Zastosowanie nieradialnego modelu SBM z ograniczeniami wag do pomiaru efektywności dydaktycznej w szkolnictwie wyższym
Application of the non-Radial SBM Model with Weight Restrictions for Measuring the Efficiency of Teaching Activity in Higher Education

Summary/Abstract: Objective: The article measures the efficiency of higher education didactic activities using a non-radial SBM model with weight restrictions. The analysis was performed on two levels, from the analysis of 59 public higher education institutions in Poland and 18 faculties of the Warsaw University of Technology in 2014. Research Design & Methods: A non-radial SBM model with weight restrictions (Slack Based Measure Assurance Region, SBM-AR) was used to assess efficiency. Findings: The results of the study indicate that, irrespective of the research assumption, only the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Gdańsk University of Technology and Wrocław University of Technology, in the case of universities, and the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology and the Faculty of Materials Science at the Warsaw University of Technology proved to be fully efficient units in all models and research approaches. Eight universities and three faculties were not fully efficient, though they were efficient in some respects. Implications / Recommendations: Imposing restrictions on the SBM weights made it possible to reduce the excess number of efficient universities present in the classical approach. Contribution: The study proves that adopting the appropriate DEA model determines the results of unit efficiency. Therefore, different models should be used in conjunctions with a comprehensive performance assessment based on them.
