“…The HEI-Community Partnership Performance Index (HCPPI) is being designed as a quickassessment tool that can easily be completed by both the HEI and community entities of a given partnership to assess the performance of their collaboration. This mechanism makes the performance assessment conceptual framework by Plummer et al (2020) operational and thereby provides a means to enhance accountability and transparency in HEIs (e.g., Hazelkorn, 2018;Ramirez & Tejada, 2018), specifically in terms of community relationships. Employing the HCPPI to monitor the performance of a variety of HEI-Community partnerships is a logical next step.…”

Higher education institutions are expected to account for their performance and this increasingly includes strengthening community relationships. However, assessment of Higher education institution (HEI)-Community partnerships is nascent. In this study we seek to discern the situation of these partnerships and examine accountability for performance in Canada, thereby advancing understanding about this international phenomenon. A search of Canadian HEIs was carried out to identify those with an explicit mandate relating to community relationships and an initial questionnaire was distributed to their offices. Results afford insights into the present state of HEI-Community partnerships in Canada. A second questionnaire, distributed to individuals within the HEIs as well as community partners, examined how best to assess the performance of HEI-Community partnerships. Indicators and measures associated with a three-fold framework (inputs, processes, outcomes) were validated, offering important and timely advancements to HEIs in the era of accountability and performance-based funding.

PurposeImproving and assuring the quality of higher education has become a key element of policy agendas worldwide. To this end, a complete accountability system has been developed through various evaluation procedures. Specifically, this study analyzes the perceptions of university teaching staff on the impact of performance appraisal systems on their professional activity, health and personal lives.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopted a nonexperimental descriptive and causal-comparative design using a questionnaire that was completed by a sample of 2,183 Spanish teachers. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics and comparisons of differences.FindingsThe results show that, according to teachers, the evaluation criteria undermine the quality of their work by encouraging them to neglect teaching, increase scientific production and engage in unethical research practices. Their views also emphasize the social and health-related consequences of an increasingly competitive work climate, including increased stress levels. Finally, significant differences are observed regarding gender, professional category and academic discipline, with women, junior faculty and social sciences teachers expressing particularly strong views.Originality/valueThe originality of this study lies in the application of a method that contributes to the international debate through a national perspective (Spain) that has so far received little attention.
