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.
