高校科研人员工作沉浸感对科研绩效的影响——基于人口统计特征的实证检验

 通过问卷调查了中国20所高等院校的772名科研人员，考虑性别、年龄、职称、学科、地区、院校类型和教育程度等7个人口统计学特征，进行差异性检验和回归分析发现，工作沉浸显著正向激励科研绩效；教育程度、地区和院校类别带来的工作沉浸感差异最大；职称和学科带来的工作沉浸感差异不显著。研究解释了同等条件下科研人员绩效差异较大，以及不同条件下科研人员整体性绩效差异较大的重要原因，提议高校应对科研人员工作状态等认知因素给予更多关注。

The effect of work-related flow on scientific researchers' work performance: An empirical study based on demographic characteristics

Although many studies have discussed the positive impacts of organizational incentive system and salary on scientific research performance, few have empirically examined the positive effect of work-related flow, or estimated the difference due to the level of flow among scientific researchers in China. A survey was sent to 772 scientific researchers from 20 universities in China, considering gender, age, professional rank, subject, region, institutional category and educational background as the 7 demographic variables. By conducting difference test and regression analysis, it is found that work-related flow is positively related to scientific research performance. Among the demographic variables, educational background, region and institutional category cause the largest differences of the level of work-related flow while professional rank and subject have no significant influence. This study explains not only why scientific researchers with the same background conditions perceive different level of individual work-related flow but also why scientific researchers with different background conditions perceive different levels of overall work-related flow. We also suggest that universities need to pay more attention to work-related status and cognitive factors of scientific researchers in the future.
