The purpose of this study was to examine attitudinal factors associated with increased research productivity of individual clinical faculty in 66 United States and Canadian schools of dentistry. Thirteen variables, evaluating the subjects' perceptions of their research background, work environment, attitude and outcome effects from publishing, and the use of colleagues in conducting research, were evaluated. The 833 respondents represented a response rate of 64.9% (833/1200) from a 50% stratified random sample of faculty who (1) had full-time appointments and held at least the D.M.D. or D.D.S. degree or the foreign equivalent, (2) taught in a clinical department of the dental school, and (3) were not departmental chairpersons or administrators (assistant dean, associate dean, or dean). Respondents reported a mean of 10.3 yr. (range = 1 to 45, SD = 7.3) in full-time dental education (career age) and a mean of 10.1 career publications (range = 0 to 110, SD = 13.8). Analysis of variance for mean number of career publications, by increasing agreement in response to each attitudinal variable, yielded a significant positive association for each of the 13 attitudinal variables. Implications of the findings were discussed with respect to strategies for improving research productivity of individual faculty.
本研究旨在考察美国和加拿大66所牙科学院中与个体临床教员研究产出增加相关的态度因素。评估了13个变量，这些变量涉及受试者对其研究背景、工作环境、发表成果的态度和结果影响，以及在开展研究时对同事的利用情况。833名受访者来自50%分层随机抽取的教员样本，回复率为64.9%（833/1200），这些教员满足以下条件：（1）为全职教员，至少拥有牙医学博士（D.M.D.）或牙外科学博士（D.D.S.）学位或同等外国学位；（2）在牙科学院的临床科室授课；（3）不是科室主任或管理人员（助理院长、副院长或院长）。受访者报告其全职牙科教育的平均时长为10.3年（范围 = 1至45年，标准差 = 7.3）（职业年龄），平均发表的职业论文数量为10.1篇（范围 = 0至110篇，标准差 = 13.8）。按照对每个态度变量的认同程度增加，对职业发表论文的平均数量进行方差分析，结果显示13个态度变量中的每一个都存在显著的正相关。针对提高个体教员研究产出的策略，讨论了这些研究结果的意义。
