Abstract

[Purpose]This study aims to analyze factors influencing the research productivity of international faculty members with a doctoral degree in Korean universities from an integrated perspective based on theoretical models of organizational behaviors.
 [Methods]To this end, Poisson regression model was used to analyze the data collected from international faculty members online between August 2018 and April 2019. The final sample consisted of 311 full-time faulty members, excluding those without an advanced degree.
 [Results]Its main findings are as follows. First, both job resource(number of graduate students) and motivators had a significant positive effect on their research productivity. Second, other job resource variables, such as average hours spent on teaching and research on a typical week and research funding had a significant effect on research productivity measured by research papers published in international journals. Third, cultural adjustment had a significant effect on domestic research productivity. Finally, such variables as gender, academic discipline, tenure, marital status, ethnic Koreans turned out to have a differential effect by the type of research productivity.
 [Conclusion]It concluded that research productivity of international faculty members was affected by job resources, cultural adjustment, and motivators, controlling for individual and institutional characteristics. Meanwhile, these factors had a differential effect by its type. Based on those findings, institutional implications were suggested in order to improve their research productivity.
