Talent Attraction and Retention

Teacher evaluation and rewards encompass the entire process of assessing staff performance. The evaluation consists of assessments for both teachers and faculty. The "Measures for Evaluation of Teacher Performance and Qualifications" serve as the foundation for teacher evaluation. Each college has the authority to establish evaluation criteria and their respective weights. However, teaching, research, counseling, and service must collectively account for at least 30% of the evaluation. Teachers ranking in the bottom 5% based on evaluation scores will be referred to the university's teacher association for review. A qualification review is deemed successful only if over two-thirds of the teacher association members attend and more than half of the attendees approve. Otherwise, it is considered unsuccessful. Teachers who do not pass the evaluation will receive counseling assistance tailored by each college and must submit their own improvement plans. Teachers who do not pass the evaluation three times consecutively will not be rehired. Additionally, a promotion system is in place within a specified timeframe. The dual-track teacher evaluation mechanism supports the enhancement of teaching, research, counseling, and service quality among faculty and teachers.

To encourage teachers to participate in industry-academia collaboration and special research while enhancing their practical and academic research efforts, the Office of Research and Development offers industry-academic cooperation matchmaking services, as well as intellectual property and technology transfer services. The Innovation & Incubation Centre provides firms located in the center with consulting and advisory services that cover product and technology development, finance, accounting, law, operations management, and marketing.

Teachers with Outstanding Teaching Performance

To enhance the quality of teaching materials, elevate teaching standards, acknowledge educators' commitment, and reward exceptional teachers, MCUT has established "Measures for Selection of Teachers with Outstanding Teaching Performance."

Employee Performance Evaluation

The company utilizes the "Employee Performance Evaluation Procedures" as the standard for assessing employee performance. Annually in June, the Personnel Office will provide the performance evaluation register to supervisors in each department for their review. Following this, the evaluation results will undergo verification and approval. Subsequently, the evaluated employees will be notified of their individual evaluation results. Employees achieving a grade of A in the current year's performance evaluation may be eligible for a one-grade salary increase and a predetermined performance bonus. Those scoring below 75 points will be considered to have failed. Additionally, employees whose performance evaluation results place them in the bottom 3% or below 75 points will receive a notice for performance improvement, subject to verification and approval. In such cases, affected employees are required to create improvement plans and seek guidance from their direct supervisors. Three employees failed in the evaluation conducted in the academic year 2023, and corresponding improvement plans have already been proposed.

Regarding employee promotions and transfers, supervisors will recommend suitable candidates based on the established criteria. They should attach the relevant qualifications and submit their recommendations to the Personnel Office. Following a summary and review of performance evaluations from the past three consecutive years, promotion tests will be scheduled. The top-performing employees will then be evaluated and selected per the Measures for Rewarding Administrative Personnel with Excellent Services. These employees will be eligible to receive a medal and a reward of NT$50,000.

Teachers' Capacity Improvement

To enhance international academic communication, MCUT hosts annual international seminars to share the latest research and findings with distinguished scholars from around the globe.

Over the past three years, MCUT has provided subsidies for a total of 236 individuals to attend overseas seminars, amounting to approximately NT$21.6 million. Furthermore, we have subsidized 612 individuals to attend local seminars, totaling around NT$3.39 million.
