Case study
17. In a leading university, the average qualification of its employees is any U.G. degree. Most of the non-teaching staff have P.G./Ph.D. qualifications. As a result, highly qualified non-teaching staff feel that they too are qualified to teach P.G. Programmes in their respective specialisations. As per the requirements for teaching positions, most of them are fully qualified to compare for teaching positions. But, when they appear for interview, very rarely they are selected for teaching positions. This creates a kind of demotivation among such employees.
Analyse the case critically and suggest suitable solution to the university.
