Abstract

This study examines the potential for voluntary development of administrative staff in Japanese universities. The legal status of national universities changed from national government operated to university corporation operated in 2004. Since then, each national university corporation has been responsible for its own management and they have been compelled to more efficiently use their teaching and administrative manpower to address this challenge. The universities began conducting staff development as part of this effort, but each university’s staff development depended on the size of the staff and budget. This study found the following results. 1. Job aptitudes are difficult to assess because administrative staff often apply diverse aptitudes. 2. Seminars and workshops are popular staff development activities in many universities, but they do not meet individual staff members’ needs because these may be diverse and personal. 3. It is necessary and useful for universities to offer their staff various types of training. Some universities have adopted voluntary staff development, wherein the staff, not the personnel division, determine the training contents and methods.
