Organizational Identity and Research Performance:An Empirical Study Based on Faculties in Information Resource Management
Research output plays an important and positive role in the career development of faculties.The weakening of the unit system provides mobility for the occupational mobility of university faculties.Therefore,it is of strong practical significance to explore the relationship between organizational identity and research output of university faculties in the Chinese context.The study takes the faculties of all universities that recruit academic graduate students majoring in Information Resource Management(formerly named as Library,Information and Archives Management)as the research object.Under the control of demographic variables,educational background,and job characteristics,the research examines the impact of organizational identity on research output published at home and abroad.The study finds that the impacts of demographic variables,educational background,and job characteristics are consistent with the research findings of previous empirical literature.However,the impact of organizational identity on research output is complex.Specifically,organizational identity has a positive impact on foreign language research output,but a negative impact on Chinese research output.The finding shows that the administration of universities needs to stimulate the research enthusiasm of faculties in the process of cultivating organizational identity,as well as encourage publishing papers in Chinese scholarly journals while promoting international scientific communication.
