Administrative positions, research performance, and winning awards
基于中国某顶尖高校教师数据，研究行政职务和科研绩效对获得人文社科优秀成果奖概率的影响，发现行政职务越高、科研绩效越好，获奖概率越大，且行政职务会放大科研绩效的作用。
This study examines the effects of administrative positions and research performance on the probability of winning the Outstanding Achievement Award for Research in Institutes of Higher Education (Humanities and Social Sciences) using a unique dataset of faculty members from a prestigious university in China. The following findings are derived. First, administrative positions significantly affect the probability of winning the award, with higher administrative positions correlating with a greater likelihood of winning the award. Second, research performance also significantly affects the probability of winning the award, with better research performance correlating with a greater likelihood of winning the award. Third, administrative positions further amplify the impact of research performance on the probability of winning the award. These findings imply that academic awards may be influenced by administrative power in the universities in China.
