4.1. Substantiation of the study programme

From 1998 till 2004 Riga Teacher Training and Educational Mangement Academy

(further in the text RTTEMA) implemented the professional study programme Office

Manager- Desk Officer, which was accredited in January 2002. At the end of the

accreditation term in 2004 following the recommendations to develop and update the

programme in order to meet the requirements of contemporary market and comparing it

with the corresponding professional standard I came to the conclusion that the programme

Office Manager- Desk Officer is orientated towards two directions of the personnel

management science – work organisation and social management. The programme was

supplemented with study subjects which represent the third direction of personnel

management science– personnel policy and strategy. In comparison with the accreditation

of the previous programme, the title of the new programme was changed from Office Manager- Desk Officer to Personnel Management in 2004; consequently, the aims and

tasks of the programme were changed, too.

However, as reflected in the resolution of the accreditation commission in 2005, while

the title of the programme was changed, the changes in the the contents of the

programme were not sufficient. The programme Personnel Management was not

accredited in 2005 due to several legitimate reasons. After receiving the negative

resolution, RTTEMA students, lecturers and administration have carefully evaluated the

materials of the accreditation commission and worked hard to avert the shortcomings

mentioned in the report of the accreditation commission. (The analyses of the study

programme after receiving the resolution of the accreditation commission and

corresponding programme of action can be found in RTTEMA Division of Management

and Economics).

The programme is implemented in Riga and two RTTEMA study branches in Alūksne

and Cēsis. In the future it can be implemented also in other RTTEMA study branches

according to the demand and the Academy’s facilities, which would ensure more

successful Latvia’s regional development both on the entrepreneurial level and for the

improvement of governmental and municipal work.

9

The programme has been transformed and supplemented considering the Law on

Higher Educational Establishments, Law on Professional Education, Regulations on

Second Level Professional Higher Education Standard (Regulations No.481), Instruction

No.424 issued by the Ministry of Education and Science on September 8, 2003 and

Professional Standard Personnel Manager (Registration No. PS 0204), Regulations on the

Accreditation of Higher Educational Establishments and Study Programmes (Regulations

No. 442), as well as the basic requirements of the Professional Classifier of Latvia. The

total amount of the second level professional higher education programme Personnel

Management is 160 credit points (CP).

The study programme corresponds with the Conception of Riga Teacher Training and

Educational Management Academy on the training of a competent, educated and

professional speciālist. The contents of the study programme encourages the future

specialist to acquire knowledge not only during the study years but also be aware of the

role of lifelong education in the person’s readiness for life activity.

10

comply with the assessment regulations on a 10-point scale designed by LR MOES. Each

21

RTTEMA lecturer works out concrete criteria for the assessment of student achievements,

defines them in concrete assignments in course descriptions and uses in the evaluation

process. The issues of student assessment are reviewed at departmental meetings and

proposals for the improvement of the system are discussed. Student study achievements

are assessed in compliance with RTTEMA requirements – RTTEMA Regulation on

Examinations adopted at the meeting of RTTEMA Senate on January 29, 2001,

Proceedings No. 12 (See Appendix No. 4).

Students acquire professional skills during seminars and practicals, especially

completing practie assignments. Durung the practice students are given an assignment to

develop a particular skill, for example, personnel record keeping or interviewing skill. The

professional skills gained by the student are also assessed on the 10-point scale and the

assessment is given both by practice location (potential or present employer) and practice

supervisor.

The state examinations – qualification examination and diploma paper- are assessed

on the 10-point scale by the Qualification Commission. The Commission is formed in

compliance with the Regulations on Second Level Professional Higher Education State

Standard No. 481 issued by LR Cabinet of Ministers on November 20, 2001. Participation

of independent eksperts in state examinations is a must, and the lowest positive

assessment in state examinations is not less than 5 points.

In the qualification examination the student has to demonstrante his/her knowledge of

the theoretical and special courses of the branch. When studying for the qualification

examination the student is informed about all the requirements for state examinations and

at least two tutorials are provided. The qualification examination takes place in the

presence of the Qualification Commission and students’ knowledge is assessed on the 10-

point scale.

In their diploma paper students have to demonstrante their professional knowledge and

research work skills. The student develops his/her diploma paper on a topical subject

which he/she choses from the thematic fields of diploma papers adopted by the Council of

the Department of Management and Economics. Initially the scientific advisor advises the

student on the diploma paper and gives his/her assessment, but on the completion of work

the assessment is given by the reviewer. The defence of the diploma paper takes place in

the presence of the Qualification Commission.

After successfully passing all the state examinations (not less than 5 points), having

good results in all study subjects (not less than 4 points), defending practice accounts and

three scientific papers- two term papers and one scientific project, students are awarded

the second level professional higher education diploma.

essential diference is that RTU programme places a greater emphasis on the

acquisition of exact sciences (mathematics, statistics), whereas in RTTEMA

programme knowledge and skills are acquired in basically equal proportions in four big

interconnected modules: law, economics, entrepreneurship and management,

communication and psychology. The division of courses over the modules is different,

a number of study subjects which are similar in terms of contents or title are placed in

different modules.

5. Advertising and informative literature

To inform and attract the future students to the study programme Personnel

Management, RTTEMA implements a number of advertising events:

1. Open Door Days are organised both in Riga and RTTEMA regional study branches

throughout Latvia aimed at acquainting the potential students with the study

programmes, their contents and the organisation of the study process.

