Abstract: The ideological and political work of university teachers is an important component of university ideological and political work, which is related to the comprehensive leadership of the Party over university education work, the correct direction of higher education development, the implementation of the fundamental task of cultivating virtues and morality, and the construction of a high-quality university teacher team. The mechanism of ideological and political work for university teachers, the work content, work methods and the awareness and ability of teachers themselves need to be improved and enhanced. Otherwise, these factors would hinder the development of ideological and political work for university teachers. In order to strengthen and improve the ideological and political work in universities in the new era, it is necessary to collaborate with multiple work subjects, deepen work content, innovate work methods to enhance effectiveness, promote self-improvement, and stimulate endogenous motivation to empower development.
