Research is an expected function for higher education faculty, but I wonder what the REAL motivation is? Below are some suggestions.

  • Curiosity about something in your field?
  • Support a departmental or other team project?
  • Personal prestige?
  • Receive promotion/tenure?
  • What is YOUR motivation (or maybe multiple motivations)?

    (If you think this is an interesting question, please recommend it so more people will see it.)
