The University

This paper seeks to bring into discussion the main traits and their effects on the research management process within Romanian universities from the managers’ perspective. Fourteen academic managers took part in a semi-structured in-depth interview aimed at presenting and analysing the research management process in higher education institutions. The focus was on academic managers` perspective regarding the current university model, the research culture within universities and the internal strategies used to promote and stimulate research production. Results show the university should be considered an important pillar for economic growth and thus, it must invest in developing more research activities of higher quality, helping to transform knowledge into a profitable investment. Therefore, the university needs to support the development of internal strategies that will help researchers work individually or in teams in order to implement research projects, ensuring that potential inaccuracies, such as lack of institutional support or bureaucracy, are reduced.

Research Knowledge

The scholarship of nursing depends on the research culture in institutions. Not all higher education institutions globally expect from diploma prepared nurses to be research trained, but it is expected in the South African and African context. Globalisation and the migration of degree and diploma prepared nurses, should sensitize the global nursing community about the challenges faced when nursing colleges or learning centres, offering diploma programmes, become part of the higher education sphere and need to contribute to the scholarship of discovery. This article reports on strategies that could be implemented in higher education institutions, such as colleges, to enhance the research culture. A qualitative research design was used and data gathered through a nominal group technique with 12 students from different institutions as well as reflection reports from five nurse educators involved in research training and supervision. Participants indicated that the most important aspect that needed to be addressed in nursing education was improved research knowledge for students, nurse educators and research supervisors. Institutions where nurse educators do not have master’s degrees should implement strategies to support students and educators in enhancing their research capacities and skills in order to improve the institution’s research culture. University nursing schools, which have research mentors, should become role models/mentors to support enhancing a research culture in nursing colleges in South Africa and Africa.

The Commission on Higher Education of the Philippines envisions that all Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the country should develop the culture of research. It has been pushing for a stronger research orientation but still did not boost research productivity. This study aimed to determine the profile of research culture and faculty research productivity of accredited Private Higher Education Institutions of North Cotabato, Philippines. All full-time faculty members (131) who have at least earned units in any master's degree program, and master's and doctorate holders of the four accredited Private Higher Education Institutions were the respondents of this study. Research Directors were the key informants of the interview. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis were employed  It was found out that the research culture building factors explicitly of the individual attributes such as highest educational attainment, and research training, knowledge and skills; and the institutional attributes namely research incentives, research forum and administrative support  significantly influenced the research productivity of the faculty in terms of the magnitude of their roles in institutional research, theses and dissertations, funded research projects, number of researches produced and number of research published in refereed journals. Moreover, the most significant predictor of research productivity of the faculty respondents was researched incentive. As recommended, the different respondent institutions shall formulate an institutional comprehensive plan for research and research development from which they can anchor whatever strategies they would undertake to increase research productivity. Also, it is also recommended that HEIs will develop an attractive and handsome incentive package that can surely motivate the faculty to engage in research endeavors.

Choice of profession is a social phenomenon that every person has to face in life. Numerous studies convince us that not only the well-being of a person depends on the chosen work, but also his attitude to himself and life in general, therefore, the right and timely professional choice is very important. Research about factors of career self-determination of students of higher education institutions in Ukraine shows that self-determination is an important factor in the socialization of young person, and the factors that determine students' career choices become an actual problem of nowadays. The present study involved full-time and part-time students of Institute of Philology and Mass Communications of Open International University of Human Development "Ukraine" in order to examine the factors of career self-determination of students of higher education institutions (N=189). Diagnostic factors of career self-determination of students studying in the third and fourth year were carried out using the author's questionnaire. Processing of obtained data was carried out using the Excel 2010 program; factorial and comparative analysis were applied. Results of the study showed that initial stage of career self-determination falls down on the third and fourth studying year at the university, when an image of future career and career orientations begin to form. At the same time, the content of career self-determination in this period is contradictory and uncertain, therefore, the implementation of pedagogical support of this process among students is effective.
