1. General description of the study programme
The programme is realized in accordance with Law on Education, Law on Institutions
of Higher Education, Law on Professional Education, Rules of second level professional
higher education standard (Rules No 481), Profession standard “Personnel Manager”
confirmed by the Ministry of Education and Science on September 8, 2003 (registration No
PS 0204), Accreditation rules of higher education institutions and study programmes (Rules
No 442), as well as basic conditions on Latvian profession classification. Second level
professional higher education programme “Personnel Management” counts a total of 160
Latvian credit points.
The methodological basis of the study programme, which determines the key accents
of the programme contents, has been shaped by the conclusions of the leading specialists of
management and human resources, according to which the issue of human resources, taken
into account the rapid changing economical and political situation, is urgent in terms of a
successful strategic development of a company (Gratone, L., 2004.; Armstrong, M.A.,
Stephens T. A., 2005.; Nieto, M.L., 2006), the relation between strategy and resources of a
company is of high importance (Prahalad, C.& Hamel, G.; Grant, R.), so is an efficient use
of the personnel. The personnel consists of employees with social and psychological qualities,
which contributes to the urgency of coordination of personal goals of the employees and the
goals of the organization (Haslam, A., 2003, Haugh, H., McKee, L., 2004), which determine
the creation of personnel policy and is closely connected to issues of personality, organisation
and work psychology. Strategy of human resources management contributes a positive value
to the business, therefore analysis of successful practices of organisations (Nieto, M. L., 2006)
shows that the main urgent courses of personnel management are: output of new motivation
instruments; planning and optimisation of human resources; debates on personnel
development and evaluation; career planning; organisation of learning.
For the improvement of contents of the study programme latest research analysis on
human resources and personnel management in the world and in Europe has been used (2000
– 2007), which reflects the most urgent issues: work environment, development of
organisations, human capital, leadership, development of personnel potential, personnel
selection and career development, job rights and job security, which is related to the
reputation and corporative social responsibility of the organisation.
For the creation of contents of the study programme the most urgent courses of
Latvian Personnel management in managerial development have been taken into account:
juridical regulations of work relationships, salary policy and motivation systems in
companies, personnel study system, office work of personnel, coordination of personal goals
4
of employees and goals of the organisation, internal communication of the company and
instruments of human resource management, work security and protection, competence
models, employment of guest workers.
1.1. Aims and tasks of the study programme
Aim of the programme:
To prepare personnel managers, who would ensure management of human resources
according to the goals of the company and according to the normative acts of the Republic of
Latvia as well as the international normative acts, and in accordance with globalisation of
society, politics and economy and tendencies of labor force mobility.
Tasks of the programme:

To improve understanding of the students of economical processes in a company in
Latvia, in the European Union and worldwide;

To develop skills of future professionals to analyse and to forecast the tendencies of the
labor market and to use the acquired information in human resources management;

To develop skills to work out a personnel policy; to plan the personnel resources in
accordance with the strategy of the company; to introduce, lead, analyse, evaluate and
improve the management system of the company personnel (planning, selection, studying,
evaluation, motivation);

To develop skills to control the current work relationships in the Republic of Latvia, to
take into account requirements of normative acts within the company, to manage
personnel office-work; to control the improvement and implementation of job security
system in the company;

To develop skills to improve the organising structure in cooperation with managers of
other departments of the company and to organise change management in the field of
human resources;

To stimulate the students to constantly improve their professional skills and knowledge
(career development), to let them become competitors in the job market of Latvia and
other countries of the European Union;

To develop skills of students in business communication with the personnel and the
clients, by using at least two foreign languages and information technologies.
Contents of goals and tasks of the study programme 2006/2007 and 2007/2008 have
not been changed, although several editorial improvements have been made in the
5
formulations of goals and tasks, for example, the task on improving students’ understanding
of economical processes now also includes the concept of “the European Union”; the term
“training” is used instead of the term “studies”, because the term “training system” is being
used in the terminology of personnel management; the term “job protection” is substituted by
the term “job security”, which is a term that better describes the system and the process.
1.2. Rules of matriculation
The rules of matriculation conform to the requirements of paragraphs 46 and 47 of the
Law on Institutions of higher education of the Republic of Latvia, the Instruction No 8 of
November 27, 2003 by the Latvian Ministry of Education and Science, Instruction No 4 of
September 23, 2004 by the Latvian Ministry of Education and Science and Regulations No
846 of the Cabinet of Ministers on rules of acceptance in Latvian institutions of higher
education; “Conditions of acceptance and order of matriculation in full-time and part-time
studies” (Senate sitting decisions No 16-4 (23.10.2006.); No 29-3 (25.02.2008.), that regulate
students’ acceptance and matriculation in institutions of higher education. These regulations
provide for students who desire to study in professional study programme “Personnel
Management” should have sufficient marks in obligatory state examinations of secondary
education (Latvian language, Latvian literature, Foreign language) as well as subjects as
Mathematics, Informatics and Economics. If applicants have poor skills of computer use,
during the first semester they have to follow an additional course “Fundamentals of
Informatics”.
1.3. Duration of the study process
The total amount of credits in the programme is 160 Latvian credit points. One credit
point according to the Law on Higher education institutions foresees an amount of 40
academic working hours. According to the RTTEMA Senate decision No 26-6 in 2004 1
credit point is equal to 8 contact lessons and 32 hours of individual work.
Total duration of the programme is 4 years and 5 months. Structurual division of the
study programme can be found in the study programme plan (in Study department).

