Abstract

With the development of economy and society, the process of education system reform is deepening, which bring new requirements for the personnel reform of educational institutions. It is necessary to innovate personnel management methods to break down various obstacles that restrict the development of education. Previous studies on personnel management methods in educational institutions mainly focused on individual methods of personnel management or on a certain educational level, and lacked systematic analysis of personnel management methods in educational institutions at all levels. To make up for this gap, this study systematically reviews the evolution of policies related to personnel management methods in Chinese educational institutions, comprehensively analyzes the application of personnel management methods in the personnel management process, thereby discusses the application of personnel management methods in practice. Personnel management in Chinese educational institutions has unique characteristics. The identity of the personnel under management is similar to that of a state official. Also, the personnel management of educational institutions mainly follows the relevant personnel management system of state institutions, and the corresponding personnel management method also needs to be based on the guiding regulations and opinions of the state. Therefore, the analysis of personnel management methods in educational institutions needs to be based on a comprehensive review of the systems and policies related to national personnel management. The content of personnel management in educational institutions mainly involves selection and recruitment, training and professional development, as well as evaluation and remuneration. In the selection and recruitment stage, the state has set up a series of systems at the organizational level around teachers' career progression, including teachers' qualification system, employment system and job appointment system. This means top-level design for teacher professional development. Regarding training and professional development, the state's system and specific training arrangements on pre-service training and in-service training ensure the process of teachers performing their educational and teaching duties, that is, the development process of teacher professionalization, education professionalization, and spiritual professionalization. Regarding evaluation and remuneration, it mainly involves the evaluation and motivation of teaching staff. A scientific and reasonable evaluation mechanism helps faculty and staff to fulfill their job responsibilities with guaranteed quality and quantity. Similarly, the overall arrangement of performancebased wages can effectively motivate faculty members to devote themselves to their core work, such as education and teaching, scientific research and social services. Commonly used personnel management methods in educational institutions include organizational methods, economic methods, and psychosocial methods. These methods are generally used comprehensively in the specific practice of personnel management, such as in the process of high-level talent recruitment, the promotion of the system of specified number of personnel, and practice of principal/teacher rotation communication. It enables organizational goals to be successfully achieved under the combined action of top-down administration and bottom-up conscious participation. Our findings could help faculty managers and researchers understand a systematic approach to personnel management and provide references for the management practices.
