Factors Affecting the Performance of University Lecturers: A Survey at the Academy of Policy and Development

Abstract

This study analyzes the factors affecting the research performance of lecturers at the Academy of Policy and Development, including personal, organizational and academic environment factors. The research objective is to assess the impact of each factor on work performance, thereby proposing solutions to improve productivity and quality of scientific research. The research method combines qualitative and quantitative methods through a survey of 224 lecturers and in-depth interviews with leaders of professional units. The results show that support from the school, opportunities for research collaboration and personal motivation are the most influential factors, while research funding policies have an indirect impact. These findings provide the basis for the Academy of Policy and Development to develop appropriate research incentive policies, create a favorable academic environment and improve the quality of scientific research in the current context of higher education.
