Individual Ambidexterity and Performance in the Public Sector: A Multilevel Analysis
本研究利用初级学者调查数据和高等教育中心二手数据，通过多层次分析发现个体双元性（平衡探索与利用活动）正向影响公共部门的研究绩效，而监督比例则与绩效负相关。
In this study, we examine individual ambidexterity (i.e., individuals’ balanced pursuit of exploitative and explorative activities) in a public management context. In particular, we combine survey data from junior scholars and secondary data from the Center for Higher Education to investigate the role of individual ambidexterity in an academic context. We conduct multilevel analyses and find that individual ambidexterity is positively related to research performance, indicating that individual ambidexterity positively influences individual performance in the public sector. In addition, we observe a negative relationship between the supervisory ratio and research performance, indicating that having a lower number of employees supervised by a single person leads to lower performance in the public sector.
