The Triple Helix of Size, Diversity and Collaboration in Research Productivity
Journal Title: IOSR journal of Business and Management - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 4
Abstract
This study analysed the effects of size, diversity and collaboration on departmental research productivity. A premier institution offering academic, research, clinical services and public education in communication disorders was selected for the study. The data set comprised of 257 funded projects by 41 teaching faculty from 2005-06 to 2014-15. Team size was reckoned in terms of total faculty size, performers size and number of doctorates in the team. The diversity attributes studied included diversity in age, gender, rank, qualification, diversity in years of teaching experience (YTE) and clinical experience (YCE). The influence of size and diversity differed among the departments. A trend of diminishing marginal returns was observed beyond a certain department size. The performers size and the ratio of performers size to team size captured the essence of the size effect on research productivity. The performers were marked by a moderate level of diversity in terms of age, gender, rank, qualification and years of clinical experience. A linear trend was seen between the number of doctorates, professional networking and research productivity score. The inter-correlations revealed that having more doctorates lead to higher performers ratio and increased professional networking in turn resulting in higher research productivity. The performers size had significant positive correlation with diversity and professional networking establishing the positive nexus between size, diversity and collaboration.
