A Proposal of an Excellence and a Performance Appraisal Model Dedicated to Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

The current research intends to provide a clear understanding of the process of appraising performance inside institutions. In order to alleviate the obstacles that could prevent the achievement of a valuable performance, appraisal in Higher education institutions in Iraq, the main models of excellence that are highly recognized in other international contexts were considered and in-depth depicted for the purpose of proposing a similar model that could be adapted to the University of Al-Qadisiyah affiliated to the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in Iraq. The axes suggested in the proposed model could support directors and managers of this university, or any other higher education institution, in the fulfilment of a superior performance and excellence.