2. Informative visits to Latvia’s schools are organised during spring with the aim to

inform school leavers about the study programmes offered by the Academy and

attract the potential students; the students of the study programme Personnel

Management took an active part in the advertising campaign, too.

3. Information on the study programmes offered by RTTEMA is inserted in the central

Latvian newspapers and magazines (Diena, Dienas Bizness, Lauku Avīze, Santa,

Ieva) as well as in the major regional newspapers. TV and radio commercials are

broadcast on Radio SWH, Latvian Radio 2, Latvian television channel LNT.

4. The Academy regularly takes part in the educational fair Skola (School), where the

future students can familiarise themselves with the study programmēs offered by

RTTEMA and receive extended information from experts on the programme they

are interested in (See the promotional booklet of the programme in Appendix No.

5).

5. RTTEMA home page (www.rpiva.lv) displays not only the study programmes but

also the history of the Academy, lecturers, cooperation partners, etc.

6. Updated Academy’s booklets, posters and other promotional materials are

designed on regular basis.

7. The programme is popularised in Latvia’s secondary schools in cooperation with the

International Information and Employment Centre, which publishes the magazine

Citadele. The magazine publishes bulletins and newsletters.

8. In the towns and cities where the branches of the Academy are located seminars

for the major city and regional employers are organised on the subject Functions

and role of personnel management for ensuring the enterprise’s competitiveness,

thus popularising the profession of the personnel manager and encouraging

employers to attract professional personnel managers to their enterprises.

9. Lecturers involved in the study programme participate in courses organised by

Distance Learning Centre on personnel management issues. The participants of the

course are encouraged to acquire relevant professional and academic education.

6. Prospective evaluation of the study programme from the standpoint of the interests of the Republic of Latvia

Personnel management as an independent branch of management science started to

develop in Latvia just in 1990s. Alongside with the collapse of the Soviet system and the

formation of market relationships man stood out in the centre of the national economic

development. Employees became the strategic resource of the organisation, so the skill to

manage people became the basis of contemporary business. Rapid changes in personnel

management were introduced by Latvia’s accession to the European Union since on the

joint labour market of the European Union managers’ tasks in the fields of devising the

selection criteria, evaluation and motivation of employees undergo radical changes, too.

Personnel management is a field where changes happen every moment, it is closely

connected with one of the most essential enterprise’s strategic resources- employees.

Under the conditions of contemporary competition it is important to maintain the enterprise’

s’ stability. Today the situation on the labour market in Latvia determines that the

enterprise’ s’ management have to work hard to retain qualified and not so qualified

employees. According to several studies and analytical articles in the Latvian press,

(„Karjeras Diena”, „Dienas Bizness” 10.2005), compared to Latvia of the 1990s when the

employer played a decisive role in the selection of the employee, today the employee

dictates terms to the employer both determining the level of his/her pay and demanding

ergonomic working environment, attractive bonus system and high social guarantees. In

the current situation an employer who wants to maintain and develop his/her business is

compelled to think about professional personnel management in his/her enterprise.

Therefore the demand for professional personnel managers on the labour market has

consifderably grown. It is proved by the fact that the number of job advertisements in the

press and on the Internet requiring personnel managers and personnel specialists is

increasing. Some years ago such advertisements appeared quite rarely and most

employers’ idea of a personnel manager was restricted to a personnel filing clerk without

special education. The facts indicating to the necessity of the study programme are the

graduates’ competitiveness on the labour market, graduates and employees’ opinion polls

and the lack of professional personnel managers with a special education in Latvia. One

must admit that in correspondence with the situation on the labour market, the prestige of

the profession of the personnel manager and personnel specialist has considerably

increased during the last year. Nowadays the role of human resources management is

29

growing and investments in human capital are rapidly increasing. Managers make sure of

the significance of human resources for the enterprise’s successful development, therefore

the need for qualified personnel managers has dramatically increased. Personnel

management consists of three parts:

personnel planning, selection, evaluation, adaptation, organisation of education,

inservice training and personnel rotation, improvement of motivation;

improvement of the organisational structure, drawing up rules and regulations,

creation of the necessary working environment, devising timetables, job

descriptions and types of requirements;

regulation of social relationships.

Considering the fact that competition and new requirements on the labour market

increase with every year, study programmes must respond flexibly to the recent changes

on the national scale in order to ensure wholesome competitiveness in Latvia and the

European Union. Today such changes have affected also the personnel management of

establishments and organisations.

At the moment only three institutions of higher education train personnel managers in

Latvia and it does not satisfy the current demand of the labour market. Vacancies for the

personnel manager or specialist’s positions are advertised in mass media on a regular

basis and relevant education is a must.

The contents of RTTEMA professional study programme Personnel Management

includes all the above-mentioned market requirements.

6.1. Compliance of the study programme with Higher Professional Education Standard and Professional Standard

Keeping track with educational tendencies, market demand and based on Paragraph 5

of Regulation No.481 issued by the Cabinet of Ministers on November 20, 2001 which

defines the requirements of the contents and amount of second level higher professional

education, changes have been made to the contents of the programme by supplementing

the programme with courses which ensure the acquisition of competencies in compliance

with the Professional Standard. The present professional higher education study

programme Personnel Management has been improved in compliance with the

Professional Standard of the Personnel Manager (See Appendix No.6.), which was

developed, submitted to the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Latvia

30

and approved by LR MOES on September 8, 2003 (Instruction No. 424). The contents of

the study course and the study programme have been devised on the basis of the

Professional Standard of the Republic of Latvia and foster the acquisition of the knowledge

and skills in compliance with the Professional Standard of the Personnel Manager. The

programme complies with LR Professional Classifier Group 2412 03 as well as the

programmes of higher educational establishments of the same type and employees’

evaluation (See Pictures in Chapter 6.2.).

