Abstract

This study handles the topic of promotions, in accordance with the open and controlled system for the vacant posts of the non-academic staff of the University of Khartoum. This is based on the consideration that this system is a basic scientific approach for resolving the promotion problems. The applied system of promotion in the University, also, is not based on the scientific approach, the regulations and the laws. The axial issue of the study; is as follows: What is the system applied by the University, in promotions? Why it is not restricted to the vacant post? The topic is, then, handled on the light of certain hypotheses; such as, the non-existence of organizational structures, jobs which include job description and jobs titles. Evermore, the present system of promotions does not transfer the promoted person to higher tasks and responsibilities. Promotions; meanwhile, accompany and are linked to training in accordance with the applied rules in the University. The study adopted the descriptive – analytic approach. It benefited from the primary sources; such as, the questionnaire, the interviews with the specialists, the focus group discussions and telephone contacts. As for the secondary sources, these are represented by the various references, scientific papers which dealt with the topic of the study, official sources of reports and statistics and records from the various Departments of the University. The study is included in three chapters. Chapter one dealt with the concept of promotion. Chapter two covered the Organization structure and the system of administration in the University of Khartoum. It exposed the present systems of promotions to the academic posts and the non-academic jobs. Chapter three reviewed the collected data, discussion and analysis. The research reached several findings, the most important of which are as follows:- ١- The University of Khartoum adopts the open system of promotions, does not make it a condition that there should be vacant post and that promotion is based upon specific time periods. ٢- There are no job structures which include the job description and job titles. ٣- The job pyramid of the officials is flamboyant and reflected, thus, clear distortion, as the ratio of ٥١٫٨% of the officials are found in the senior posts, as compared to ٤٨٫٢% in the middle and lower jobs. The research presented a number of recommendations; the most important of which are: ١-The Confidential Office of the University Administration must be developed and supporting with the suitable man-power, so as to absorb the tasks of supervising the promotion of the academic-equivalent administrators, the technicians and the laboratory assistants; in addition to its present tasks. ٢-Adherence to the unified bases of the promotion of the non-academic staff and workers, in the higher education institutions, which were approved by the Minister of Higher Education, in١٩٩٦.
