ACADEMIC RESEARCH INSIDE ORGANIZATIONS: INPUTS, PROCESSES, AND OUTCOMES
研究了141个在非学术组织中开展的学术研究项目,分析其起源、过程和成果,发现项目启动方式、组织与作者的贡献比例与最终成果(如研究实施、关系延续和引用影响)存在关联。
Although many opinions have been expressed about the potential merits and pitfalls of conducting academic research inside organizations, empirical research on the question is nearly nonexistent. Consequently, the present study examined the origins, processes, and outcomes of 141 academic research projects that were conducted in (nonacademic) organizations and published in 4 top‐tier industria organizational psychology and management journals over a 3‐year period. Three outcomes were assessed: implementation of research findings, academic organizational relationship continuation, and research impact (as measured by other‐author citations). Results suggested a number of relationships between the way projects began, the relative contributions of organizations and authors to the research process, and eventual outcomes. Suggestions for future research are offered.
