“…In addition, a new research culture injected suddenly due to its high priority in terms of the WUR criteria disrupts the teaching culture. The process of changing the culture of universities from its role as a teaching university to becoming a research university requires a long process (Sandy and Shen, 2019). When they were subsequently required to reach WCU status within a period of 5 years (2015–2019), several universities were not ready to change because they did not have a research and publication culture yet.…”

“…This then causes and escalates the discomfort focused on the change (Vakola and Nikolaou, 2005). Sandy and Shen (2019) also found that the limited time available to do quality research due to a high workload among the lecturers in Indonesia had an impact, particularly when it came to balancing the three main duties under “Tridharma.” When there was no reduction in the teaching duties, adding on the research obligation to this creates a heavy load. Another interesting finding related to the work overload was when one female informant revealed that the high workload conditions after the changes were inappropriate for female lecturers.…”

“…Scientific publication is one of the few measures of research productivity used to prove their academic talent to the world. As a research-oriented university, the number of publications is considered to be an important criterion for the lecturers related to appreciation, rewards and research grants (Sandy and Shen, 2019). It has caused conflicts regarding the different perceptions of the lecturers between their teaching functions and the new approach adopted by the university to manage their research functions (Castro-Ceacero and Ion, 2019).…”

“…12/2012, lecturers in Indonesia have the main task of doing research, teaching and being in service to society in a balanced manner. This is known as “Tridharma” (Sandy and Shen, 2019). Changing from being teaching-oriented to research-oriented in a short time might make most lecturers feel discomfort in terms of the changes made for the sake of WCU status.…”

PurposeThis study examined organizational change in universities as it relates to discomfort among the organization's members.Design/methodology/approachUsing the critical incident technique (CIT), data was collected from the informants in an Indonesian public university that had been mandated by the government to enter the top 500 world university ranking. This would make it a “World-Class” university.FindingsThe findings describe the causes, courses and consequences of the discomfort felt in response to the organizational change in the university context. The causes of discomfort were categorized as a fear of loss, organizational culture, systems and policies, work overload and a lack of resources. Discomfort can manifest through negative affective, cognition and behavioral tendencies. Meanwhile, the consequences result in active and passive participation in the process of the organizational change itself.Originality/valueDiscomfort with organizational change is a new variable that has rarely been explored, thus it requires testing and validation using different methods and contexts, as offered by this study. We have also shown that in the initial stage of organizational change (unfreezing), discomfort will always emerge that must be immediately managed in order not to trigger resistance to change. Furthermore, this study exhibits the use of the critical incident technique in the context of organizational change. Finally, we offer comprehensive views by exhibiting the causes, the reactions shown and the consequences of discomfort with the change.

“…The term "publish or perish" is more real than most higher education teachers might want to admit (Ding, 2001;Génova & de la Vara, 2019;Nabout et al, 2015;Qiu, 2010). It is not unusual that a higher education teacher with a large number of publications can have a better chance for promotion and tenure (Baccini et al, 2014;Hicks et al, 2015;Sandy & Shen, 2019). It will be easier for him/her to obtain research grants and resources (Hicks et al, 2015).…”

Background: How many higher education researchers are there in the world? How many academic articles are published by researchers each year? This paper aims to answer these two questions by tracking the number of higher education teachers and the number of publications over the past four decades. Methods: We collected data on the number of higher education institutions and researchers from the United Nations, the World Bank, and the U.S., China, and U.K. governments (three countries with the largest number of academic publications in recent years). We used Scopus to obtain the number of publications per year. The growth of higher education researchers and academic publications were characterized using 4-parameter logistic models. Results: The number of higher education teachers-cum-researchers increased from 4 million in 1980 to 13.1 million in 2018 worldwide. Concurrently, the number of academic publications increased from 0.65 million in 1980 to 3.16 million in 2018 based on data from Scopus. At the country level, the number of academic publications from the U.S. increased from 0.15 million in 1980 to 0.70 million in 2018, while that from China increased by almost 1,000 times from 629 in 1980 to 0.60 million in 2018. Conclusions: The number of higher education researchers would reach 13.6 million and they would publish 3.21 million academic articles in 2020, imposing enormous pressure to publishers, peer-reviewers, and people who want to understand emerging scientific development. Additionally, not all academic publications are easily assessable because most articles are behind pay-walls. In addition, unethical research practices including falsification, fabrication, plagiarism, slicing publication, publication in a predatory journal or conference, etc. may hinder scientific and human development.
