Abstract

The workload of university professors is not only an economic indicator of their performance but also one of the major factors influencing the quality and effectiveness of their professional activities. For this reason, we have conducted a survey on the adequacy of the workload of the higher education institution professors. The survey covers 21 professors from 2 state-owned universities. The questionnaire are based on the regulations and performance indicators of the professors. Based on our findings, some 76.2% of professors teach 3–5 types of courses per year and overtime courses are increasing year by year with an average 50%. We conclude that the workload of university professors exceeds the normal amount of hours and makes it impossible for them to conduct research studies which negatively affect the quality of knowledge they render.
