Abstract

In education, managing the risks of the Peter Principle, which states that employees are promoted to their level of incompetence, cannot be overlooked due to its damaging effect on the overall success of the organisation. The papers highlight that the risk factors of the Peter Principle in academia include promoting individuals based on non-academic success rather than leadership ability. The principle tends to reduce staff morale and hinder academic achievement in the workforce. This occurs because individuals are promoted to roles where their incompetencies become apparent, resulting in ineffective leadership that can stifle best practices in education and impede overall progress. The present study offers a theoretical overview of Peter's principle in educational management, outlines the risk mitigation factors of the Peter Principle in the educational environment, and discusses ways to promote and enhance best practices in educational management, including a brief conclusion.
