New public management and research productivity – a precarious state of affairs of academic work in the Netherlands
基于2015年荷兰三所大学的调查数据,研究新公共管理改革如何影响教学与研究工作量平衡,以及这种平衡对不同性别学者研究生产力的作用,发现平衡的工作量能提升研究生产力,且管理主义感知是性别差异的中介因素。
New Public Management reforms have fostered universities to focus on performance and competition which has resulted in different pressures to perform and disruption of strong teaching–research balance at universities. The imbalanced division of teaching research workloads may be gendered and can strengthen the differences in research productivity among male and female academics. This study uses survey data of Dutch academics carried out in 2015 at selected three universities to understand how pressure to perform has influenced the workload balance and what is the relationship between teaching–research balance and research productivity of female and male academics across different disciplines in different organizational contexts. The findings support the Hattie and Marsh's Common Wisdom model and show that balanced teaching research workloads improve research productivity across gender groups. Further, we show that the perception of managerialism at a university is an important mediating factor of gender balance in research productivity.
