Abstract
At the present stage of modernization and development of the higher education system in the Russian Federation, universities are being differentiated with the aim of creating new university types and shaping new strategies for their development and, thus, achieving high efficiency of personnel management and acquiring professional competences. These tasks are of strategic importance. It is a matter of urgency to develop a model for administrative staff remuneration system transformation based on a competitive environment and adapted to the realities of the modern federal university. In this work, basing on the analysis of human resource management mechanisms of universities in Western Europe, the CIS countries, and the Baltic states, the efficiency and motivation improvement model for administrative and managerial personnel is proposed. The model is exemplified by case of the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, which is one of the leading universities of the Russian Federation and a participant of Russian Academic Excellence Project 5-100. The staff incentive scheme and the labor stimulation criteria were formulated according to the proposed model following the “functioning – development” concept, effective contract criteria for administrative and managerial staff in university and respective weights were proposed.
This study is based on a comprehensive approach to the administrative and managerial staff activity analysis, which includes methods of PEST analysis, SWOT analysis, and analytical analysis of data from expert surveys. The correlation analysis of the results was performed using specialized program written in Python.