The LR Personnel Manager’s Professional Standard states that a professional

personnel manager has to be able to understand the regularities and principles of current

economic development, processes taking place on the labour market and take decisions

corresponding to the changes in the situation, use the acquired theoretical and practical

knowledge in effective management of the enterprise’s structural units, work in

psychologically complicated situations, take decisions. The personnel manager has to

acquire specific skills in the profession – he must be able to:

formulate the enterprise’s (establishment, organisation, etc.) personnel

management goals, draw up the strategic plan of personnel development;

understand the employees’ behaviour;

devise and organise measures of increasing personell motivation;

organise and manage the work of the personnel of subordinate structural units;

use management information systems for the provision of the enterprise’s

(establishment, organisation, etc.) personnel management process;

introduce progressive solutions to the enterprise’s (establishment, organisation,

etc.) personnel management systems;

understand the proprietors’ interests and integrate them in the enterprise’s

(establishment, organisation, etc.)personnel development plan;

use the latest forms of work organisation and information technologies;

prepare documents;

conduct job interviews;

devise and use personnel assessment system;

keep track of documents regulating the enterprise’s (establishment, organisation,

etc.) work, LR laws and regulations regulating employment relationships and labour

protection.

The basic elements of this programme are the understanding of the economic

processes and mutual relations of people of a democratic society, the understanding of

31

the role of the personnel manager in the achievement of organisational goals, the

acquisition of the responsibilities of the personnel manager, the skill to use languages

and modern means of information technology for successful personnel management.

The goals and tasks of the programme Personnel Management were advanced and the

contents formed on the basis of the personnel manager’s skills and necessary knowledge

defined in the professional standard.

6.2. Results of the employers’ opinion poll

In order to improve the study programme employers’ opinion polls are conducted,

which enhances the compliance of the programme with the requirements of the labour

market. The most recent employers’ poll was conducted in October, 2005. The poll was

aimed to find out the opinion of the employers of the present and potential students about

the level of students’ skills and knowledge and the compliance of the content of the

programme with the employers’ requirements. The results of the poll were obtained by

summarizing data from 55 employers’ questionnaires. Enterprises and organisations of

different type participated in the poll- both public and municipal institutions and private

enterprises: Latvian Post, town and regional municipal authorities, out patient clinics and

health care centres, branches of banks, Department of National Fire Prevention Service,

Baltic Sea Port, etc. ( (See employers’ questionnaires in Appendix No. 7)

The questionnaire consisted of 11 questions which aimed to find out the compliance of the

contents and implementation of the study programme with the requirements of the labour

market, evaluate the level of students’ skills and knowledge as well as to obtain proposals

for the improvement of the programme.

The evaluation of students’ competencies and professionalism in RTTEMA

professional study programme Personnel Management– results of the employers’

questionnaires.

Most of the respondents admit that the determining factor in the selection of the

employee is the employee’s level of skills, relevant education in the speciality and the

employee’s s motivation.

7. Evaluation of the study programme7.1. Aim and tasks of the study programme

Aim of the programmeTo train personnel managers in conformity with the Profesional Standard of the

Republic of Latvia who would provide human resources management corresponding to the

enterprise’s goal in compliance with LR and international laws and regulations.

Tasks of the programme:

to improve students’ understanding of the economic processes both in an enterprise,

Latvia and the world at large;

to develop the future professionals’ skill to analyse and forecast labour market trends;

to gain the skill to devise personnel policy, project personnel resources according to

the enterprise’s strategy; to introduce, manage, analyse, evaluate and improve the

enterprise’s personnel management system; (planning, selection, training, assessment,

motivation).

to gain the skill to monitor the observation of laws and regulations regarding

employment relationships which are in effect in the Republic of Latvia, to have a good

knowledge of personnel record keeping, monitor the improvement and functioning of

the labour protection system;

to develop the skill to improve the enterprise’s organisational structure and organise

the management of changes in the enterprise in the field of human resources in

cooperation with the administration of the enterprise and other divisions;

to stimulate students’ wish to continuously improve their professional skills and

knowledge (career development), so that they can compete freely on the labour market

in Latvia and the markets of other European Union;

to develop students’ business communication skills for interaction with the staff and

clients speaking at least two foreign languages fluently.

37

7.2. Organisation of the study programme – changes during the self-

evaluation periodIn comparison with the pervious, non-accredited study programme, several essential

changes have been made to the new programme:

The report of the Accreditation Commission pointed out that the contents of the

programme Personnel Management has only a slight difference from the

programme Office Manager- Desk Officer. The main changes since 2004 have

been as follows: the amount of personnel management study subjects has been

increased by 8 credit points ( previously 2 credit points); this subject is acquired

already in the first year of studies and is a major in all the following study years.

The main role in the study programme has been allocated to the acquisition of

personnel management; it has been integrated in the whole study programme by

not only increasing the amount of credit points for the personnel management

course, but also including the acquisition of knowledge and skills in the content of

other study courses in conformity with the Professional Standard. Descriptions of

study courses have been reviewed at the meeting of the Department of Economics

and Entrepreneurship.

