How Does Research Evaluation System Influence University Faculty's Proactive Innovation Behavior:Based on a Survey of Faculty from 29"Double First-Class"Universities
The faculty's proactive innovation behavior is a major determinant of the improvement of a university's original innovation ability,while the research evaluation system plays a crucial role in encouraging and guiding faculty's proactive innovation behavior.Based on the self-efficacy theory,through a questionnaire survey involving 1659 faculty members in natural sciences,engineering sciences,social sciences and humanities,from 29"double first-class"universities,this study investigates the influence of research evaluation system on faculty's proactive innovation behavior.The results show that evaluation process democracy,interaction fairness of evaluation subject-object and formative evaluation not only enhance innovation self-efficacy,but also stimulate faculty's proactive innovation behavior;although peer-review method and quality or innovation standard stimulate faculty's proactive innovation behavior through the intermediary role of innovation self-efficacy,their inherent problems also hinder proactive innovation behavior,so that the masking effect leads to insignificant influence on proactive innovation behavior;significant subject,age and university level differences exist in the influence of research evaluation system on faculty's proactive innovation behavior.Based on the findings,it is suggested to strengthen value-added evaluation,improve the small peer system of selection and supervision,establish classified research evaluation standards according to subject areas and development level,promote the reform of academic committee in terms of authority scope and members'selection method,and tolerate failed research to encourage innovation.