1.4. Realization places of the study programme
The programme is being realized in Riga and the following RTTEMA affiliates:
Aluksne, Kuldiga and Cesis. According to the demand and possibilities of RTTEMA,
realization of the study programme is planned in the affiliates of Tukums, Liepaja, Madona,
Jekabpils and Ventspils. This would ensure a more successful development of
entrepreneurship in Latvian regions as well as an improvement of state and municipal activity.
1.5. Requirements for acquirement of the qualification
The study programme “Personnel Management” is a second level professional higher
education programme, after the acquisition of which one receives a 5th level qualification
“Personnel Manager” (education classification code: 42435).
The qualification is awarded based on a completed study plan, defended internships’
works, passed qualification examination, defended diploma paper and in accordance with the
Conditions of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Latvia No 481, paragraph 15 of
November 20, 2001; Law on Proffesional education (10.06.1999), Law on Higher Education
Institutions (02.11.1995.). Requirements for the acquisition of the qualification are formed in
accordance with the specific, mutual and general requirements of the Profession standard.
After the acquisition of the programme the student receives a diploma of second level
professional education and the qualification “Personnel Manager”.
1.6. Expected results of knowledge, skills and attitudes form
The acquired competences which are defined as the expected results are listed in the
study course descriptions (see Appendix 1). Based on the fact that knowledge, skills and
attitudes form the contents of professional competences, each study course contains
competences in accordance with the Profession standard, which are specified as knowledge,
skills and attitudes (attitude is defined as usability in the Profession standard).
Conformity of the realization succession of the study contents to the Profession
standard is created in a manner that during the first study year the students would obtain an
impression of the personnel manager profession, would learn how to work with personnel
office documents, would intensively study foreign languages and information technologies,
which deal with research and the improvement of presentation skills, would develop research
skills by writing reports, essays and by working on research projects within the contents of
7
study courses. Management skills, understanding of legislation, economical regularities and
processes within a company are developed during the second study year by a practical
introduction to the duties of a personnel manager, comparing differences of personnel
management systems in various organisations, working out term papers, in which the skill of
problem defining is shown, finding sources for the description of the problem, creating advice
for the solution of various aspects of a problem. Special knowledge and skills in the direct
work of personnel manager are acquired during the third and the fourth study year, by
developing skills to analyze realization results of various departments of an organisation, by
working out term papers, by realizing practical tasks of comparing practise and qualification
of various departments of an organisation.
Summary of the expected results can be seen in Table 1 which shows the main
knowledge, skills and attitudes according to study fields. They are structured according to the
Profession standard and position of the Latvian Association for Personnel Management about
acquiring knowledge and developing professional skills in interconnected study fields.

2. Organization of the study programme
2.1. Change of study programme structure in the accreditation period
No significant changes have been made in contents of the study programme in
comparison to the accredited programme of 2006. Analysis of adequacy of the study courses
to the newest scientific and practical development tendencies has been carried out during
sittings of methodical commissions of Management and Economics, sittings of the
Department of Economics and Entrepreneurship, by introducing improvements in contents of
the study courses, in development of competences and in the list of acquired sources (See
Appendix 1). A new free choice study course “Innovations in Personnel Management” has
been created (an amount of 2 credit points, the aim of which is to deepen the students’
knowledge of the newest trends in personnel management in Latvia, the European Union and
in the world, to create understanding of innovative approaches in strategic planning of the
personnel, of assessment of the personnel, and of creation of a motivation system.
According to the recommendations of the previous accreditation commission, several
changes have been made in the division of courses into study years and semesters, thus
making the total amount of credit points equal to 18 credit points without changing the
principle of succession, t.i. first the student receives basic information and afterwards
develops his professional competences in one of the four study spheres: communication;
economics, entrepreneurship and management; psychology; jurisprudence. Changes in the
structure and planning of the study programme made during the accreditation period are
shown in the Table 2.

A more detailed substantiation of the changes in planning can be found in the selfassesment report of the study programme for the year 2007 (Senate documentation).
2.2. Adequacy of the study programme planning to the goals and tasks of
the institution of higher education
Professional
second
level
higher
education
study
programme
“Personnel
management” corresponds with the goal of the higher educational institution (RTTEMA) – to
enable the students to acquire higher professional or academic education in the fields of
pedagogy, psychology, business and management, to prepare students for a motivated
professional activity and continuous self-development.
According to the defined goal of the higher educational institution the study
programme contains study course blocks, internships, which ensure the necessary knowledge,
skills, attitudes in accordance with the Profession standard as well as development of
students’ investigative activity.
In accordance with the defined strategy of the academy that the study programme is
based on intelligence, competence, professionality, the study programme includes such
comprehensive study courses as Culture issues of Latvian language, Logic, Philosophy,
optional study courses: Rhetoric; competence and professionality is developed by theoretical
courses of the sphere, study courses of professional specialization, internships, providing the
12
connection of the academy’s aims with the knowledge, skills and understanding defined in the
Standards of the Profession.
The philosophy definition of the academy states that it is necessary to provide
implementation and use of modern information technologies, creativity, integration of
theoretical studies and internships. The study programme “Personnel management” (12 CP)
includes studies of information technologies: Information Technology in Personnel
Management (8 CP) and Information Systems in Personnel Management (4 CP); information
technologies are used also in the development of e-studies, studies of foreign languages,
research work of leacturers and students and improvement of presentation skills. Creativity is
developed by introducing students with innovative approaches to analysis and forecasting of
economic and management processes, including such study courses as Innovation in
Personnel Management, Interaction Training, Business Games Methods. Integration of theory
and practice is ensured by active internships in amount of 26 CP and independent work in the
framework of study courses (see Appendix 1) which are developed in a way that students
would learn to use the knowledge acquired in studies of literature and sources in
implementation of practical tasks, for example, analysis of experience, analysis of situations,
development of a research project.
2.3. System for the ensuring of internal quality of the study programme
Internal quality of the study programme is ensured in the following directions:

