There are documents on faculty workload calculation. In addition to activities done by a general university faculty, medical university faculties used to spend time on patient management. How should we proceed to calculate the workload of a medical university faculty?
You can study the standard operation procedure (SOP) of organizations to determine the measurement parameter. After that, you can study the appropriate method for quantifying.
You can use Cognitive Ergonomics tools like Evaluations Matrices, psychosocial etc. in order to calculate workload on faculty
Dear Andri Janto, Yousaf Ayub thanks for your responses. I appreciate your suggestions.
A very important question: the teaching load is present in all the faculties of the university, but medical faculties need a special system
The best approach without internal data is to Benchmark other similar institutions. Interviews with participants are also critical. Simply defining some particular task expectations without consultation with the practitioners could result in a total mismatch of expectations and capabilities.
Dear Aqeel yousif Alshukri, thanks for your response. I do agree with you that medical faculties need a special system.
Dear Steven Cooke, thanks for your answer. I realize your point of view. You are welcome.
Actually the administrative burden on the teaching is more than the burden of teaching

Dear Azhar Al-Ankoshi, thanks for your response. Yes, the administrative burden should take into account.
Dear Manal Hadi Kanaan, thanks for sharing a useful link. It's relevant and informative. Thanks for your interest in the topic.
Dear Isam Alkhalifawi, thanks for your suggestion. I appreciate your effort to contribute. You are welcome.
Manal Hadi Kanaan provided an excellent example from NIU. However, I did find it interesting that actual hours are considered normally "open ended", and despite limitations on individual activities - in addition to the 'standard' teaching ones - I found NO recommendation or regulation actually stating "acceptable" limits on the overall workload of any faculty. The inference is that much more than a "40-hour work week" is expected! That might be good from the Administration point of view but is more likely to lead to discontent and departures from faculty finding better options elsewhere.

Work should be equally distributed to all the staff.
The distribution of work in medical colleges varies depending on the degree, specialization, and availability of teachers and community service in hospitals and private clinics
