Trang Ha Thi Thu — 2025-07-07

This article inherits and develops Schuler’s 5P model (1992), combined with other classic human resource management theories such as the Harvard model (Beer, Spector, Lawrence, Mills, & Walton, 1984), the AMO model (Appelbaum et al., 2000) and specific legal factors of the Vietnamese education system, thereby proposing a comprehensive research model with specific elements and criteria synthesized and selected from previous studies and criteria proposed by the author himself. The study uses qualitative research methods, analyzes scientific documents, legal policies, and management practices from universities to build a lecturer management model consisting of 05 main components: (i) Management philosophy, (ii) Management policy, (iii) Management program, (iv) Management organization, and (v) Management process. Clear evaluation indicators specify each component. The research results have practical significance for policymakers, school leaders, and researchers in assessing the current situation, shaping strategies, and designing human resource management solutions that meet the requirements of innovation and integration. In the future, this model can be further tested and refined through empirical studies, thereby contributing to the professionalization of academic personnel management at higher education institutions in Vietnam.