In order to provide constant improvement of study course descriptions, a logical
succession of information and mutual connection between blocks of management,
marketing, finance, mathematics, computer knowledge and international study courses
constantly active methodical commissions are established in the Department of
Economics and Entrepreneurship. Statutes on methodical commission and a list of
managers and participants can be found at the Department of Economics and
Entrepreneurship. In January 2008 a seminar of methodical commissions on students’
competence development in study courses was organized, as a result of which a list of
competences acquired in each study course was produced, study work forms and lists of
literature sources were specified.
There has been analysis of the conformity of the study course content with the up to
date development trends of science and practice carried out in meetings of the methodological
commissions of the Department of Management and Economics and meetings of the
Department of Management and Economics, implementing the improvements:
13
1) In the content of study courses: for example, public relations in the context of
corporate social responsibility (Business communication, Public relations, Personnel
management); development of a modern world outlook using modern thinking
technologies (Logic, Fundamentals of phylosophy); scientific language style
according to the up to date requirements (Latvian Language Culture Issues);
adaptation of employees in enterprise, prospects of the personnel management
development, scientifically justified study of personnel management issues (Personnel
management, Scientific Research Methods); psychological contract, violence at work
(Organization and management psychology); qualitative research methodology
(Scientific Research Methods, Statistics); Lifelong learning trends (Adult Study
Methods); Use of possibilities provided by the European Union structural funds and
European Social Fund in projects (Project management); migration of human
resources and employment policy in Latvia and European Union (Labour Situation in
Latvia and the EU);
2) In development of competences: competences to study have been specified according
to the requirements of the Profession standard, emphasizing organizational,
communicative and personal (awareness and improvement of individual competence,
possibilites and limits) competence;
3) In the list of literature sources: the most significant up to date literature available at the
RTTEMA library, as well as references about data basis and web pages have been
specified (see course descriptions in Appendix 1).

Quality and the desirable dynamics of development of the study programme are ensured
by a regular programme analysis in the department of Economics and Entrepreneurship
(DEE) Council of Department of Management and Economics (DME) as well as in the
annual selfassesment report confirmed at the RTTEMA Study Council and Senate until
May, 31 of each year. Changes in the study plan are confirmed in the Council of
Department of Management and Economics.

Internal quality of the programme is ensured through regular discussions of programme
director with the study course lecturers on issues regarding realization, organization and
improvement of the study programme. Lecturers are introduced to the results of student
inquiries and questions on programme improvement are discussed in working groups of
lecturers (field of personnel management, field of psychology, field of economics and
management), individual meetings on inquiry results and improvement of study course
lecturing are organized with participation of the programme director and lecturers.

Participation of students in the study process is ensured as follows: the programme
director meets representatives of study groups once a month; surveys are conducted
14
among students, in which students rate the overall study programme as well as separate
courses and lecturers. Through this feedback students are able to express their opinion and
wishes on the study programme and the quality of its organization.

Fields of responsibility of the structural units have been specified, which ensures a
qualitative realization of the study process in all affiliates of the institution of higher
education and determines the zones of mutual interaction between the structural units as
well as the responsibility for separate stages of realization of the study process.

Several RTTEMA structural units are involved in the realization of the study programme:
-
Department of Economics and Entrepreneurship;
-
Department of Information Technologies and Nature Sciences;
-
Department of Education and Social Psychology;
-
Department of Languages;

