Abstract
With poorly trained staff, persistently dogged behavior and
obsolete organizational structure, official business in the public
sector universities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are governed in an
orthodox fashion. Over the years, management of human
resources in these organizations has not received the desired
level of attention. Literature is replete with studies in the HR
domain with a focus on the corporate sector. However, limited
research can be found addressing HR in the public sector
universities. This empirical study investigates how the HR
system is designed and functioning in the public sector
universities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This study is aimed at
looking into the prevailing HR system with a prime focus on five
major themes including HR system, structure and capacity,
recruitment and selection, training and development,
performance appraisal and promotion and career development
in the five selected universities. The study identified a number of
loopholes in the HR system in these universities. Major factors
responsible for the loopholes have been identified. The study will
help academia, policymakers and practitioners to restructure
their HR system in line with global HR best practices to meet
emerging challenges of the contemporary academic world and
fulfill growing expectations of the stakeholders.
