Abstract
Purpose – To study predictors of research productivity, including mediator and moderator variables.
Methodology – A model that consists of such variables as research self-efficacy research training and the knowledge sharing climate in an organization was developed and tested. Data was collected using questionnaires.
Originality/value – The paper contributes to an understanding of mediator and moderator factors in the relationship between human resource development practices and research productivity. The research is also of practical importance to administrators in the field of science.
Findings – The results of the study show that scientific training positively affects the productivity of scientists, but they are not enough to obtain a high positive effect. University administrations need to focus on improving the climate, where scientists freely share their knowledge.
