Abstract:
Faculty members\' research performance holds great significance for the development of a university. The primary objective of this study is to examine the influences of researchers\' personalities on their research performance within universities, as well as the mediating role of research engagement in this relationship. The study encompassed 189 faculty members from a university and employed descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, measurement, and structural equation modeling as the analytical procedures. The results obtained from structural equation modeling reveal significant effects of faculty members\' personalities on their objective research performance rather than self-reported performance. Specifically, conscientiousness and openness to experience exhibit a positive correlation with research performance. On the contrary, the neuroticism and social attributes of personality (the integration of extraversion and agreeableness) exhibit a negative correlation with research performance. Furthermore, research engagement mediates the effects of openness to experience and neuroticism on research performance. This study carries significant implications for the training and recruitment selection of faculty members in universities and enhances our understanding of how different personalities lead to a variance in research engagement and performance.
摘要:
教职员工的研究绩效对大学的发展具有重要意义。本研究的主要目的是检查研究人员的个性对他们在大学内的研究表现的影响,以及研究参与在这种关系中的中介作用。这项研究包括来自一所大学的189名教职员工,并采用了描述性统计数据,相关分析,测量,和结构方程建模作为分析程序。从结构方程模型获得的结果揭示了教职员工的个性对其客观研究表现而不是自我报告表现的显着影响。具体来说,责任心和对经验的开放与研究绩效呈正相关。相反,人格的神经质和社会属性(外向性和随和性的整合)与研究绩效呈负相关。此外,研究参与度调节了对经验的开放性和神经质对研究绩效的影响。这项研究对大学教职员工的培训和招聘选择具有重要意义,并增强了我们对不同个性如何导致研究参与度和绩效差异的理解。