Several study subjects have been removed from the study programme (for

example: Client marketing, Fundamentals of entrepreneurship), whereas a number

of study courses have been added to the programme (for example: Work

psychology, Situation of labour force in Latvia and the European Union). Such a

decision has been made to ensure the competencies mentioned in thr Professional

Standard.

Several study courses have been integrated into one more comprehensive course,

thus increasing the amount of the credit points and acquisition period of one subject

(for example, the courses Labour legislation and Labour protection have been

combined into one, and the courses Macroeconomics and Microeconomics have

been combined in the course Fundamentals of Economics likewise.) Such

approach prevents the fragmentation of study courses and duplication of their

contents.

Great effort was made to revise the descriptions of study courses related to the

acquisition of information technology. The Accreditation Commission had made

consistent objections concerning the adequacy of the contents of the course to the

level of an institution of higher education. Two new study courses- Information

technologies in the personnel manager’s work(8 CP) and Personnel information

38

systems (4 CP) were devised aimed to teach the future personnel manager the use

of the computer according to his/her job responsibilities/functions.

Another significant change is connected with the acquisition of foreign languages.

The acquisition of English amounting to 11 credit points (English for Special

Purposes 6 CP and Business English 5 CP) is compulsory for every student of the

programme. The long-term goal of the programme in the acquisition of foreign

languages is to achieve such a level that every graduate could study professional

literature in English, use English and at least one more foreign language in their

professional activity.

Several study subjects were moved from the module of theoretical courses of the

branch to the module of free optional courses. (Fundamentals of marketing,

Rhetoric and Dramatics). Study subjects necessary for obtaining the qualification of

the personnel manager were added (Work psychology, Business English).

To improve the contents of the study programme, regulations for the applicants

were worked out. The main criteria for student matriculation are the comprehension

of the personnel manager’s profession as well as the level of the knowledge of

English and computer skills.

The study programme was altered in compliance with LR Professional Standard

Personnel manager and considering the conclusions of the members of the Latvian

Association of Personnel Management- professional personnel managers. Thus the

programme provides knowledge and professional skills in four big interrelated

modules:

1. The field of law

2. Economics, entrepreneurship and management

3. Communication

4. Psychology

Study courses of the programme are implemented observing the consecutiveness

principle: first, the student obtains basic information in one of the above-mentioned

four fields and in the consecutive study years the subjects become more specific,

more relevant to the acquirement of the profession (for example, in the first years of

study the student acquires personality and communication psychology, and in the

consecutive study years he/she studies management and organisational

psychology as well as work psychology).

Consistency in the acquisition of knowledge and skills is also ensured; this is

reflected in the Practice Regulations. Each consecutive practice builds up the skills

39

acquired during the previous practice. Each practice takes place on the basis of

previously acquired theoretical knowledge.

The academic staff involved in the programme attended a number of seminars,

presentations and meetings aimed to create a more complete idea about the

professional and personal competencies of a personnel manager working in an

organisation. By developing the lecturers’ understanding of the personnel

manager’s profession in today’s situation, the contents of the study course, the

quality of the programme and the quality of the professional training of students is

gradually changing, too. Table 7 reflects the change in the study programme since

the previous accreditation in 2004.

Employers and students were actively involved in restructuring the programme and

discussing its contents.

To implement the programme in accordance with the improvements and additions, 4 th and

5th year students had their length of study prolonged. Year 5 students will complete their

studies on May 31, 2006, whereas year 4 students. will complete their studies on March

31, 2007 (Resolution of RTTEMA Senate on 26.09.2005.)

7.3. Practical implementation of the study programme and assessment

system

Different study forms are used in the study process the choice of which is determined

by the specific character of each study course. Lecturers have devised their individual

descriptions of study courses according to the joint requirements of the study programme.

The descriptions of study courses have been devised taking into consideration the

Academy’s conception and the specific character of individual study courses. As it was

mentioned in the report of the Accreditation Commmission, the previous study programme

lacked the link between study subjects. Now the programme has been organised in such a

way that the contents of the study courses does not overlap. Therefore the subjects have

been combined in larger modules and the subject of personnel management includes both

introduction to the speciality and the fundamentals of management. Starting work in the

study programme lecturers’ task is to familiarize themselves with the programme and the

descriptions of all study subjects in order to understand what is the place and role of their

43

subject in the study programme as a whole. The director of the programme has

discussions with lecturers of all study subjects.

Each description of the study course contains the tasks which have been set according

to the goal of the study programme, the contents of the study course, study methods and

forms of the organisation of work as well as methodological techniques for the assessment

of students’ study achievements. Some innovations have been introduced to the

descriptions of study courses, i. e. introduction- the place of the study course amongst

other study courses, list of topics to be acquired independently. The descriptions of study

courses and programmes devised by the lecturers are approved at the meetings of the

corresponding departments.

As the number of students in the groups does not exceed 30 students, the accent in the

study programme is laid on a more frequent use of interactive methods and forms in the

study process in order to ensure a more wholesome feedback since both established and

contradictory matters can be revealed more clearly in such a way. The variety of

interactive methods and forms is a significant factor in the provision of study quality.

During the implementation of the study programme the following study methods and

forms are used:

1) lectures,

2) seminars (students’ individual presentations on a particular problem and the

possibilities of its resolution),

3) discussions and debates (expert polling, question – answer; extended, planned),

disputes. These forms of work are prepared beforehand.