3. Realization of the study programme
3.1. Study methods and forms that ensure the acquisition of the study
contents
In the process of realization of the study programme various study methods and work
organization forms are used during the contact lessons. Students are offered various kinds of
individual work and instructions for its accomplishment. Precise information on how the
implementation of study points is ensured in each study course as well as detailed course
descriptions of the study programme can be found in Appendix 1.
No significant changes have been made in the use of study methods and forms of the
study programme in the past two years. Development of the launched e-study course of the
programme “Psychology of Organizations” and “Fundamental of Management”should be
mentioned as an important innovation.
After a general evaluation of the practical realization of the programme one should
mention that, similarly to the previous self-evaluation, study methods and forms are used
which are in accordance with the specifics of the study programme: lecture-room classes
(lectures, seminars, discussions, situation analysis (case study), business games), group work,
individual work, consultation and tests. For the testing of individual work seminars, test work,
presentations and essays are used. In comparison to the previous accreditation period more
mini-projects are organized, which are carried out by a group of students (3-5 persons)
according to the contents of the study course in companies; more targeted use is made of
gaining information through data bases in individual work, more attention is paid to the
development of students’ presentation skills by using information technologies.
The choice of a particular study method is dependent on the specifics of each study
course. RTTEMA IS (information system) contains study materials which allow the students
to acquire individual themes which are defined in study course descriptions.
3.2. Study achievement evaluation system
(Evaluation methods: justification of choices and result analysis)
In the period of self-evaluation no significant changes can be distinguished in the
process of evaluating students’ skills and knowledge. Knowledge and skills are assessed in
accordance with the RTTEMA Regulation of Examinations confirmed at the sitting of
RTTEMA Senate (resolution No 26-13) on October 29, 2007. The regulation defines basic
17
principles of evaluation of programme acquisition as well as basic forms of evaluation
(test/examination). Basic principles of evaluation introduced in the regulation conform to the
regulations No 481 “Regulations on second level professional higher education state
standard” of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Latvia enforced on November 20,
2001 as well as to the requirements of Law on Institutions of higher education.
The course of testing depends on the specifics and range of each study course and on
collaboration between lecturers and students in order to be able to recognize and assess the
students’ knowledge, skills and attitudes towards the acquired information and the process of
development of professional competences. Development of analytical evaluation system in
study courses can be mentioned as an innovation of the study programme. It means that in a
consecutive way during the implementation of the course, by accomplishing the independent
work and participating in seminars, students receive evaluation that amounts to a particular
percentage from the final mark – in such a way, more precise development of knowledge,
skills and usability in competencies to be acquired is implemented. A specified system of
analytical evaluation can be found in descriptions of study courses in Appendix 1.
Examinations and tests are organized in both written (tests, essays, reports, projects)
and oral form – in accordance with today’s education tendencies in Europe, t.i. discussions
and debates, student readings, group work, presentations of research results. Lecturers of the
study programme determine the assessment form and the assessment procedure according to
the goal of each study course. Indications of study course assessment forms can be found in
the study course descriptions in Appendix 1.
State examination, which include work with Diploma papers and their presentations,
qualification exam - examination by a state commission of experts on a 10 point system.
After analyzing students’ state examination average grades and division of results in
percent in RTTEMA affiliates it can be noted that no significant proof can be distinguished
that students’ skills and knowledge are equal at all affiliates in which the study programme is
being realized.
Structure of the State examination commission is suggested by department of
Management and Economy in the council meeting, it is approved by rector, and is in
accordance with the regulation “RTTEMA regulation of examinations in study programmes”
confirmed during the RTTEMA Senate sitting (resolution No 26-13) on October 29, 2007.
and regulations MK Nr. 481 (34.p.) of necessity to provide state examination commission,
where half of members are representing professional organizations or employers, ans.
After completion of state examinations conclusions of the chair of the commission and
of the branch specialists concerning the successes and failures in state examination
18
organization as well as conformity of quality of students’ knowledge and presentations to the
acquired specialization are summarized.
In the qualification examination students must show their knowledge in both
theoretical and specialty courses and demonstrate the skill to connect theoretical conclusions
with practical examples as well as their presentation skills. During the preparation for the
qualification examination students are informed about the requirements of state examinations
and are provided with at least two consult-lessons before the examination.
In the diploma work the students must be able to acknowledge their professional
knowledge and their scientific research skills. Students produce the diploma work on an
urgent theme which is chosen from the thematic fields and confirmed at the Council of the
Department of Management and Economics. Diploma work is initially consulted and assessed
by a supervisor, whereas after its completion this is done by a reviewer. Defense of the
diploma work takes place in the presence of qualification commission.
Diploma of second level professional higher education is received by the students who
have successfully passed all tests in all study courses during their studies (rated no lower than
4 points), as well as passed all state examinations, defended internship reports and three
scientific reports: two term papers and one scientific project.
Defence of the diploma paper is carried out in the presence of the state examination
commission.

Study programme of RTTEMA is similar in the following aspects:
1) Points (160 credits – in comparison with RTU); basic structure including study
courses granting qualifications “Personnel Manager” or “Human Resources Manager”;
2) In comparison with the study programme of RTU – equal scope of internship;
3) Similar proportion (in comparison with RTU) for gaining knowledge and skills in four
inter-related subject areas: law, economics, business and management,
communication, psychology; also similar to the study areas at the Kingston
University.
Study programmes are different in the following aspects:
1) RTU programme puts more emphasis on teaching exact sciences (mathematics,
statistics), while RTTEMA programme as a key characteristic has different division of
study courses in courses of comprehensive education, theoretic sectoral key courses,
professional sectoral specialisation courses and courses of free choice, numerous study
courses of similar content or title are planned in different study blocks;
2) RTTEMA study programme “Personnel Management” puts more emphasis on courses
of comprehensive education that extends the horizon of students and develops
communication skills.
3) The internship at Kingston University that can be compared with qualification
internship, is 1 year long – overall, the internship has more weight in comparison to
other study courses.

5.2. Employers’ statement on alumni employment for the next 6 years
Situation in Latvia at this moment shows that managements of Latvian companies
have a hard time to keep qualified and less qualified employees at the work place. According
to several investigations and analytical articles in the Latvian press (for example “Karjeras
Diena”, „Dienas Bizness”), and according to the project “Tendencies of personnel
management science development in Latvia, the European Union and worldwide” (RTTEMA,
2006.), in contradistinction to the situation in the 90s when the employer had a determinative
role in the employee choice, at the moment employees are the ones determining the rules to
the employer. This is being done through determining own salary, demanding an ergonomical
work environment and an attractive bonus system as well as high social guarantees.
Corporative social responsibility with an emphasis on human resource management has
become a pending matter. At the current situation an employer who would want to keep and
develop his business has to think about professional management in his company. Therefore
demand of professional personnel managers in the labor market has grown significantly. This
is proved by the fact that the press and the Internet often feature job advertisements that invite
personnel managers and personnel specialists. A few years ago these kinds of advertisements
were rare and most employers saw personnel managers simply as personnel office-work
managers with no special education. Competitiveness of alumni on the labor market, inquiries
conducted among alumni and employers and the fact that Latvia still lacks professional
managers with a special education are factors that prove the necessity of the study
programme. It should be noted that according to the situation in the labor market in the past
year the image of personnel manager and personnel specialist professions has improved.
Nowadays human resource management is being given ever more attention and investments
in human capital have sharply risen.
In personnel training and development forum (Riga, 2008), Personnel management
congresses: “Purposeful organisation" (Riga, 2008), “Valuable organisation" (Riga, 2007),
“Attractive organisation" (Riga, 2006) it has been acknowledged that, depending on the
situation in the labour market, the prestige of the profession of a personnel manager and
personnel specialist has increased in the recent years in Latvia, since more and more attention
is devoted to human resources management and investments in human capital are growing
fast. Similar information has been gained in discussions with heads of local governments in
the towns of Kuldīga and Alūksne (2008); discussion with Ilona Kiukucāne (2008), expert on
education and employment of the Latvian Employers’ Confederation.

