“…Another issue deserving more scrutiny are the incentive structures promoted by the indicators. Indicators such as the number of granted Ph.D.'s and number of current Ph.D. candidates, which were applied in all exercises, could further exacerbate the Ph.D. oversupply in academia(Rogge and Tesch 2016).7 It would be justified to (also) include publications by ECR other than theses in an ECR performance dimension, ideally appropriately weighted for ECR's co-authorship contribution(Donner 2020). …”

This study investigates the potential of citation analysis of Ph.D. theses to obtain valid and useful early career performance indicators at the level of university departments. For German theses from 1996 to 2018 the suitability of citation data from Scopus and Google Books is studied and found to be sufficient to obtain quantitative estimates of early career researchers’ performance at departmental level in terms of scientific recognition and use of their dissertations as reflected in citations. Scopus and Google Books citations complement each other and have little overlap. Individual theses’ citation counts are much higher for those awarded a dissertation award than others. Departmental level estimates of citation impact agree reasonably well with panel committee peer review ratings of early career researcher support.

“…Due to special labour law legislation in the science sector (WissZeitVG), scientific employees can still be employed in science for a very long time before they have to be released from fixed term or finally dismissed. Due to an extreme increase in third-party funding in the last 30 years, the ratio of scientists below the professorship to permanent professorial positions has again deteriorated significantly (Rogge & Tesch, 2016) and thus produces a particularly long phase of uncertainty, combined with generally low chances of obtaining a permanent professorial position. Permanent positions beyond the professorship do exist, but they are rare and cannot be planned due to the lack of human resources development concepts (e.g.…”

Who benefits from job security? Job satisfaction and performance in academia

Working conditions in the science system have long been complained about as insecure and lacking in perspective. It is an open question who could benefit from more secure employment. While a widespread rhetoric in political debates and some economic approaches suspect that greater job security undermines scientist’s motivation, efforts and performance, psychological approaches on work and motivation see increasing satisfaction on the part of scientists as a driver for the development of higher performance potential. We are investigating the relationship between contract situation, satisfaction and performance in science on the basis of a representative sample of 4,134 postdocs from all universities in Germany. The results show positive effects of secure employment on both satisfaction and output. However, the output effect is only partly mediated by satisfaction. In contrast to earlier studies, relevant contextual characteristics of the work situation are controlled for, so that the effect of the secure employment is more clearly carved out. The study refutes negative attributions of permanent positions on work results and thus the hammock argument. Thus, all parties may benefit from stable jobs for researchers.