4) discussing reports (oral or in a form of reviews of written reports),

5) theoretical conference, press conference (in the group, among groups),

6) the project method where 5-7 students acquire and prepare a particular topic for

group presentation,

7) the use of video material in the acquisition of study courses.

In comparison with the previous accreditation of the study programme and the

developmental trends of the study programme, the practice of the programme Personnel

Management lasts from Year 1 till Year 4. Its total amount is 26 CP. (See Practice

Regulations in Appendix No.8).

The practice is conducted by the director of the programme and the lecturers of the

corresponding study courses in cooperation with the enterprise’s (establishment,

44

organisation) specialists.(See the copies of the agreements on the provision of practices in

Appendix No. 9).

In semesters 1 and 3 – practice in personnel record keeping -4 CP

In semesters 4, 6 and 7 - practice of observing and comparing personnel

departments of different organisations -12 CP

In semester 8– qualification practice -10 CP

Each consecutive practice is based on the experience, conclusions and knowledge

acquired during the previous practice, it is the continuation of the previous practice.

Before starting the practice students are given practice tasks. Practice tasks are set in

such a way that they encourage students to think, do additional work, gather and

systematize material for further work and self-education. In accomplishing practice tasks

the student can express his/her personality, attitudes, interests, knowledge, skills and

abilities creatively.

Common goals of the practices:1. To enhance students’ all-round training for the work of the personnel manager.

2. To provide the opportunity to test the theoretical knowledge acquired during the

study process in practice, gather the necessary material and prepare for writing

the diploma paper.

3. To improve communication skills and abilities.

4. To facilitate the acquisition of the competencies of the future profession.

5. To evaluate own responsibility, training and suitability for the chosen profession.

For the accomplishment of practice tasks, the knowledge acquired during studies must

be used. Students’ professional gain and the overall assessment of the practice depend on

the quality of the accomplishment of the tasks, analyses of the results, self-evaluation and

the evaluation of practice supervisor. On conclusion of each practice students write a

practice account and presents the results of work in practice conferences. (See practice

programmes in Appendix No. 10).

In Semesters 3, 4 and 6 students write scientific papers. The first scientific paper is

written in the shape of a project and it has a rather free form of account. However, it has

to be based on the theory. Students can write their first term paper without the empirical

part of the research, but the second term paper must include the empirical part of the

research which reveals students’ skills of conducting practical research.

Without successful completion of all practices and scientific papers students are not

allowed to take the qualification examination, defend the diploma paper and obtain the

diploma of second level higher professional education.

45

Students take the qualification examination and defend the diploma paper in the presence

of State Qualification Commission. The body of the Commission complies with Regulations

on Second Level Professional Higher Education National Standard No.481 issued by LR

Cabinet of Ministers on November 20, 2001.

The quality of the organisation of the study programme is evaluated in the form of

polling. Student polls are conducted once a semester and they are aimed to evaluate the

professionalism of the academic staff of the programme and the possibilities of the

enhancement of the study programme.

Lecturers’ poll is to be conducted in the spring of 2006 aimed to determine the level of

the lecturers’ job satisfaction and scientific research work performed in the academic year

2005 /2006.

Development of professional skills in the acquisition of study courses, during practices

and writing scientific papers.

46

At the moment the students of the programme Personnel Management are involved in

three research projects:

1) In the research project’s concourse financed and organized by RTTEMA was

supported project ''The ways of development of Personal Management science in Latvia,

European Union and Word” managed by Mag. psych. Signes Enkuzena. Other members

in project work group are: Mag.psych. Baiba Skrauce and Mag.sc.soc Agita Miķelsone;

2) research work is realised in cooperation with the Latvian Association of

Personnel Management and it is aimed to establish the compliance of the real functions

and responsibilities of personnel managers and personnel specialists working in Latvia

with the personnel manager’s Professional Standard. The follow-up of the project will deal

with the real skills and knowledge which are to be used in the personnel manager’s and

personnel specialist’s work. It will be possible to use the results obtained in the research in

the enhancement of the study programme.

3) the project Technical Assistance in the Consolidation of the Capacity of NGO and

Municipal Authorities for the Introduction of the European Social Fund Measures financed

by the European Social Fund. This project has been created by three Latvian regional self-

governmental authorities. Lectures and seminars aimed to improve the personnel

management functions and highlight their role in the organisation of municipality work

have been planned within the framework of the project.

Since the contents of the programme is comprised of study subjects of both psychological,

economical, entrepreneurial and communication sciences, the scientific research activity of

the academic staff of the programme represents different aspects of personnel

management and it is reflected in the topics of students’ scientific papers (See Appendix

No. 11). The scientific research and methodological work of the academic staff involved in

the study programme Personnel Management is also reflected in the themes offered for

students’ term papers and diploma papers. Scientific research work is conducted mainly

in the fields of economics and organisational psychology. The majority of them are term

papers. The scientific advisors of student research activity are mainly lecturers from the

departments of economics and organisational psychology. Students gain ideas for their

research work during practices. Students select topical problems, offer their resolutions by

comparing theoretical approaches with practical activity. The results of the research work

appear in practice conferences, defence of term papers and RTTEMA scientific

conferences.

Assistant professor Hilmārs Zīle directs student research activity towards the study of

the problems of Latvian and European labour force.