6. Students
6.1. Number of students in the programme
At the beginning of the study year 2006/2007 159 students started the studies; at the
end of the study year the programme counted 76 students. 58 students are ex-matriculated
according to the conclusion of the studies in February 2007. Some (3 students) have
temporally discontinued the studies. 41 students started their studies in the first semester, but
the actual studies are continued by 23 students at this moment (reasons why studies were not
continued: tuition fee is too high; wrong timing; impossible to combine studies with work and
personal life; learning difficulties – in individual studies, passing tests and examinations); 9
students were discharged for not paying the tuition fee.

When looking for solutions to decrease the tendency to discontinue the studies during
the first study year, motivation discussions are held with future students and a detailed
introduction to the requirements of personnel manager qualification is given during the first
semester of the first study year within the study course “Personnel Management”; meetings
with the director and the secretary of the programme are organized in order to solve issues
connected to the study process; there is an introduction to the library resources at RTTEMA,
University of Latvia and the Latvian National Library; opportunities to use information
technologies are explained.
6.2. Number of matriculated students in during the first study year
In the beginning of study year 2007/2008 43 students started the studies in the first
semester and 40 students started the studies in the fifth semester in accordance with the study
continuation after finishing first level higher education study programme “Office Work
Organization”.
6.3. Number of graduates
In the study year 2008/2008 there were 36 graduates of the studies.
6.4. Student inquiries; analysis of inquiries
Self-evaluation report contains an analysis of student inquiry results held at the
RTTEMA departments of Management and Economics in November-December 2007. In the
following text student inquiry results are shown in accordance with the main questions of
study programme improvement.
37
What was your motivation to choose this study programme:
Students’ own choice is the dominant answer which is a significant factor of a successful
realization of responsibility for the study process; results show possible ways how to advertise
the study programme. Other ways of advertising according to the students are: advertising
folders, information at the work place (alumni of the programme).

A significant factor for the improvement of the study programme is information on
how students evaluate their choice to study at RTTEMA Personnel Management programme
and the study process in general, therefore the questionnaire contains questions which would
help to find answers to these questions.

In total 75% of the students are satisfied with their choice, which reflects the meaning
of the existence of this study programme. It is significant that half of the respondents label
their choice as good and 20% of them as very good.

The results are satisfactory enough for this study programme to be productive however
40% of the respondents indicate the programme as average which gives the programme
improvement possibilities. These are discussed with the lecturers individually, during
department meetings, during meetings of the Department of Management and Economics and
in working groups of methodical commissions in the following fields: how to show the
essence of the study course in practice; how to develop students’ skills to work individually
(more attention is paid to the skills of collecting and analyzing information, practical
exercises are offered, an analytical assessment of study achievements is introduced); how to
produce qualitative methodic material in both printed and electronic form to stimulate
students’ individual work (3 study materials of this kind have been produced for the study
courses “Personnel management” and “Organizational Psychology”); how to connect the
contents of study courses to the specifics of the job of personnel manager (once per study year
study course descriptions are improved).

The results are satisfactory enough to conclude that in general the organization of
study process ensures the realization of the tasks of the study programme. Compared to
survey result in the previous accreditation period, it can be concluded that this process was
evaluated as being “good” by more students (64%), however also more students thought that
this process is “poor” (25%); in this self-evaluation period 12.5% of the respondents
considered the organisation of the study process to be unsatisfying. This highlighted a task: to
establish purposeful, regular cooperation among the programme director, heads of
departments and planners of the study process, by updating plans and providing for
alternatives to ensure a foreseeable progress of the process, which was achieved when starting
the academic year 2008 /2009.

The results are satisfactory enough to say that the material means of the study process
can be qualified as good. The answer “average” in 37,5% of cases is connected to the opinion
that better lighting, cozier chairs and more modern computer equipment is needed. In the
40
previous self- evaluation period satisfaction with technical equipment was lower: 36%
evaluated it as being "good".

The results show that this factor is relatively more problematic and it is necessary to
purposefully organize the lecturers’ work in the creation of study methodical material. The
RTTEMA library fund should be continuously supplemented with necessary contemporary
literature. After talking to students it was clear to see that unfortunately they seldom use the
library fund and the accessible www.apa.org data base, therefore lecturers should organize
individual work more purposefully by giving tasks (essays, research analysis, reports,
research projects) which would require use of data bases.

