摘要：AbstractThis paper presents the results of a study on the actual notional hours of workload for academicians at the Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment (FKAB) of University Kebangsaan Malaysia. The study is aimed at ascertaining the hours allocated for teaching, supervising postgraduate and undergraduate students, conducting research, publishing, attending conference, providing consultation as well as public services. The study involved 29 academicians comprising Professors, Associate Professors, and lecturer (with and without PhD) from all five departments namely Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Electrical, Electronics and Systems Engineering, Civil and Structural Engineering, Chemical and Process Engineering and Architecture. The time allocated by each respondent for teaching:research:services is compared to the percentage agreed in the academicians Performance Assessment Report (LNP), that is 30%:60%:10%. Results from the study indicated that 62.1% of the respondents devoted 40hours more than the designated time per week. This issue is critical and has to be rectified in a systematic and strategic manner