47

Mag psych. Signe Enkuzena’s research activity is oriented towards the study of

personnel mangers’ real functions in the organisations of Latvia and their compliance with

the Professional Standard.

Associate professor of the Department of Organisational Psychology Anita Lasmane

advises students whose papers are connected with the impact of organisational culture

and managers’ personal qualities on personnel management processes. A number of

students have researched issues of job motivation and job satisfaction. They are advised

by the lecturers of both departments of psychology and economics. Topical subjects in

student research work are the enhancement of the personnel selection processes and

their relation to work efficiency in the organisation. These topics are researched by Mag.

sc.soc Agita Miķelsone.

The research field of Mag. tqm. Velga Avota is the quality and developmental trends of

personnel management. All the lecturers of the programme who conduct scientific work

individually or in projects integrate their experience and knowledge in the contents of the

courses of the study programme.

In March 2006 a scientific conference on the theme Contemporary personnel manager

in a contemporary organisation will be organised for the students studying in the

programme Personnel Management. It is vitally important for the development of scientific

research activity that such conferences become a constituent part of the study

programme.

The selection and use of study methods and organisation forms is determined by the

specific character and the contents of the study subject, the amount of contact lessons and

the number of students in a group..

Student study achievements are assessed according to RTTEMA requirements:

RTTEMA Regulations on Examinations approved at the meeting of RTTEMA Senate on

January 12, 2001, Proceedings No.12 (See Appendix No. 4).

Each RTTEMA lecturer works out criteria for the assessment of students’ knowledge

corresponding to the study course, uses them in the assessment process to obtain

assessment which is based on the evaluation of knowledge and skills as well as the

appraisal of students’ growth. The most common forms of the assessment op students’

work are the following:

essay

participation in seminars,

practical assignments performed individually or in the group,

term projects and their presentation,

48

test works and tests

oral examination or examination in the form of test,

as well as attendance of lectures and student performance against the objectives of the

specific situation.

The study course is completed by a test or examination according to the approved study

programme. The result of the examination or differential test is assessed on a ten-point

scale, non-differential test is entered on the records as ”pass” or ”fail”.

The state examination and diploma paper are assessed by the Qualification

Commission on a ten-point scale. The body of the Commission is formed in compliance

with Regulations on Second Level Professional Higher Education National Standard

No.481 issued by LR Cabinet of Ministers on November 20, 2001.

The lowest positive assessment in state examinations is not less than 5 points.

In the qualification examination the student has to demonstrate his/her knowledge of

the theoretical and special courses of the branch. When studying for the qualification

examination the student is informed about all the requirements for state examinations and

at least two tutorials are provided. The qualification examination takes place in the

presence of the Qualification Commission and students’ knowledge is assessed on the 10-

point scale.

In their diploma paper students have to demonstrate their professional knowledge and

research work skills. The student develops his/her diploma paper on a topical subject

which he/she chooses from the thematic fields of diploma papers approved by the Council

of the Department of Management and Economics. Initially the scientific advisor advises

the student on the diploma paper and gives his/her assessment, but on the completion of

work the assessment is given by the reviewer. The defence of the diploma paper takes

place in the presence of the Qualification Commission.

After successfully passing all the state examinations (not less than 5 points), having

good results in all study subjects (not less than 4 points), defending practice accounts and

three scientific papers- two term papers and one scientific project, students are awarded

the second level professional higher education diploma.

is another proof of students’ interest in this study programme and the demand for

professionals on the labour market.

7.4.3. Graduates

Since the study programme Personnel Management was not accredited in year 2004,

there are no RTTEMA graduates in this programme. According to the resolution of the

Senate issued on 29.09. 2005, the present 5-year students had their study time prolonged

till May 31, 2006 and 32 students are expected to graduate from this programme in the

spring of 2006.

In years 2002 and 2003 198 students graduated from RTTEMA study programme

Office Manager- Desk Officer.

The first graduates (47 altogether) were in Rigas, Cēsis, Jēkabpils, Kuldīga, Liepāja

and Madona branches (See Figure 12).Figure 12

Looking ast the results of matriculation and the number of graduates, there was a large

student drop-out. The reason for this was uniting the student groups of some branches,

which increased students’ travel costs; as a result students became unable to pay and quit

their studies (or went on the academic leave). Another reason was a considerable

increase in the tuition fees (in year 1998 the tuition fees reached 450 Ls, in year 1999–

490 Ls, whereas in year 2000 the tuition fees reached 650 Ls + 10% in each consecutive

year, in 2001 and the following years– 650 Ls in Riga and 550 Ls in the branches).

For students who entered the professional study programme Personnel Management in

year 2005 the tuition fees are 650 for one study year, which is cheaper in comparison with

similar programmes in Latvia.

RTTEMA student opinion polls are conducted twice a study year in order to find out

their opinion about both the contents of the study courses and the forms and methods of

the organisation of studies. The accreditation materials contain the analyses of the results

of student opinion polls conducted by RTTEMA Study Department in October, 2005. All

the students studying in the programme received questionnaires. 90 questionnaires were

returned (See Appendix No.12) which makes 54% , thus the results of the poll can be

considered plausible. The following figures and text reflect the results of the student

poll.78% of students evaluate the professionalism of RTTEMA academic staff as adequate

and just a small part of them emphasize that the lecturers’ professionalism could be

higher.

Students consider that the most significant study subjects for their speciality are labour

legislation, different kinds of psychology and record keeping in the personnel manager’s

work. Foreign languages, management and informatics are also mentioned in the

students’ questionnaires.

