It is the set policy of the state government to give priority to the development of education and higher education institutions have played and will continues to play a significant role in the transition from a country with a massive population to the human resources superpower. Academic staffs in research-oriented universities are the key to the core competitiveness of a higher education institution; therefore, it is of both urgency and utmost importance to improve the academic and research capabilities of the teachers and researchers so as to boost the holistic competitiveness of the research institution. A solution to it lies in the adoption of a well-constructed academic staff performance assessment system, which will integrate control. The system is aimed at creating a teaching and research context in which the academic staff can make a full play of their creativeness and initiatives to boost the development of teaching and research. Based on the characteristics of the teachers and the issues in the current practice of performance assessment, the paper proposes a design of the appraisal.