15,0%
2,5%

32,5%
The results show that in general students describe their possibilities as good and very
good. According to discussions with students, answers “average” and “poor” are connected
41
with the intensity of computer use, as it is not always possible for students to have access to
the computers.
A significant question „How do you rate your possibilities to take part in the completion
of the study process”. Student answers were dominated by the opinion that there are
possibilities but they have not used them up to this day, according to 85% of the respondents.
The main reasons are as follows: an opinion that it is the duty of the administration and the
course senior; disbelief that students’ opinion could affect the study process (year 4). Only
one student (year 4) thinks that there are practically no possibilities to take part in this process
at all. First course students are more pronounced in saying that they are aware of their rights
and try to use them and are able to participate in the completion of the study process (12% of
the respondents).
Students recognize the courses Personnel Management, Fundamentals of Marketing,
English, Personnel Office-Work, Information Technologies in the Work of Personnel
Manager, psychology study courses, especially Work Psychology, Work Legacy and Work
Security, Sociology and Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship Rights as the most significant
courses of the specialty. In the previous self-evaluation period the key study courses were
named law, record-keeping, psychology, foreign languages. This means that the importance of
personnel management, IT has increased in the eyes of the students.
Positions in the job market are rated as follows by those who do not yet work in
their field (20% of the respondents already do): 50% of the respondents believe that there will
be problems to find a job in the specialty; other 50% do not think so. In discussions with
students reasons for these doubts were specified: doubts about chances to find a job in the
specialty are connected to students’ opinion on the satiation of the job market, however the
projections of Latvian Professional Personnel Management Association show that personnel
management specialists are demanded. Students often do not have information on job market
vacancies; therefore the study process should show the possibilities of gaining this
information. Part of the students (in the 5th year approximately 4-5 people) experience doubts
in this question because of the feeling of not being efficiently prepared for the job of
personnel manager. These opinions lead to the task: study course contents (especially in the
theoretical and professional specialty courses of the field) should be modeled to the practice
of personnel manager with more conformity by using interactive study forms and realization
of mini projects connected to practice.
In the inquiry students gave their advice on the completion of the study programme
and the most significant advice is:
to create a lecture planning for the semester, the planning should be more regular in order not
to rush the acquisition of courses (the question is discussable and should be solved in a
42
collaboration between the programme director, lecturers and planners of the study process;
logics of study course realization should form the basis of the planning, which is not always
taken into account because of the lecturers’ workload division); less changes in the planning;
less library days (library days are planned purposefully, although it means that lecturers
should continue explaining the purpose of library days, giving concrete tasks, the completion
of which would require library days. Process of organizing library days at the Latvian
National library has been started in the study programme.
There were also important proposals to involve professional experts working in personnel
management in lectures to an even higher extent, particularly in giving lectures on the study
courses like quality management, project management. Also in the previous self- evaluation
period there was a problem with the possibilities to learn the skills of project management,
therefore these courses are provided by lecturers practically working with quality systems and
in project management.
6.5. Participation of students in improving the study process
Each study group has appointed a student representative who participates in the group
established by the programme director, where once a quarter topical issues for improving the
study process are discussed, e.g., implementation of proposals expressed in student surveys,
issues concerning organisation of internships and their progress; content and course of the
qualification examination, topicality of the course paper and diploma paper topics,
possibilities for conducting research in organisations and necessity to increase number of
contact hours in the study course “Statistics” to improve the skills to digitally process and
analyse data obtained in a research. Students are actively looking for internship possibilities
and assist in establishing a long-term cooperation between the educational establishment and
the organisation where the student has his/her internship.
Students are involved in conducting research studies and implementing projects (see
information in Section 3.3), participate in seminars and conferences organised by RTTEMA,
also they make use of the possibilities offered by their employers and afterwards share the
experience gained with their peers in the class. In April 2008 3rd-year students Inita Ozoliņa
and Ilze Galvanovska participated in the Personnel training and development forum 2008, and
afterwards informed within the study course "Innovation in Personnel Management” on the
experience gained.
Representatives of study groups are invited to the meetings of the departments and of
DEM Council, if issues in relation to implementation of the study programme are being
43
discussed, for example, approval of topics for course papers and diploma papers, also to
analyse more comprehensively the study process and provide for a high-quality information
exchange between the teaching staff and the students.
Students take part in the self- evaluation processes of study programmes, in drafting
the self- evaluation report and its discussion in the meeting of the DEM Council.
Once per academic year student surveys are conducted on the progress of study
process and possibilities for its improvement.
44
7. Evaluation of academic personnel
7.1. Numerical structure of academic personnel
During the period of self-evaluation the structure of academic personnel has changed,
but similarly to the previous self-evaluation period the division of academic personnel in the
study programme corresponds with Regulations No 133 on the order of study programme
realization in the institution of higher education determined by Cabinet of Ministers on March
8, 2004 and with Regulations No 821 on the requirements of academic personnel.
The study process is provided by 41 lecturers: 4 professors; 4 associated professors, 6
university lecturers, 25 lecturers; 14 from the lecturers have a PhD in Science (32%), one is
currently involved in doctoral studies. From all the lecturers employed in the study
programme 25 lecturers have RTTEMA as the place of their basic election (61%).

7.2. Conformity of the qualification of academic personnel to the realization
of aims and tasks of the structural unit
Structure of the academic personnel during the period of self-evaluation corresponds
with the requirements of study programme realization at RTTEMA: for 61% of the lecturers
RTTEMA is the work place of basic election, the necessary minimum amount of doctor’s
degree holders is ensured (34%). A significant factor is that the profiled study course
“Personnel Management” is taught by practicians who are employed at RTTEMA: Mg. psych.
S. Enkuzena – „SWED WOOD LATVIA” Ltd. manager of human resources; Mg. psych. B.
Skrauce – „Kalnozols” Ltd. manager of Personnel department; Mg. sc. soc. A. Miķelsone –
director of the Department of Personnel Management of the Ministry of Regional
Development and Local Government.
However, after analyzing the development of the study programme and its provision
of scientific doctor’s degree holders in general (in all study years there are study groups in
Riga, study groups in the affiliates of Aluksne, Cesis, Kuldiga and Tukums), one can
45
conclude that at least 12 more scientific doctor’s degree holders should be actively involved
in the study programme. Alternatives can be found at RTTEMA by involving scientific
doctors from the Department of Pedagogy and Psychology who are competent to lecture
particular study courses. A. Vignere is planning to defend her doctor’s dissertation in 2008.
However, a significant condition of development of the study programme is doctoral studies
of the tutors and obtaining a doctor’s degree. A problem occurs because practicing specialists
can only continue working as part-time lecturers (which increases the necessary number of
lecturers for the realization of the programme) during the doctoral studies. In study year
2008/2009 A.Mikelsone and S. Enkuzena are planning to begin doctoral studies.
7.3. Policy of selecting, renewing and instructing the academic personnel
The following policy of academic personnel structure creation is produced and
realized at RTTEMA:

