Human resource management–research performance linkage in higher education institutions
Human resource management–research performance linkage in higher education institutions

Summary/Abstract: Research performance enhancement has become a greater issue in recent decades. However, studies analyzing the determinants of research performance and identifying human resource management (HRM) practices that improve research performance have been few and inconsistent. This paper overviews the factors affecting research performance and responds to calls for HRM practices that are customized for research and higher education institutions (HEIs). The paper is based on a theoretical HRM-performance linkage and aims to identify research performance measures, define scholars’ skills, abilities, research-oriented attitudes, and behaviors related to research performance, and generate bundles of abilities, motivation, and opportunities enhancing HRM practices associated with research performance. Finally, a theoretical framework for the HRM–research performance chain is developed.
