Some universities are absolutely teaching focused but expect research outcomes from the faculty members without having any motivational attributes at institutional level.
The promotion is the main factor that motivates a researcher at institutional level.
These are the following areas at institutional level: mission engagement, professional development, retention and promotion, human resource policy, curriculum planning and development, degree program, enrollment management.
The promotion is the main factor that motivates a researcher at institutional level.
Several institutional factors motivate researchers to engage in research. Some of the most important institutional factors accounting for motivation in research undertaking include the following.
1. Offering a clear articulation of institutional research goals and expectations for individual researchers;
2. Providing continual training and support programs for faculty members;
3. Provision of funding opportunities for faculty members,
4. Providing recognition of faculty with excellent research skills and recognition of research production;
5. Encouragement of faculty members collaboration or interdisciplinary team;
6. Reducing teaching course loads for faculty members; and
7. Setting up standards for pay increments, promotions, and other advancement that reflect the worth of doing research.
Tenure and promotion are big influences in my opinion. Individually it's also the need to connect with others in my area of research.
Thank you dear colleagues for sharing your thoughtful information and knowledge.
The promotion, in and out of University, is the most important factor that motivates a researcher.
If a normal income is generated as precondition, I would say the freedom of research and publication is a great motivator.
Factors that motivate academic staff are as follows:
1) Extrinsic factors
2) Financial rewards
3) Promotion
4) Tenure
5) Performance appraisal
6) Intrinsic factors
7) Self-efficacy
8) Research support
9) Teaching load
10) Social network
11) Faculty size
12) Culture
