Main Effects

To determine if locus of control and perceived cohesiveness of a group had singular and joint effects on experienced satisfaction with coworkers 281 scientists and engineers in 15 Research and Development organizations were tested. Main effects and the interaction of the predictors were significant. Persons scoring internally were less satisfied with coworkers than were those who scored externally. Cohesiveness was significantly related to the criterion and subjects designated as externally oriented demonstrated a stronger relationship between perceived cohesiveness and satisfaction with coworkers than their internally oriented counterparts.

The paper presents a comparative study of indicators which targeting the facilities and support for the innovation process. The study targets indicators regarding human resources, support structure / infrastructure and legislative provisions. The analysis is carried out over the last 5 years, comparing the indicators in Romania and the neighboring countries (Bulgaria, Hungary, Austria, Slovakia and Poland) and highly developed countries (Germany and France). Based on this study, will be drawing conclusions for improvement of these indicators. The indicators that will be taken into consideration are: Availability of scientists and engineers, Researchers, Quality of the education system, Researchers in Research and Development, Research and development expenditure, Firm-level technology absorption, University-industry collaboration in Research & Development, Quality of scientific research institutions, Gross domestic spending on Research and Development, Property rights, Intellectual property protection.

As this is one of a series of papers under the general title of ‘Making a success of research in industry’, I should define what success means in my own context. Success can have different meanings to different people, and industrial success cannot be measured by publications, nor by public acclaim. There can be only one criterion of success in my terms, namely that the research should pay for itself and leave a handsome margin over costs; in short that it should be profitable research. This alone is not enough, but it is the prime consideration. The results of the research, when developed into products, should be socially beneficial, and bring to the people and country as a whole desirable consequences, which might be more leisure, improvements in the balance of payments, the ability to pay salaries and wages which at least keep up with the rise in the cost of living, the ability to provide interesting and rewarding employment to scientists and engineers, and the possibility of expanding the British chemical industry in such a way that it can keep up with the giants in the American chemical industry. Du Pont assemble all these criteria neatly in one phrase ‘better things for better living—through chemistry'. I would go along with that phrase—but substitute ‘science ’for ‘chemistry’, since our industry is becoming more and more a scientific rather than just a chemical one. But none of these secondary objectives is attainable without the primary one of making it pay for itself in such a way that no board of directors can doubt that the company’s whole prosperity depends on its research and development activity. So much for definitions.