Asked about the study subjects the aims of which are not clear enough, students

mention fundamentals of philosophy and project management. It means that these issues

should be discussed with the lecturers of the corresponding study courses.

How do you evaluate the organisation of the study process?

How do you evaluate your chances on the labour market after graduating from RTTEMA?

55

In their recommendations about the study subjects which should be included in the study

programme students point out that labour legislation and rights should be allocated more

credit points. Such lecturers as Agita Miķelsone, Velga Simsone, Maija Leikarte, Sandra

Laurīte, Jānis Gedrovics and Līga Kalniņa rank very high among students.

In their recommendations about the enhancement of the study programme students

mention the following: lecturers should talk more about practical and existing things

instead of discussing theoretical issues; some of the study subjects should be delivered in

a foreign language; students should be provided with practice placements, students should

be given more practical assignments with real examples.

The obtained information was handed over to the heads of the relevant departments.

The quality of the lecturers’ work is analysed at departmental meetings since the lecturer

has the opportunity to receive additional pay or a bonus for qualitative work according to

the evaluation.

56

7.4.5. Graduates’ opinion polls and their analyses The first graduates from RTTEMA professional study programme Personnel

Management will only be in the spring of 2006, therefore materials from last year’s

accreditation report which reflect the opinion of the graduates of the study programme

Office Manager- Desk Officer have been included in the present accreditation report.

The gains in the study process most frequently mentioned by the graduates of the

programme are the following:

professional skills,

communication skills,

the wish to study in the master’s programme and improve oneself,

acquired good skills in information analyses,

greater opportunities on the labour market.

Figure 21 shows that the graduates of the programme appreciate the knowledge and

skills acquired during studies, which have helped them to compete on the labour market.

The graduates were also asked about the professionalism of the academic staff. Figure 21

Graduates’ recommendations for the enhancement of the study programme

to introduce more seminars in the study process,

to improve the Academy’s library,

to increase the number of contact lessons for the acquisition of foreign languages.

We must note that the above-mentioned recommendations have been taken into

consideration: the descriptions of study courses have been improved, they reveal more

varied forms of practical classes. The number of books and informative materials in the

Academy’s library has been increased. In the Department of Languages the methodology

of teaching foreign languages has been worked out, various forms and methods are used.

(The materials can be found in the Department of Languages ).

7.4.6. Students’ participation in the enhancement of the study process

To obtain feedback on the contents and organisation of the study programme, to get

acquainted with students and their opinion, the director of the study programme met

students several times a month in the first study semester.

The director of the programme and representatives from each study group have

formed a working party. They have a meeting once in three months in order to discuss

current issues.

Students are responsive and get involved in the implementation of both different

researches and projects.

The monitors of student groups are invited to participate in departmental meetings in

order to analyse the study process more thoroughly and to ensure qualitative

exchange of information.

Students participate in the self-evaluation processes of the study programme and the

discussion of the report in the council of the department.

Students have the opportunity to get in touch with the lecturers by e-mail and mobile

phone.

Student polling is conducted twice a study year.

In comparison with the previous self-evaluation period it is evident that the number of

lecturers and professors in the programme has increased. Three associate professors

occupy the positions of professors. The growth of the percentage of lecturers can be

explained by the fact that new lecturers have been invited to deliver the specialised

courses of the branch in the programme: practising personnel managers, managers, public

relations specialists, who currently work in their speciality. Unfortunately, the current

situation does not allow them to combine work with PhD studies. In its turn, the number of

assistants involved in the study programme has decreased and reached 0.

7.5.4. Policy of the selection, renewal, training and development of the academic staff

To attract more lecturers to a full-time job in this programme, measures of the

popularisation of the programme and the personnel manager’s profession should be

taken in order to provide the programme with a sufficient number of students.

The policy of the remuneration of experienced, professional and educated lecturers

should be directed towards their involvement in full-time job with such a level of

remuneration and stimulation system that it would compete successfully with the

remuneration of good specialists in the private sector. This would raise both the

quality of the study programme and the prestige of the lecturer’s profession.

Next year both the Division of Economics and Management and RTTEMA Personnel

Department plan to carry out the evaluation of the lecturers’ work the result of which

will affect their pay.

At the moment several PhD students of psychology and management sciences

( including those who are studying abroad) have shown interest in this programme. It

is important to develop different cooperation and research projects of Latvian and

foreign higher educational establishments and other organisations funded by a third

organisation. Within the projects students and lecturers could implement their

scientific research interests, receiving remuneration for their work and at the same

time involving students in the research work.

For the enhancement and provision of the study programme it is planned to involve

more practising specialists in the work of the programme- both as practice

supervisors, advisors of diploma papers and members of the Qualification

Examination Commission. Students appreciate the opportunity to acquire knowledge

and experience from a practising specialist in the professional study programme.

Seminars aimed to improve the lecturers’ proficiency must be introduced to the

programme as a tradition. Since the programme is devised for part-time students, the

lecturers of the programme meet very rarely. By organising such seminars of the

exchange of experience, lecturers’ groups could be formed in order to implement

ideas essential for the development of the programme by joint effort.

Every year a competition for the vacant academic positions is announced at

RTTEMA. All the submitted documents are evaluated by the Competition

Commission according to the criteria worked out by RTTEMA Senate.

