Abstract-Effective human resource management can improve the performance of universities and also enhance its development. Many Chinese universities, which are carrying on the comprehensive reform nowadays, give higher priority to existing personnel management on their reform agendas. In order to have better performance excellence and achieve its strategic goal, a university has to transform the traditional personnel management into human resource management and development by motivating its staff better and making more use of the staff's potential. By analyzing key aspects of human resource management and development, the study concludes that strategic planning, staff recruitment, staff appointment, staff development, staff assessment and relevant support are indispensable, and also play as key factors to form a full-cycle management scheme of human resource management and development. Moreover, it is essential to enable all schools in a university to have substantial power on selecting, recruiting, developing, and evaluating its staff in order to better match their human resource with the development goals. The key of the success for the reform largely depends on the improvement of staff's dedication, professionalism and potentiality.
