Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper examines how research quality of New Zealand university staff has evolved since introduction in 2003 of the Performance-based Research Fund (PBRF). The analysis uses a database consisting of an anonymous ‘quality category’ (QC) for each individual assessed in each of the three PBRF rounds. Emphasis is on evaluation of organisational changes. The paper examines the extent to which each university's average quality score (AQS) changed as a result of changes in QCs of existing staff over time and from staff exit and entry. The data also include information about the age of staff evaluated in PBRF. This is used to assess changes in the age distribution of researchers across universities, and ages of those making transitions within universities and between grades. A number of hypotheses regarding organisation change in response to the introduction of PBRF are discussed and tested by comparing universities with different patterns of change.