to guarantee the fact that all study courses are taught by qualified, scientifically and
methodically prepared lecturers, who use modern working methods and have good
knowledge of business in practice, therefore competitions are launched for the open
positions of lecturers, associated professors and professors;

to guarantee the fact that no less than 50% of lecturers are employed at their principal
work;

specialists in personnel management are involved in implementation of professional
sectoral specialisation study courses, also visiting lecturers are invited that are seasoned
professionals in theory and practice (e.g., lecturer of the University of Latvia Silvija
Kristapsone gives lectures in the study course “Statistics”, she has extensive experience
in the area of statistics and economics, management sciences);

to stimulate training of teachers by financing courses which raise qualification, Master
and doctoral studies.
Lecturers of the study programme regularly raise their qualification by participation in
various seminars and courses both as participants and leaders. In the field of personnel
management a significant condition is for RTTEMA to become a juridical member of the
Latvian Personnel Management Association (12.12.2008.), which would ensure frequent
training for the lecturers during the seminars organized by the association.
46
8. Financial sources
The professional study programme is a paid programme. The main sources of
programme financing are the personal financial means or means connected to a juridical
person and financial means envisaged for realization of projects by RTTEMA and Ministry of
Education and Science of Latvia.
Until the accreditation of the study programme students are given a chance to take a
student loan to cover the tuition fee. After the accreditation the students will have a chance to
be a candidate of the loan guaranteed by the state (tuition fee loan and students’ loan) covered
by a credit institution.
Spatial means
The study process of the RTTEMA professional study programme “Personnel
Managemnet” takes place at Imantas 7. linija and in part-time study affiliates in Aluksne,
Bauska, Cesis, Jekabpils, Kuldiga, Liepaja, Madona, Tukums and Ventspils. RTTEMA
technical material base ensures the necessary preconditions for the realization of the study
2
process. The total area of RTTEMA premises is 7758 m :

9.1. Collaboration partners and activities
Students actively participate in the search for an internship and willingly help to create long-term
collaboration for both RTTEMA and the organization where practical tasks are being realized.
RTTEMA has signed an agreement on internship places with various types of
organizations and institutions for a provision of internship places for students. Among those
organizations are state and local institutions, institutions of medical care, institutions of public
catering. For exapmle: “DC Holding” Inc.; affiliates of SEB Unibanka, Parex banka and
Hansa banka; Council of Olaine city; Latvian post office; VUGD Aluksne Brigade; Council
of Cesu city; Jelgava region board, “Nagleks” Ltd.
Part-time students’ internship places usually coincide with their permanent work places.
At each study affiliate internship agreements are signed which shows that students are secured
of internship places and students are actually employed in the profession of their choice.
If
necessary collaboration with Employer’s Confederation of Latvia gives an opportunity to
provide internship places to the students who due to various reasons are not able to complete
the internship tasks at their permanent work place.
In terms of the collaboration agreement signed with the Institute of Economics of the
Latvian Academy of Science RTTEMA lecturers attend seminars organized by the institute.

regional entrepreneurs a project is realized which is directed to the collaboration between
entrepreneurs and RTTEMA students and candidates for a doctor’s degree. During meetings
concrete problems are identified which are interesting for the regional entrepreneurs and serve
as directions for students’ scientific work. In collaboration with RTTEMA candidates for a
doctor’s degree students search for problem solutions and reflect those in their individual
work. In conclusion regional entrepreneurs and representatives of the Institute of Economics
of Latvian Academy of Science will be invited to the presentations of RTTEMA students and
candidates for doctor’s degree.

9.3. Collaboration with employers
The collaboration with Employer’s Confederation of Latvia (collaboration agreement)
and with Latvian Personnel Management Association (RTTEMA is a juridical member of the
association) is of high importance and includes subjects like choosing urgent themes for
diploma work and conducting diploma work research. As a result of cooperation, a list of
topical subject areas for research has been drawn up, which extends the scope of already
existing research topics (see Section 3.3), putting emphasis on elaboration of actual projects.
The topics were communicated to the students already in the academic year 2008/2009 when

The Department of Management and Economics has signed an agreement with
“Hansabanka” Inc. on provision of internship opportunities.
In order to improve the study programme inquiries are conducted among employers
that stimulate the conformity of the programme to the requirements of the labor market. The
latest employers’ inquiry was conducted in October 2007. Aim of the inquiry was to acquire
the opinion of current and potential students’ employers about the level of knowledge and
skills of students and the conformity of the programme contents to the employers’
requirements. Results of the inquiries are obtained by summarizing data from 65 employers’
questionnaires. Various types of enterprises and organizations took part in the inquiry – both
54
state governance institutions and municipalities as well as private enterprises: Latvian Post
Office, city and region municipalities, frameworks of state governance, out patient clinics and
health care centers, branch banks, State Fire security service department, Baltic Sea Port etc.
Most of the respondents acknowledge that a determinant factor of employee choice is
the level of their skills, appropriate education in the specialty and motivation. Most of the
respondents recognize the students’ conformity with the job requirements as very good and
even excellent, with only a small part of the respondents describing it as average. 85 % of the
respondents rate the employees’ skills to use the theoretical knowledge and practical skills at
the work place as good and excellent, with only two respondents rating these as poor.

