The Relationship Between Individual and Institutional Factors and Research Productivity of Agricultural Faculty Members The Case of: Agricultural Faculties of Tehran Province

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of individual and institutional factors on the research productivity of faculty members involved in agriculture. The research population comprises 303 faculty members from the University of Tehran (Colleges of Agriculture and Natural Resources and Abureihan) and Agricultural College of Tarbiat Modarres University. Needed individual information and research productivity were extracted from staff members files. To gather information concerning psychological and institutional factors, questionnaires were employed. The reliability of the questionnaire was assessed through Cranachʹs Alpha coefficient (0.74- 0.97). Results showed that for the Colleges of Agriculture and Natural Resources and Abureihan, there was a significant relationship between research productivity and academic rank, self confidence and corporate management (P=0.01). For the Agricultural College of Tarbiyat Modarres University, there was no significant relationship observed between "individual factors" and the research productivity. But such relationship existed between institutional factors including, clear research objectives and counseling system and research productivity (P=0.01). Regression analysis indicated that three variables, "counseling system", "motivation", and "network of communication with colleagues" determines 62.8% of the variations in research productivity.
