The Impact of HEIs Policies on the Quality of Education: The Mediating Role of Faculty Motivation

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework that shows succession planning, culture of sharing and a 360 degree feedback at the core of educational institute policies and their impact over faculty motivation and the quality of education by monitoring the students’ satisfaction level in the classroom environment. Mediating role of motivated faculty has a great influence over student learning. Extensive review of the literature indicates that a faculty backed by empowering working conditions, colleague support, performance- based rewards and constructive feedback from the immediate work group is highly motivated. The motivated faculty will be more involved with the students for productive and satisfied class room environment. John Keller’s ARCS theory of motivation is used for promoting and sustaining motivation in the learning process and the strategies will help faculty to stimulate or maintain each motivational element in the classroom to deliver academic excellence and consequently achieve a high satisfaction level in students that will ultimately become a source of competitive advantage for organization.
