Current evidence suggests that productivity in biomedical research depends on the support that the research group enjoys from its parent institution, the composition of the group and the personal attributes of its members and leader. Supportive institutions provide adequate physical resources and allow substantial uninterrupted time for research. The effectiveness of the research group asa whole is also strongly influenced by the group's structure, the professional competence of the group leader, his leadership style and his ability to foster collaboration with other research groups and organizations. There is a good case for a flexible leadership style that is modelled on the situational theory of leadership. In addition, the personal characteristics of the individual members of the research group influence the quality and quantity of the research output. Effective groups are made of motivated individuals with research training and skills that are relevant to the objectives of the research group. Rehabilitation research is fundamentally different from traditional biomedical research. This study discusses how the factors that influence productivity of biomedical research relate to rehabilitation science and practice and examines the conditions that are necessary to create and maintain an academic environment that is conducive to large volume,high-quality research in rehabilitation medicine.
当前证据表明，生物医学研究的生产力取决于研究团队从其母体机构获得的支持、团队的组成以及其成员和领导者的个人特质。支持性机构提供充足的物质资源，并给予大量不受干扰的研究时间。研究团队作为一个整体的效能也受到团队结构、团队领导者的专业能力、其领导风格以及他促进与其他研究团队和组织合作的能力的强烈影响。有一种基于领导情境理论的灵活领导风格是很有道理的。此外，研究团队个别成员的个人特质会影响研究产出的质量和数量。高效的团队由有积极性的个体组成，他们具备与研究团队目标相关的研究培训和技能。康复研究与传统生物医学研究有着根本的不同。本研究讨论了影响生物医学研究生产力的因素如何与康复科学及实践相关，并审视了创建和维持有利于康复医学进行大量高质量研究的学术环境所需的条件。
