Introduction. The important factors affecting health and performance of young people are the conditions of education, in particular, a comfortable microclimate in the classrooms of higher educational institutions. Materials and methods. In view of the urgency of this problem, an analysis was made of the microclimate parameters of educational organizations of different profiles (Ufa city, the Republic of Bashkortostan). 294 classrooms were studied in 22 buildings of 4 leading universities in Ufa. A total of 3,822 measurements were taken to determine the parameters of the microclimate. The analysis of ionizing radiation in the aerial environment of classrooms. There was performed determination of radon and its affiliated products content. In order to assess the conditions and lifestyle of students of 4 higher educational institutions of the city of Ufa, we conducted an anonymous survey of 1,820 students of I and IV years of education. Results. The average temperature in the classrooms of all universities studied was 23.9±0.09 C. The average relative humidity in all classrooms was 34.2 ± 0.42%. Analysis of ionizing radiation (radon and its daughter products decay) in the aerial environment of the classrooms and sports halls located in the basement determined that the average annual equivalent equilibrium volumetric activity of the radon daughter products (EROA ± Δ222Rn) ranged from 28 ± 14 to 69 ± 34.5 meter, which meets the requirements established by SanPiN. Conclusion. The hygienic assessment of the microclimate parameters of educational institutions of various profile revealed a number of deviations from the regulated norms. The results indicate the need to control the parameters of the microclimate, both from the administration of universities, and from the professors. According to the results of the study, recommendations were prepared for the management of higher educational institutions in Ufa.

Practical Implications

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the competence, performance, and trainability of older workers of higher educational institutions in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach – Survey methods were used in this study. The survey measures were adopted from Rothwell (2002) and Sarmiento et al. (2007) for performance and competence, respectively, while trainability measurements were adopted from Maurer et al. (2008). The sample of 325 respondents consisted older workers in the higher education sector aged between 55 and 60 years old. Findings – Based on the assessments made by the older workers themselves and their superiors, it is found that the older workers are competent, performing well, and are trainable. The administrative older staff, however, were rated lower by the superior as compared to the academic older staff. This may be due to the fact that most of the assessors are academicians. Regardless of the category of the staff, performance of older workers is positively related to their competence and trainability. Research limitations/implications – Competence and trainability are important factors as they are found related to performance. This study focuses on education sector. It would be interesting to include older workers from other sectors because the education sector is perceived to be less physically demanding. Practical implications – This study provides valuable insights into considering of revising the retirement age of academician in higher education sector even higher. Age seems to be an advantage to this group of employees. Originality/value – This study is unique and significant because it focuses on important sector, i.e. higher education. It would reduce the knowledge gap in performance management of older workers especially in higher education sector.

Quality In Higher Education

Globalization, with its attendant competitiveness in almost all human endeavours, has brought in its wake a renewed surge for quality in higher education. The searchlights have been thrown on, not only on the traditional areas such as the quality of lecture rooms, Lecturers, Libraries and performance of students, but on such other things like the quality of academic leadership as the driving force that greases the clogged wheels of higher educational institutions towards attaining the visions and missions of most institutions.  The picture gradually emerging is one where the quality of academic leadership largely determines what will come on the academic agenda for pursuing relevance, access, affordability, equity, efficiency and economy in the 21st Century.  This work seeks to explore the management dimensions of pursuing excellence as a strategic objective through building partnerships with major stakeholders rather than the use of high – handedness. Besides observations, the study relied on literature review. The era of the visionary and motivational leadership appears to be the key for higher educational institutions which seek to stand up to competition in the global arena. The social and political ends of higher education call for not just exemplary leadership, but also human-centred results-oriented approaches to sustainable tertiary institutions of excellence.

The excessive attention on performance evaluation in tertiary education in current times should be viewed in consonance with globalization. Globalization has had a complete makeover effect on advanced academic establishments as a consequence of its widening, deepening and speeding up of worldwide connectedness. Performance is in essence the amount of effort a worker puts in to help an establishment achieve its targets. A comparative analysis of the resemblances and variations in PM practices were highlighted to ascertain best practices in academic institutions. The study aims at ascertaining performance management (PM) practices as well as excellent performance indicators in public higher educational institutions (HEIs) of Ghana. The study takes the form of a case study where the University of Cape Coast (UCC) in the Central region and the Takoradi Technical University (TTU) in the Western region were selected as units of analysis. Using the simple random technique, 141 respondents were selected from the total population of 173 using the Yamane (1967) formula. Data was analyzed using a quantitative approach. Setting performance objectives, setting performance standards and setting performance targets were the variables studied for performance Management practices. Conformity to standards and service quality were the variables studied for excellent performance indicators. The findings of the study reveal that most of the respondents confirm to the observant of performance practices as well as excellent performance indicators in their institutions

Past empirical researches have shown concern regarding the importance of creation of knowledge among green human resources management (GHRM) practices and employees’ green behavior (EGB). The main objective of current research is to investigate environmental knowledge (EK) as a mediator among GHRM practices and green behavior of Thai public sector higher educational institutions lecturers. The crosssectional research determines the process through which GHRM practices affect the EGB in Thai public sector higher educational institutions by the mediating role of EK. In this research, GHRM practices involves green recruitment and selection, green training, green pay and rewards, green involvement and participation and green performance management and EGB is assessed through environmental management system. In order to evaluate the relationship from 375 useable responses, partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique was used. The results of this research indicate that EK has a full mediating effect on GHRM practices and GEB. The results provided theoretical contributions in the form of AMO theory.
