An assessment of the relationship between the faculty performance in teaching , scholarly endeavor , and service at Qatar University

Qatar University is the national and major institution of higher education in Qatar. It has undergone several reforms targeting excellence in teaching and research to become one of the leading schools in the Middle East region and beyond. Among the recent reforms, the colleges in the university have developed faculty appraisal systems. Although there are differences among the colleges in regards to faculty appraisal, however, all colleges at the university have three major components in their faculty appraisal system: (i) Teaching, (ii) Scholarly endeavor; and (iii) Service to the university. In order to improve the scholarship at the Qatar University, it is very important that all of these three components should have harmony so that the university can achieve its desired excellence. This study explores the relationship between the three components of the university appraisal system. Two major colleges, Arts and Science, and Business and Economics are chosen for this study. A conceptual model is developed to study the relationship among these three components of faculty appraisal system which uses Structural Equation modeling approach. The conceptual model is tested using a random sample collected from the Academic Evaluation Office at Qatar University. The results indicate the presence of a significant positive relation between the faculty Teaching and Service performances. In addition, there is no support to establish significant relationship between the Scholarly endeavor with either of teaching or service performance.
