This study attempted to compare the management practices in public and private
universities in Khyber Pakhtunkhawa, Pakistan. The comparison is based on
availability of written rules and regulations, distribution of tasks, availability of
managers, access to officers, time management, work load, staff promotion procedure
and appraisal system. Additionally, the comparison is also based on transparency,
political intervention, use of authorities, nepotism and biasness, human resource
availability and functions, academic decisions, existence of different decision
making bodies, committees and their role in policy making and implementation
and management styles. The population comprised all recognized universities in
Khyber Pakhtunkhawa and a convenience sampling of six universities included
three from public and three from private sector. The findings showed that both sector
universities had the required offices, staff members and managers. The areas where
private universities were observed weak as compared to public universities were
lack of proper staff vacancy advertisements and induction policies, vague appraisal
system, low salary packages and limited freedom to managers. Public universities
were found unsatisfactory in areas including staff induction on merit based policies
and political intervention, lack of monitoring system and lack of collegiality amongst
university offices. The study recommends that universities in both sectors shouldprepare staff and student manuals for transparency procedures, should improve
the skills and knowledge of its staff/managers by conducting seminars/ workshops/
trainings in collaboration with HEC and other regulatory bodies on regular basis,
and establish public private partnership to improve university management system
in Pakistan.
