This thesis investigates factors influencing performance and productivity of researchers in the area of science and technology.
A model is set up which describes processes from problem to problem-solving. These processes are dependent on organizational and individual factors. From this model, 4 hypotheses are derived. Here, diversity, dedication, research pressure and satisfaction are selected among many factors. Hypotheses to be evaluated include; (Ⅰ) The higher the degree of diversity and dedication of the researcher is, respectively or together, the higher his productivity becomes. (Ⅱ) The higher the degree of research pressure is, the higher researcher's productivity becomes. (Ⅲ) The higher the degree of researcher's satisfaction is, the higher his productivity will be, etc.
Data for investigation are collected through questionnaire answered by 48 researchers with doctoral degrees. They are from one graduate school and one research institute.
In testing hypotheses, significant results are obtained in relations among diversity, dedication and satisfaction of the researcher, research pressure and his productivity.
