Abstract

The quality of universities
normally depends on their exelence and performance of academicians.
Academicians normally teach efficiently besides giving full commitment to their
respective institution. Academics are requested to perform better by fulfilling
a series of requirements by the universities. For instance, if academics are
not satisfied, they may not be committed to deliver the best. In addition,
there is a possibility that their perfprmance may not achieve the target. These
research aims to determine academics performance, specifically the academicians
in Malaysian Public Universities, since the past few years, the rapid growth in
number of universities in Malaysia has driven management to set a more
ambitisious gole. Academics are requested to have a better performance by
fulfilling a series of requirements such as actively involved in journal
publishing. This is in-line with Malaysia quest that is to be a leading
education hub in the Asia region. However, it has been established that
academics remain committed to their chosen vocation and continuously
demonstrate commitment to their students despite undertaking increasing
workloads, administrative duties and conducting researches. The significance of
this study is to contribute benefits to various parties whether the university,
public universities and the State. Results from the study are expected to
contribute towards the development of knowledge, especially in the feld of
human resources development in order to enhance the commitment of the academic staff at public universities nationwide. The findings of this study
could also assist public universities in gaming loyalty among academics who
then contribute to obtaining a high-class standard of education in the Asia
Pasific Region.
