Barriers to and Facilitators of Scientific Productivity: A Case Study from Polish Technical University
Abstrakt
Scientific productivity plays an essential role in the creation of innovation and it stimulates social and economic growth. This study aimed to identify the barriers to and facilitators of scientific productivity in engineering and technology field, as perceived from the perspective of academic managers. Along with quality approach, the study relied on semi-structured interviews with managing bodies, i.e. seven deans and deputy deans from four faculties representing scientific field of engineering and technology. A single case study of Polish technical university was analysed in accordance with Braun and Clark’s six-step framework and coded in NVivo software. Findings fell into four themes: scientific publication, recognition, funding research, and collaboration. The results revealed more barriers than facilitators in terms of acceleration of and motivation for research productivity. Most of them related to human, financial, organisational, structural resources, and organizational culture. The novelty of our study lies in the insights into the middle management of universities in the scientific field of engineering and technology in light of the Positive Organisational Scholarship framework.
