“…The 'publish-or-perish' principle was the lowest-ranked in the TKTU rankings. Many authors oppose its use (Binswanger, 2015;Blaginin et al, 2019;Raitskaya & Tikhonova, 2020b, etc.). In a large-scale study, Richard et al (2015) proved that it demotivates rather than motivates researchers.…”

“…For researchers, there are influences on their tenure, career advancement, professional recognition, and rewards (Miller, Taylor, & Bedeian, 2011). For universities, it increases institutional rankings, their funding, and quality/accreditation scores (Blaginin, Volkova, & Strielkowski, 2019;Karimi & Asadnia, 2020). For society, "high-quality publications remain the primary tool for describing national and individual contributions to science and society" (Lambovska & Yordanov, 2020, p. 188).…”

Although the ‘publish-or-perish’ principle has spread globally, many authors believe that it is a negative reinforcer (motivator) and harmful. With this paper, we have tried to help overcome the growing pressure of negative reinforcers on researchers. The paper aimed to propose a model for factors influencing researchers to publish in WoS/Scopus journals, based mainly on positive reinforcement and a combination of concepts including theories of control, management, stakeholders, and psychology. The model was intended for Bulgarian universities. It covered 17 motivational drivers and 29 potential features of internal university stakeholders directly involved in the topic. Factor ranking was not incorporated in the model. The research methodology covered the methods of expert evaluation, analysis/synthesis, induction/deduction, and the toolkit consisted of a comprehensive survey and Kendall’s rank concordance coefficient. The model was implemented at a Bulgarian state university. The empirical study was conducted among 120 researchers. It resulted in factor rankings by university internal stakeholders. The highest-ranked motivational driver was reputation, and the lowest-ranked was the publish-or-perish pressure reducing. The highest-ranked potential features were university prestige and potential and support for promotion. We believe that this model contributes to the theory of behaviour control. The model will also improve university research management by enriching its tools.

“…It should be especially noted that most often, this problem is considered in theory, or only in part of the economic component, that is, "costs -results" [8][9][10][11]. In our opinion, evaluation of the effectiveness of educational programs must necessarily include quantitative and qualitative characteristics, as already mentioned earlier.…”

The article considers the problems of assessing the program of additional vocational education, considering the new realities, the management environment, the widespread introduction of the digital economy, which place new demands on workers and their professional competencies or even changes in their work activities. A methodology is proposed for calculating the integrated index of the educational program effectiveness, including vocational education, considering important economic, social, organizational, and educational components, which involves considering their quantitative and qualitative characteristics. The main conceptual elements of the evaluation system of additional programs are reflected, and the scale and evaluation standards are proposed. The economic effect of the program is determined in cost terms based on the expected revenues and expenses for the program. The article shows an example of calculating private indicators of the effectiveness of educational programs for additional vocational training, and their translation into the relative effect is carried out with the help of the profitability indicator. This allows choosing the educational product necessary for specific consumers to attract additional extra-budgetary funds for the development of science in educational institutions. In addition, the issue of training the necessary personnel in demand for business is being addressed. According to societal needs, personnel with specified professional competencies appear on the labor market. All this creates conditions for realizing the interests of employees, employers, and the state.

“…The universities may open business incubators and produce spin-offs to create new job opportunities for their students. The firms participate in university research and teaching to get new technologies and well-educated personnel (Starov et al 2014;Blaginin et al 2019).…”

This paper is centred around the determination of leading methods used for advanced teaching and lecturing at the universities and higher educational institutions (HEIs). We analyse the worldwide experience and scrutinise the best practices. Moreover, we assess the existing techniques and approaches and classify the most advanced ones. Our results show that over the recent decades, the leading methods to teaching at universities and HEIs have altered dramatically. The rise of the information and communication technologies (ICTs) enabled the access to all possible and imaginable information, partnerships with institutions and companies from across the world, and the change of perspectives among the academic staff. The motivation of students to learn have changed too, making the whole system less effective.
