Context Factors and the Performance of Mobile Individuals in Research Teams
基于16个国家4336个科研团队的调查数据，检验了三个情境因素如何影响国际流动个体提升团队创新绩效的能力。
Abstract We use survey data for 4336 scientific teams, located in 16 countries, where all members were working within a single lab, to test three context factors that potentially affect the capability of internationally mobile individuals to enhance the innovation performance of their research units. We formulate hypotheses on context factors rooted in the knowledge recombination and learning‐by hiring theories. The results show that three context factors are positively associated with international mobility and the performance of the research units: the degree to which knowledge in the relevant subfield of science is geographically concentrated, the creative intent of the activities performed and the decision power of the mobile individual.