RTTEMA lecturers increase their proficiency by studying for their PhD degree and

participating in conferences. The Academy’ s administration will provide material

support for this kind of lecturers’ activity.

7.7.1. Link with employers and other organisations in Latvia and abroad

RTTEMA has concluded agreements on practice placements with different types

of organisations and establishments to provide students with practice placements.

They include publicē and municipal institutions, branches of banks, health care

establishments, publicē catering enterprises, for example

Joint stock company DC Holding

SEB Unibank, Parex bank and branches of Hansa bank

Olaine City Council

Public joint stock company Pauls Stradins Consultative Out Patients

Employers’ evaluation of the study programme can be found in Chapter 6.2.

In September, 2005 the Academy joined the Central and East European

Management Network Association the tasks of which are to increase the

competence of the academic staff involved in business education, organise

lecturers’ exchange programmes, distribute study literature and offer the

academic staff the opportunity to participate in international conferences. In the

summer of 2006 this association offers a 2-week seminar in Slovakia. The

lecturers of the programme have the opportunity to apply for the participation in

this seminar.

The director of the programme is a member of the Latvian Association of

Personnel Management; together with LAPM the academic staff and students are

involved in a research project dealing with the issues of the compliance of the

professional functions of Latvia’s personnel managers and specialists with the

professional Standard of the Personnel Manager of the Republic of Latvia.

LAPM acts as a mediator in helping to establish contacts with organisations and

enterprises which are LAPM members, thus these enterprises are concerned with

professional personnel management.

78

At present the director of the programme has entered into negotiations with

Latvian Employers’ Confederation on the possible cooperation for the provision of

practice placements for students as well as cooperation in conducting the

practical part of the research projects.

The lecturers and students of the programme cooperate with three Zemgale

regional municipal authorities in a project financed by the European Social Fund

Technical Assistance in the Consolidation of the Capacity of NGO and Municipal

Authorities for the Introduction of the European Social Fund Measures

7.7.2. Cooperation with similar study programmes in Latvia and abroad

Several of our cooperation higher educational establishments offer Bachelor’s

and/or Master’s degree in economics and business management, also offering the

opportunity for an in-depth study of human resources management, and they are the

following:

Siauliai University - Lithuania

Joensuu University - Finland- international programmes in human resources

management

Technische Universität Braunschweig

(Personnel Development at work) Germany- Murcia University; Spain

Oslo University College; Norway-

Braunschweig Technical University; Germany

However, it should be mentioned that at present all the Academy’s contacts as to

student exchange (Erasmus agreements) have been established in the fields of

pedagogy and/or psychology and its cooperation in the field of personnel management

will bring tangible results in a more extended period of time, since student exchange is

a dual movement and, respectively, the study programme has to be able to offer more or

less identical study programmes (accredited) to foreign students and lecturers.

In Latvia there exists just one second level professional higher education bachelor’s

study programme Human Resources Management which is implemented by Riga

Technical University (See Table 5).

In cooperation with LU, DU, LUA and LPA RTTEMA is engaged in the project of ESF

national programme Support for Pursuing Professional Orientation and Career in the

Education System Provision of Career Education in the Education System. Measures

79

taken within the project allow to get an insight in the system of employees’ motivation in

Latvia and the world, research into the labour market and other issues. The experience

gained is useful in the process of training personnel managers and it opens up the

possibilities to offer students current directions of research work.

80

8. Plan of the development of the study programme

STRENGTHS1. The study programme complies with the standards of Latvian legislation and the

practice of European educational establishments.

2. The profession is in demand on the labour market.

3. Professional academic staff work in the programme.

4. Regular enhancement of the study courses.

Entrepreneurship.

2. The small amount of participation in foreign seminars and business trips.

3. Insufficient provision of material and technical resources at RTTEMA study

branches– the library stocks and computer equipment should be more abundant.

When the study programme Personnel Management is accredited, it will attract

students not only in Riga but also other Academy’s study branches. Professional

personnel specialists will work not only in Riga but all over Latvia. The work of the

personality as an individual in raising the organisational efficiency will rank higher.

With the increase in the number of students the lecturers’ load increases, too.

Hence, the possibility to attract professional and academically educated staff to full-time

job in the programme arises.

MOST CURRENT TASKS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROGRAMME1. To inform the public about the advantages of the programme offered by RTTEMA

with the help of mass media.

2. To organise common scientific research activity of the academic staff of the

programme just in the field of personnel management by attracting a lecturers’

81

working group to one project, since up to now scientific research work has been

conducted mainly by individual researchers.

3. To organise lecturers’ mutual lecture observation and analysing the results at

departmental meetings.

4. To establish cooperation with higher educational establishments in Europe and

the U.S.A.

5. To find the possibility for the academic staff of the programme to receive

education and gain experience in other higher educational establishments.

6. To involve students in the scientific work more widely, motivate students to

participate in projects, conferences and seminars.

7. To motivate the graduates of the study programme to pursue post-graduate

studies so that at least 50% of the graduates of the programme obtain a Master’s

degree.

8. In cooperation with LPMA to provide students with the qualification practice in

organisations which are LPMA members and devise cooperation principles.

9. To organise field visits to enterprises with a developed personnel department for

students within the study course Personnel management.

10.To enhance the employers’ interest in the study programme.

11. To use more opportunities of information technologies in the organisation of the

study programme.

12.To continue the enhancement of the material and technical resources.

The above-mentioned measures were discussed at the Board of the Division of
