Institutional identity is different.
First of all, there is a difference between civil servants and university teachers. In the past, university teachers were prepared as professional identities. However, with the advancement of the reform of public institutions, after 2020, although the public welfare nature of colleges and institutions will remain, the professional identity of college teachers will be transformed into contract employees. This means that the stability of university teachers may be reduced in the future. If university teachers are not active during the contract period, they will face the problem that the contract cannot be renewed after its expiration. As a civil servant, the current status is compiled by the state administrative organs and has not changed. The stability of civil servants is far stronger than that of university teachers.
The treatment is different.
University teachers and civil servants are also treated differently. The treatment of civil servants mainly comes from their own salary income. The allowances, subsidies and bonuses of civil servants are all part of the salary, and the composition of the salary is clearly stipulated by law. In this regard, the income of university teachers should be diversified. Under normal circumstances, university teachers need to undertake scientific research tasks and teaching tasks, and they are generally paid. Compared with civil servants, the salary income of university teachers is not much different. Those university teachers who are evaluated as associate professors or professors through their own efforts may be better than ordinary civil servants in salary income. At the same time, many university teachers are engaged in projects, and the project income far exceeds the salary income, and the treatment is higher than that of civil servants.
The nature of work is different.
There are also great differences between university teachers and civil servants in the nature of their work. Civil servant is a comprehensive post. Except for some technical posts, ordinary civil servants and institutions have no special requirements for the profession of civil servants. Under normal circumstances, civil servants only need to master strong writing skills and communication and coordination skills to be competent for their jobs. However, university teachers are particularly professional, and if they are not professionals, they can't be hired at all.
The sense of accomplishment is different.
University teachers and civil servants have different sense of accomplishment. As the former, the sense of accomplishment mainly comes from one's own academic research. For example, the award-winning project has high application value, which can not only bring income to university teachers, but also bring professional honor. In contrast, the sense of accomplishment of civil servants is often reflected in their authority, promotion, work performance and ability. It can be said that the sense of accomplishment of university teachers is based on academics, while the sense of accomplishment of civil servants is more comprehensive.
