Research productivity of accounting academics in changing and challenging times

---

Purpose – The aim of this study is to investigate factors considered to impact on the research
productivity of accounting academics, and identify how the factors were related. The study aims to
set itself within an international context of increased workloads, and revenue-driven research and
teaching.
Design/methodology/approach – A meta-analysis was conducted of international studies from
accounting and related business fields, published between 1988 and 2008, that examined factors
influencing the research productivity of academics. A data-driven approach to thematic analysis was
used to synthesise the results, which were categorised into two time periods.
Findings – Three clusters of factors that accounted for researcher productivity were found to have
had most focus in related studies over the period. These were “Institutional characteristics”, “Intrinsic
motivation” and “Knowledge, skills and other individual characteristics”. Hierarchical clusters of
factors operating at government, institution and individual levels appeared to influence the research
output of accounting academics.
Practical implications – Increased understanding of the factors that affect the research
productivity of accounting academics, and how they are related, has potential to benefit individual
researchers and their institutions.
Originality/value – Models identified in previous studies have not considered the impact of the
relatively recent global market pressures on accounting academics. As the proposed model was
developed from a meta-analysis of many international studies it is likely to accommodate current
global pressures better than previous models.
