The classified management system of university teachers mainly refers to a series of rules and regulations formulated by the state and universities in the aspects of classified appointment, classified personnel flow, classified mid-career studies, classified salary, classified assessment, classified demission, in order to strengthen the construction of teacher team and fuel teachers’ enthusiasm for work. Since the founding of the PRC, classified employment has changed from “person” to “post”; classified personnel flow from “planned placement and transfer” to “market guidance”; classified mid-career studies from “acquisition type” to “development type”; classified salary from “status attribute” to “performance attribute”; classified assessment from “single-standard” to “multi-criteria”; classified demission from “administrative decision” to “contract management.” Classified management system in the new era should generally optimize the system of rules and regulations. Direction for future development includes integrating university teacher professional development with university teacher human resources development through classified management of university teachers; coordinating university teacher classified management with classified development of universities; paying equal attention to the development of university teacher team and management team.
