Predictors of Teacher Educators' Research Productivity

Who are More Successful Researchers? An Analysis of University Teachers Research Productivity

“…The level of research productivity increases with an elevation in designation as in many instances; associate professors are more productive than assistant professors are and assistant professors are more productive than lecturers are. There are mixed findings in previous studies with reference to effect of rank on research productivity (Alhija & Majdob, 2017;Jung, 2012;Kotrlik et al, 2002;Salazar-Clemeña, & Almonte-Acosta 2007;Zhou, 2015). Kotrlik et al (2002) did not find significant influence of rank whereas findings of the study of Jung (2012) support findings of the current study.…”

“…However, in spite of pursuing all motivational strategies and huge funding, the success rate could not be achieved fully (Mehmood, 2016). Therefore, this research aims to highlight the personal and work-related profile of university teachers who are more Lack of research competence, confidence, and academic writing skills are also commonly cited factors of research productivity (Alhija & Majdob, 2017;Kendagor, Kosgei, Tuitoek & Chelangat, 2012;Maharaj & Ramnundlall, 2016;Ulla et al, 2017).…”

The Enablers and Outcomes of Research Productivity among Junior High School Mathematics Teachers: A Structural Model

“…This agrees with most models of RP like those of Tafreshi et al (2013), Hedjazi and Behravan (2011), Bland et al (2005Bland et al ( : 2002, Teodorescu (2000), and Dundar and Lewis (1998) that individual component has a direct link to RP. If one has a strong interest and desire in participating in research-related activities, the more likely that he/she becomes productive (Angaiz, 2015;Horodnic & Zait, 2015;Nasser-Abu Alhija & Majdob, 2017) especially when attached with extrinsic motivation (Hoffmann, Berg, & Koufogiannakis, 2017;Tien & Blackburn, 1996). The higher confidence a researcher possesses in terms of his ability to conduct research, the more likely he will be able to conduct one (Angaiz, 2015;Hoffman et al, 2017).…”

Research Capacity of the Faculty Members at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Ho Chi Minh City

“…The motivation and its influenced level on the researcher will vary depending on the degrees, ranks or types of employment status, Lise and Hartijasti (2018) found out that master's degree holders have research productivity lower than doctoral degree holders, and doctoral degree holders have better research performance and a greater intention to do research. While Ryan (2014) stated that rewards, promotion, job stability are the main motivators and younger researchers will be influenced by external motivation, Zhang (2014) emphasized that faculty members who have higher academic qualifications are less likely to be affected by extrinsic motivation but rather than by intrinsic motivation, as a result, they are much different in research productivity (Nasser & Majdob, 2017). To be more specific, Chen et al (2010) found out that the factors of receiving tenure, promotion, staying in the current field, and getting higher pay have motivated many researchers conducting research.…”

“…The role of scientific research nowadays becomes more crucial in every country in order to facilitate knowledge production to meet the growing needs of society (Weinberg et al, 2014, Benneworth, 2019. It is considered as contributing factor to increase the competitiveness and development among individuals, organizations and countries (Bay & Clerigo, 2013;Ivanenco et al, 2015;Fawzi andAl-Hattami, 2017, Nasser-Abu andMajdob, 2017;Benneworth, 2019). Scientific research has become one of the important missions of higher education (Hanover Research, 2014;ENHANCE, 2017) in the context of technological innovation and knowledge economy.…”
