Comparative Analysis of University Staffing Autonomy

Based on the analysis of selected material that considers university autonomy as the most important foundation for its operation, the article presents four areas of autonomy, namely academic autonomy, financial autonomy, organizational autonomy and staffing autonomy.Individual aspects of staffing autonomy are analyzed in more detail: employment procedures, salary system and salary setting policy, termination of employment, and procedures and criteria for promotion.The basic hypothesis of the article is that staffing autonomy is limited by the provisions of national legislation, which limit university autonomy as enshrined in European documents and constitutional provisions.Appropriate legal regulation should take into account the special position of the university and define the area of staffing autonomy of the university accordingly.
