Job satisfaction amongst academics: the role of research productivity
分析了西班牙学者工作满意度的决定因素，重点关注研究生产率的影响以及不同毕业群体间的差异，对高校设计激励制度有参考价值。
This article analyses the determinants of job satisfaction amongst Spanish academics, paying particular attention to the impact of research productivity and differences across graduation cohorts. Research productivity is a very relevant factor in explaining job satisfaction in academics in different stages of their career. Interesting differences across graduation cohorts are found as regards the impact of research productivity and other satisfaction drivers, such as other research outcomes – research stays abroad and cooperation with teams abroad – and teaching load, marital status and young children. Higher education institutions aiming to foster productivity and stability in their academic staff should adapt their incentive systems to the preferences and concerns of this particular type of worker and promote their internal motivation.
