碩士 / 東海大學 / 會計學系 / 96 / To promote operational performance of higher education institutions is an important issue for Taiwanese universities. This study applies Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to evaluate the operational efficiency and optimal resource allocation of 33 academic departments in Tunghai University, and to further explore the relationships between faculty resources, academic reputation, and operational performance of departments. Results show that the inefficiency of resource allocation co-exists with scale inefficiency in Tunghai University. In the long run, on average, overall departments can be saved 32.11 percent of education resources. In addition, the operational efficiency and reputation of departments in the college of liberal arts, management, and social sciences are superior to those of departments in the college of non-liberal arts, management, and social sciences. Regarding the association between faculty resources, academic reputation, and operational performance of departments, the number of full-time faculty has negative impact on the operational efficiency of departments, but can improve department’s reputation. On the other hand, the departments with higher proportions of assistant professors utilize less education resources, but have no significant impact on department’s reputation. The number of research plan has positive impact on the operational efficiency of departments, but has no significant impact on department’s reputation. The number of core journal articles not only has no significant impact on the operational efficiency of departments, but also has negative impact on department’s reputation. The number of book published by teachers has no significant impact on the operational efficiency of departments, but can improve department’s reputation. Finally, this study suggests that the authority can establish language center for Chinese language and foreign language teachers, which will contribute to a more accurate evaluation of operational performance for academic departments.
