individual who is in charge of a certain group of tasks, or a certain
subset of a Organisation A manager often has a staff of people who report to him or her
Lecturers and administrators staff: Healthfield (2012) defined Lecturers and
administrators staff play critical roles in transferring learning context to those who were
Trang 21studies considered human resource training satisfaction (Zumrah, 2012) Noe and Schmitt
(1986) found transfer of training was significantly related to educator performance
improvement including their fiscal management and relationships with the community
Governance/Management of Human Resources:
Is the management of people within an institution and bringing people into an
institution to help them do the work, paying them for their work, and addressing emerging
issues More specifically, it includes all activities of an institution to attract, deliver training,
develop, and maintain a workforce appropriate with the requirements of the institution in
terms of the quantity, quality, and structure (quantity, structure, training level, qualification
and capacity)
According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Governance of human resources
(HRM or HR) is management of workforce of an institution- human resources It involves
attracting, recruiting, training, evaluating, and offering preferential policies to workers In
addition, it supervises the operation, and ensures to comply with labor law
Theo Zorlu Senyucel in Managing the Human Resource in the 21st Century6:
The purpose of HRM is to ensure that the employees of an organization are used in
such a way that the employer obtains the greatest possible benefit from their abilities and the
employees obtain both material and psychological rewards from their work (Graham, 1978)
“HRM is a distinctive approach to employment management which seeks to achieve
competitive advantage through the strategic deployment of a highly committed and capable
workforce, using an array of cultural, structural and personnel techniques.” Storey (1995: 5)
Trang 22“HRM is a strategic approach to managing employment relations which emphasizes that leveraging people’s capabilities is critical to achieving competitive advantage, this being achieved through a distinctive set of integrated employment policies, programmes and
practices.” Bratton and Gold (2007: 7)
In essence, the concept of integrated HRM stated above, we can agree to understand:
"Human resource management policies are designed and implemented operational areas to
make people play most effectively contribute value to the organization, including areas such
as human resource planning, analysis and design tasks, recruiting and selection, performance
evaluation, training and development, remuneration, health and safety personnel, and labor
relation, "
Targets of HRM:
Is laborers as individuals, staff in an institution and issues relating to them such as
work and their rights and responsibilities and those of their employers
Objectives and significance:
The objective of HR in education is to provide schools and education and training
facilities with a pool of staff, teachers, and employees as required and to make the best use of
these staff
Significance of HRM:
As we all know that people form the institution, make it operate, and make a decision
upon its success or failure HR is an inevitable source of an institution As a result, HRM is a
very important area of leaders in an institution On the other hand, all governance activities
Trang 23Figure 1: The HRM framework (adapted from Beer et al 1984: 16) 7
Governance of HR is an integral part of social governance in general and institutional governance in particular
Governance of HR in an institution is actually the treatment of that institution to its employees In other words, governance of HR is to bring people to an institution, helping

Trang 24Origins of HRM
Any management idea that is used to help managers understand the complexities of
people at work is always based on what is already known anv d what has been a success or a
failure due to certain causes and conditions in an organisational context
Just like today’s managers, those in 3000 BC faced resource problems: how to find skilled people for the right tasks, how to make sure people do what they should be doing, how
to keep people going when the times are tough, etc In terms of management challenges not
much has changed However, as our social, cultural, economic and political systems have
changed the way we work and our working conditions also changed tremendously
Only responsibly for getting the job done but also responsible for finding the right people for the right job, getting the job done on time, save costs, liaise with various
stakeholders, develop and retain existing staff, keep staff morale high, increase staff
productivity, etc
In 3000 BC the most important managerial task was to finish the project at all costs; in
21st Century, however, we are trying to create a healthy balance where organisational targets
are achieved and individual needs are met as much as possible
The roots of people management can be traced all the way back to Stonehenge, but
people management as we know it today probably stems from the Institute of Personnel
Management (IPM); established in 1946 main aim of which was to meet the increasing need
for labour and personnel specialists
Between 1950 and 1970 the UK government passed legislations in which employment
Trang 25development In 1970, new legislations promoting employment standards and sexual equality
at work sealed the importance of the personnel management function at work
In the 1980s and 1990s the traditional personnel management function was under heavy criticism both from the academic and commercial institutions It was argued that the
traditional personnel management functions were not adequate and sophisticated enough to cope with the uncertainties of the environment, people and changing nature of work Thus,
Human Resource Management was born out of the debate that a more sophisticated model of people management is needed to cope with these uncertainties, not only on the operational level but also on the strategic level to achieve competitive advantage
Functions of HRM
It includes the response to the changes of the environment to socio-economic and political changes; the continuous changes of labor markets or quality of staff, changes of the law on labor HRM therefore can be divided into three main groups of function as follows:
Recruitment and Selection, Training and Developing and Retention of HRM
Recruitment and Selection of HRM
These are activities which are aimed at ensuring sufficient quantity and quality of managers and staff appropriate with the vision, mission, objectives, and values of the institution Activities consist of:
- Analysis and design of work: This process involves identifying, reviewing and
surveying tasks and responsibilities related to each specific work in order to develop
functions, responsibilities and technical requirements of the work These will be the
Trang 26This group of function is to enhance the capacity of managers and staff in an institution to ensure that they have sufficient qualifications and required skills to fulfill their assigned tasks It also involves facilitating managers and staff in developing their own capacity