10. Development plan of the study programme and SWOT
analysis
Strengths
1. The study programme conforms with the standards of Latvian legislation and to the
praxis of European institutions of higher education.
2. The profession is demanded in the labor market – this is shown in statistics of Latvian
Association for Personnel Management and inquiries of alumni.
3. Professional lecturers are employed in the programme.
4. Regular study course improvement takes place.
5. Various study methods and forms are used by lecturers for the realization of study
courses.
6. Structural units of RTTEMA cooperate in the realization of the programme, the
cooperation with RTTEMA Institute of Psychology Research is especially useful in
the adaptation of research methods.
7. Cooperation with employers for a provision of internship places, state qualification
examination commission and diploma work defense commission, conclusions on
improvement of the study programme obtained from employers, t.i. diploma work
practical research improvement: necessity to develop students’ skills to distinguish
problematic questions, research and analyze processes in an organization and work out
actual advice in personnel management; necessity to develop students’ skills in
making connections between theoretical cognitions and practical situations; necessity
to improve the quality of the study courses necessary in contemporary personnel
management “Quality management” and “Project management”.
8. Study programme is being realized at times and places suitable for the students in Riga
and affiliates.
9. Scientific research projects: in 2006 participation in the project “Development of
personnel management science in Latvia, the EU and worldwide” (A. Lasmane, S.
Enkuzena, A. Miķelsone, B. Skrauce) of the subprogramme No 03.15.00 “Provision
and development of scientific infrastructure in institutions of higher education”of the
Latvian Ministry of Education and Science; in 2007 application for the project
“Human resource management and development of its investigation methods” has
been sent (A. Lasmane, S. Enkuzena, A. Miķelsone, B. Skrauce, I. Krustozoliņa) for
the subprogramme No 03.15.00 “Provision and development of scientific
infrastructure in institutions of higher education”of the Latvian Ministry of Education
and Science. Within the project “Development of personnel management science and
56
practice in Latvia, the EU and worldwide” a study material “Development of
personnel management science and practice in Latvia, the EU and worldwide” has
been created, which is used in the study course “Personnel Management”; a scanner
has been purchased to provide all materials necessary for the study process; two study
books popular around the world have been purchased Furnham, A. The People
Business. – New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2005. – 206. un Nieto, M.L. An
Introduction to Human Resource Management. – New York: Palgrave Macmillan,
2006. – 284.
10. Participation of programme lecturers in European Social Fund projects.
11. RTTEMA becoming a member of Latvian Personnel Management Association.
Weaknesses
1. The relatively low proportion of lecturers who are holders of scientific degrees in
management sciences and only a minimum of necessary doctor’s degree holders in the
study programme.
2. Low number of attended foreign seminars and academic missions; cooperation with
foreign institutions of higher education with study programmes of human resource
management is not well developed.
3. Incomplete provision of the material technical base at RTTEMA affiliates – there
should be more complete library funds which conform to the requirements of study
programme realization and accessibility of data bases.
4. Comparatively satisfactory use of the newest study technologies in the study process.
5. Insufficient provision of methodical materials for students’ individual work.
6. Limited possibilities to involve high level professionals in the realization of the study
programme: requirements of the Law on Institutions of higher education on lecturers’
scientific degrees, financial support.
Dager of realizing the study programme: decreasing of the number of students in
Latvia, students’, who are working, facilities to participate in research work and studies in
partner institutions abroad.
Most urgent development tasks of the study programme:
1. To inform the society about the opportunities offered by the RTTEMA study programme
“Personnel Management” with the help of mass media.
2. To establish common scientific research activity among lecturers of the study programme
in the field of human resources management in cooperation with Latvian Personnel
Management Association, Riga Technical University.
57
3. To organize regular meetings – once every two months – of the lecturers’ work groups
involved in the realization of the study programme for the improvement of the
technological means of the study process.
4. To purposefuly organize programme’s lecturers studying in cooperative institutions of
higher education and to purposefully organize guest lectures of lecturers from the
cooperative institutions for RTTEMA students and lecturers;
5. To take part in seminars of the Central and East European Management network
association (once a year at least one lecturer).
6. To widely involve students into activities of scientific research, to motivate students to
participate in projects, conferences and seminars; to use opportunities to study and do
internships in other countries.
7. To research opinions of “Personnel Management” alumni about the preferable Master
programme model in the field of RTTEMA personnel management in 2007 (JulySeptember), to create a professional Master study programme “Human Resource
Management” in cooperation with Latvian Personnel Management Association and
license it in 2008.
8. To motivate alumni to pursue studying in a Master’s programme: preferable results – at
least 50% of the alumni should obtain a Master’s degree in appropriate RTTEMA study
programmes or programmes of other institutions of higher education.
9. To provide in cooperation with Latvian Personnel Management Association the students
of the programme with qualification internships in organizations which are members of
Latvian Personnel Management Association.
10. To organize study visits to companies for students within the study course “Personnel
Management” to develop the activity of personnel department.
11. To stimulate interest in the study programme among employers in cooperation with
Employers’ Confederation of Latvia.
12. To provide continuation of studies in the study programme “Personnel Management” for
the students who have completed the programme “Office-Work Organisation” in the
affiliates of Kuldiga and Tukums.
In order to provide the development of the study programme in the academy, the
Development Plan of the Study Programme for the period from 2008 to 2010 is drawn up.
