The valences of six extrinsic rewards that can accrue to business faculty members were investigated. A decision modeling experiment was designed with 16 different hypothetical reward situations to elicit effort decisions from 52 respondents. Using instrumentality theory, valences were represented by within-subject regression coefficients, obtained by regressing effort decisions on a set of orthogonal cues. Exploratory analyses yielded significant effects of reward type for the valences within all rank and tenure categories and for the valences of tenure and recognition across rank and tenure categories. Significant correlations were found between research productivity and the valences of mobility and promotion. Interactions with rank were found for the correlations of research productivity with the valences of money and mobility. The findings were consistent with need theories and support conceptual connections between valences and needs.

Research is the heart of every higher education institution (HEI).  Universities are coming under enormous strength to boost the productivity of faculty research to meet the ASEAN integration.  The accrediting agency assures that instructions and community extensions are research-based.  This study assessed the research productivity of teachers at the University of Cebu, Philippines. Based on the gathered data, a University Research Portfolio was proposed to serve as a guide for the administrators to increase production of teachers in the context of a research project, presentation, and publications. The study used a descriptive correlational method with the aid of a researcher-made questionnaire. There were 171 college teachers who were used as respondents of the study. The accumulated data were analyzed, and interpreted using simple percentage, weighted mean, Chi-square test of independence and ANOVA.  Results showed that most of the teachers have low research productivity and that they need training in research methods and statistics. It was concluded that college teachers had limited financial assistance and cash incentives that the University offers to them. The researchers strongly recommend that the proposed University Research Portfolio be used. However, further research on its effectiveness should be carried out to confirm the preliminary findings.

Faculty members of State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) perform research function in addition to instruction, extension and production. This study was conducted to look into the profile of the published research from year of entry up to year 2008 of the regular faculty members of the First Semester of SY 2008-2009 at the College of Business Administration and Accountancy (CBAA) of the University of Northern Philippines (UNP) as affected by some personal and professional factors. It utilized the correlational design of descriptive method of research. Findings showed that the CBAA faculty is characterized by dominance of members of the female sex, of married status, of middle to senior age, with master’s degree, with academic rank of associate professor, and with official designations. Almost half of them have received monthly salary ranging from P10, 001 – P20, 000. Very few are members of scientific/research organizations. The CBAA faculty have published research since 2000. From 2000 to 2008, a total of 43 researches have been published. These were done by nearly half (19) of the 39 regular CBAA faculty members. More researches were done with co-authors than researches by single authors. Most of these researches are of college and curricular program levels, and over four-fifths were financed personally by the faculty researchers. All the researches were published in research journals and some of them were also disseminated in lecture fora and research dissemination and utilization seminars. One research was disseminated through poster exhibit. Majority of the regular CBAA faculty members have never participated in any research activity since their year of entry to the University up to year 2008. Educational attainment and membership in scientific/research organizations came out as good indicators of faculty research productivity.Keywords: Research, higher education, research productivity, correlational descriptive method,Philippines

ABSTRACT This paper ranks individual accounting researchers based on their research productivity in the most recent six, 12, and 20 years. We extend prior individual faculty rankings by providing separate individual faculty research rankings for each topical area commonly published in accounting journals (accounting information systems [AIS], audit, financial, managerial, and tax). In addition, we provide individual faculty research rankings for each research methodology commonly used by accounting researchers (analytical, archival, and experimental). These findings will be of interest to potential doctoral students and current faculty, as well as accounting department, business school, and university administrators as they make decisions based on individual faculty members' research productivity. JEL Classifications: M4, M40, M41, M42, M49. Data Availability: Requests for data may be made to the authors.

Academic inbreeding is a label used when units, departments and universities hire their former students, predominantly their former Ph.D. students, as faculty members, a practice that is generally perceived as detrimental to academic productivity and diversity. In this paper, for the first time, we attempt to verify some of the reported attributes for a small sample of Canadian universities, namely for the largest engineering schools. We examined more than 60 departments and units at 11 universities. We show that academic inbreeding is in fact present at the investigated units with a national average of 23%. Twelve departments exhibited a Z-score of one (inbreeding index larger than 34%, four departments showed a Z-score score of almost 2 and higher (inbreeding index larger than 44%). As well, we demonstrate that the quality of publications, measured by the number citations, appears to be lower for the inbreds. We also introduce a new measure that seems to be more suitable to capture the negative effect of inbreeding on diversity.