One of the solutions to implement this group of functions is to deliver trainings, refresh trainings, and upgrading management knowledge (for managers) and professional knowledge (for all staff)
Trang 27- Maintain and develop good working relationships in order to form the institutional
culture and to create a healthy social atmosphere At the same time, it helps people satisfy with their work This function consists of:
+ Sign labor contracts and establish collective labor agreements;
+ Resolve disputes and discontents at work and address issues relating to labor
discipline;
+ Improve working conditions, healthcare, insurance, and labor safety;
Duties of HRM
Recruitment and Selection: Job Design (JD), Job Analysis, Human Resource
Planning (HRP), Recruitment, Selection, Hiring
Training and Development
Retention: Induction, Performance Evaluation, Compensation Management,
Employee Movements, Welfare Administration, Health and safety Administration, Discipline Administration, Grievance Handling, Labour Relations
Job Design (JD)
JD can be defined as the function of arranging tasks duties and responsibilities in to
an organizational unit of work for the purpose of accomplishing a certain objective
Job Analysis
This includes the systematic analysis of the job and the characteristics of the desired job holders The information collected through a Job Analysis is of two forms; Job Description: Describes the job, its tasks, responsibilities and service conditions of a job Job
Trang 28HRP can be identifies as the strategy forecasting the organizations future requirements for different types of workers, their acquisitions, utilization, improvement, employee cost control, retention and supply to meet these needs
Recruitment
This is the initial attraction and screening of the supply of prospective Human Resources available to fill a given position/s In other words, it is the process of involving the attraction of suitable candidates to vacant positions from both internal and external sources of the organization
Selection
This is a systematic process of selecting the most appropriate and suitable person to a particular job In other words, Selection is choosing an individual to hire from all those who have been recruited/ attracted Application Evaluation: This involves choosing the most appropriate person through evaluating the applications sent by the candidates Interviews: this is to face a meeting with a member/s of the management One of te most commonly used methods of selection but it requires careful planning
Hiring:
This is the process of appointing the person selected for a particular job In this process, letters of appointments will be prepared, employment contracts will be signed and the new employee will be sent in for a probationary period
(Probationary period: the time period where the newly appointed employee will have
to work till he/she is made permanent)
Trang 29Performance Evaluation
This is a regular systematic assessment of an employee’s performance in order to review whether his/her performance matches the expected performance levels Performance
evaluations are an analysis of an employee’s recent successes and failures, personal strengths
and weaknesses, and suitability for promotion or further training It is also the judgment of
an employee’s performance in a job based on considerations other than productivity alone
Compensation Management
The main objective of the function is to develop and maintain a good salaried and
wages system which is reasonable both internally and externally
Factors affecting Salaries and Wages: Cost of living, Supply and demand of labor,
Government requirements (minimum wage rates), Competitor wage scales, Trade Union
influences, Labor productivity
Training and Development
Training is the process by which the employees are taught skills and given the
necessary knowledge to carry out their responsibilities to the required standard In other
words, it is the improvement of the performance to carry out the current job
Development is concerned with the giving the individual necessary knowledge,
skills, attitude and experience to enable an employee to undertake greater and more
demanding roles and responsibilities in the future Development is concerned with the long
term prospects of a career succession plan
Methods of training and development: Apprenticing, On the job training, Off the job
Trang 30This is the re-assignment of an employee to a higher ranked job in terms of responsibility, respect and salaries Promotions are usually based on seniority, competency and merit
Transfers: this is the movement of an employee from one job to another on the same occupational level and at the same level of wage or salary
Lay off: This is the temporary stoppage or suspension of the service of the employee
to various reasons
Welfare Administration
This refers to all the facilities and comforts given to the employee by the employer apart from wages, salaries and incentives (Medical facilities, Canteen facilities, Housing facilities, Transport facilities, Recreation facilities, Loan facilities, Educational facilities)
Health and safety Administration
This is concerned with maintaining required and reasonable levels of professional Health and safety in the job and its environment The organization should ensure the employees physical and mental health The work place should be free of hazards
Discipline Administration
It is important to control the performance and behavior of the employees according to the rules and regulations of the organization For this very reason it is important to develop, implement and maintain an appropriate disciplinary system
Importance of a discipline administration: To reduce conflicts and confusions, To
control the employees in an orderly manner, To ensure employees behavior in accordance
Trang 31A grievance could take place for various reasons: Job related reasons, Work services
related reasons, Employee management related reasons, Service conditions related reasons,
Employee behavior related reasons
Labour Relations
The continues relationship between the labour force and the management Since
labour forces are organized as Trade Unions, it is actually a relationship between Trade union representative and the management However the Government is also an involved as a
third party in order to regulate this relationship by ways of laws
This relationship is also more commonly known as a tri-partite relationship
If in case there is a dispute between the employees and the management, the most
common way of dispute resolution is through negotiations or Collective Bargaining and when the two parties reach to an agreement it’s known as Collective Agreement
Collective Bargaining: this can be identified as the negotiation that takes place
between the management and the Trade unions during a particular time period regarding labour/Industrial issues
Collective Agreement: The agreements which the management and the Trade unions
get into after a collective Bargain
The Philosophy the HR
The study of the administration understands that human philosophy and behavior of
staff management in a very strong influence in the collective atmosphere, the ability to work
of employees and efficient management treatment
