在过去的25年里，澳大利亚的劳动力变得更加临时工化，今天大约有四分之一的劳动力从事临时工。高等教育部门是使用临时员工最多的部门之一，据估计，临时教师（在澳大利亚被称为会期教师）占总教学工作量的50%。本文的目的是研究与会期学术人员管理相关的流程。这项研究主要集中在一所大学，利用调查问卷和对会期学者及其管理者的采访。结果显示，全职学者的最大劳动法规与会期工作人员的最低法规并存。调查结果强调，为了学术人员自身和聘用他们的大学的利益，迫切需要改善学术人员的就业条件和管理。
Over the past 25 years, the Australian workforce has become more casualised, with approximately one-quarter of the workforce in casual employment today. One of the highest users of casual employees is the higher education sector, where casual academics (referred to as sessional in the Australian context) are estimated to account for 50% of the overall teaching load. The purpose of this article is to investigate the processes associated with the management of sessional academic staff. The study focuses on a single university, utilising a survey questionnaire and interviews with the sessional academics and their managers. The results depict a bifurcated system of maximum labour regulation for full-time academics alongside minimum regulation for sessional staff. The findings stress the urgency for improvement in both the employment conditions and management of sessional academic staff, both for their own benefit and the universities that employ them.
