Abstract
Introduction: The
suitability of the salaries and benefits
of faculty members for their livelihoods
is one of the most important factors in
their job satisfaction. Therefore, this
research was conducted to determine how
the salaries and benefits of faculty members
are calculated in the Ministry of Health
and Medical Education of Iran.
Methods:
This descriptive and analytical study
was conducted to shed more light on the
way the salaries and benefits of faculty
members employed at the Ministry of Health
and Medical Education of Iran are calculated.
Research data were collected through searching
published articles in Iranian and international
reputable websites as well as the administrative
and employment regulations of faculty
members of universities and higher education
institutions affiliated to the Ministry
of Health and Medical Education of Iran,
and further amendments and directives
in this regard.
Results: The
salaries of the faculty members in Iran
are determined on the basis of the salary
coefficient announced annually by the
government of the Islamic Republic of
Iran. In addition, their salaries will
increase with regard to the type of service,
the increase of the base level, promotion,
lack of specific profit activities outside
university, acquisition of managerial
positions, marriage and having children
for men.
Conclusion:
Faculty members expect their salaries
to be calculated and paid equitably and
to increase each year in proportion to
the inflation rate, so that they do not
have to carry out unrelated and non-academic
activities outside the university in order
to solve their livelihood problems.
Key words:
Salaries and Benefits, Faculty Members,
Ministry of Health, Medical Education,
Iran.

One of the factors that plays an important
role in the growth and development of any society
is the human resources of that country. Therefore,
nowadays, there are a great deal of investments
in educating and providing these resources in
developing and developed countries (1-2). Experienced
and motivated manpower is the most important
human capital in maintaining and developing
a society, and its advancement and development
would not be possible unless by attracting,
cultivating, maintaining and exploiting the
elite and educated human resources (3). One
of the effective ways of attracting, retaining,
and motivating human resources is to provide
them with material rewards in the form of different
payment systems and methods (4). Payroll is
defined as a payment that is paid to compensate
employees for their activities in any institution
or firm. Salary costs represent the share of
labor in the production of products or services,
and as one of the factors contributing to the
final cost, salary costs call for measurement,
control and continuous analysis (5). Determining
the amount of salary that an organization must
pay to its employees is one of the most key
aspects of human resource management (HRM).
This is firstly because the payment system (of
which the payroll is only a part) has a significant
impact on the attraction and satisfaction of
employees, and secondly, because paying employees
is one of the heaviest financial burdens that
each organization must come to terms with for
advancement and fulfillment of their goals.
Therefore, a system of wages and salaries that
is carefully designed and implemented on the
basis of correct policies will play a pivotal
role in the economic health of the organization
as well as the effective and efficient use of
the human resources in the organization (4).
The employment of faculty members in the Ministry
of Health and Medical Education of Iran, involves
different forms, including geographical full-time
and conventional full-time in terms of the scope
of activities, and permanent, temporary-to permanent,
under-a-contract, under conscription law in
terms of the permanency of employment. Geographical
full-time faculty members must serve at least
54 hours a week, according to the program, and
do not have the right to work outside the university
for professional profits (including working
at a personal office, pharmacy or laboratory,
an educational and diagnostic center, private
hospitals, charity centers, etc.). A conventional
full-time (non-geographical full time) faculty
member is a person who serves at least 40 hours
a week according to the university’s program.
Under exceptional circumstances, if necessary,
universities and higher education institutions
will be able to employ non-geographical full-time
faculty members with the approval of the Board
of Trustees under the conditions determined
by the University Council (6). There are currently
65 universities and independent medical science
faculties in Iran. Presently, 200,000 students
are studying for different degrees from associate
degree to clinical specialties and clinical
fellowships in different fields at Iran’s
medical universities. There are currently 18,000
faculty members in the Ministry of Health and
Medical Education of Iran, of whom 4,000 are
faculty members who work temporarily under conscription
law due to their commitment to free studying
at universities (7). The vital role of faculty
members in the efficiency, productivity and
performance of universities, institutes and
research centers, has urged the authorities
and academic directors to pay attention to their
demands with the aim of enhancing their satisfaction
in order to prevent undesirable effects on the
educational and research system of the country
(8-10). In Iran, in particular, with the recent
state of higher education and the challenges
it is facing due to the irrational and unusual
expansion of universities, the issue of the
quality of life of faculty members and their
job satisfaction has gained currency and become
one of the issues that should be considered
more seriously (10). In the meantime, and based
on the literature, the proportionality of the
salaries and benefits of faculty members with
their livelihoods is considered as one of the
most important factors in their satisfaction
(10-16). Therefore, this study was conducted
to determine how the salaries and benefits of
faculty members are calculated at the Ministry
of Health and Medical Education of Iran.
This
descriptive
and
analytical
study
was
conducted
in
2017
to
investigate
how
the
salaries
and
benefits
of
faculty
members
are
calculated
at
the
Ministry
of
Health
and
Medical
Education
of
Iran.
Research
data
were
collected
through
searching
published
articles
in
Iranian
reputable
sites
both
national
and
international,
including
(SID,
MAGIRAN,
PubMed,
Scopus,
and
ISI)
as
well
as
the
administrative
and
employment
regulations
of
faculty
members
of
universities
and
higher
education
institutions
affiliated
to
the
Ministry
of
Health
and
Medical
Education
of
Iran,
and
further
amendments
and
directives
in
this
regard.
The
salaries
of
faculty
members
in
Iran
are
determined
on
the
basis
of
the
salary
coefficient
announced
annually
by
the
government
of
the
Islamic
Republic
of
Iran
for
all
faculty
members
of
universities,
institutes
of
higher
education
and
public
research,
and
for
judges
of
the
Ministry
of
Justice
(To
the
Iranian
Rial
Currency/
1
US
dollar
=
41,000
Rials).
In
addition,
the
salaries
of
faculty
members
will
increase
with
regard
to
the
type
of
service,
the
increase
of
the
base
level,
promotion,
lack
of
specific
profit
activities
outside
university,
acquisition
of
managerial
positions,
marriage
and
having
children
for
men,
which
will
be
further
explained
in
more
detail
below.
Overall,
salaries
and
benefits
are
paid
to
the
faculty
members
in
three
general
ways:
firstly,
it
is
included
in
their
HR
notification
letters
of
all
faculty
members,
regardless
of
the
type
of
employment,
gender,
type
of
work,
etc.
In
addition
to
the
base
salary,
specific
allowance,
special
allowance,
attraction
allowance,
and
retirement
and
insurance
deductions
are
also
included
in
the
HR
notification.
Secondly,
it
is
again
included
in
the
HR
notification
letter
and
is,
according
to
the
type
of
work,
gender,
executive
position,
allowances
for
children,
management,
radiation,
full-time,
etc.
The
third
way,
which
is
not
included
in
the
faculty
member’s
HR
notification
letter,
is
according
to
the
contract
between
the
faculty
members
and
the
educational/medical
center
where
they
are
working.
The
most
important
cases
in
point
are
the
office
deprivation
allowance,
good
performance
allowance,
tuition,
etc.
According
to
the
formula
in
Table
1,
the
base
salary
is
calculated.
