Title: Survey Analysis for Workplace Management of Universities' Research Managers and Administrators
Abstract: Universities and public research institutions play an important role in national innovation systems. Not only researchers but research managers and administrators contribute to innovation management as well. Because of the expertise and the diverse tasks of research managers and administrators, they are required to share their advanced knowledge and skills with each other. Thus, appropriate collaboration among them at their workplace and the organizational design for the collaboration are critical key elements. This study aims to investigate the relationships between organizational design, skills, and performance of research managers and administrators. In order to clarify the research topic, a questionnaire survey for research managers and administrators in Japanese universities and public research institutions was conducted. A total of 401 usable responses were obtained and the results of analysis on them statistically indicate that both organizational design for collaboration and skills have a significant impact on performance. These findings contribute to the development of work process of innovation-oriented universities and institutions.
