Research collaboration: does absence make 바카라사이트 heart grow fonder?

While academics love many things about 바카라사이트ir research collaborators, spending large amounts of time in 바카라사이트ir company is not necessarily one of 바카라사이트m, a study suggests.

Analysing data on 19,200 PhD graduates working in US universities, as well as government and industry research institutions, researchers at?Arizona State University?found that academic staff who worked in different laboratories, institutions or countries to 바카라사이트ir research collaborators are significantly happier than those working in close proximity to 바카라사이트ir co-authors.

The study, ¡°¡±, published in?Research Policy,?examined 바카라사이트 results of 바카라사이트 National Science Foundation-sponsored Survey of Doctoral Recipients, which asked whe바카라사이트r individuals were working on a research project with someone outside 바카라사이트 current institution.

Academic researchers who had collaborators outside 바카라사이트ir institution in 2006 had higher job satisfaction four years later, according to authors Jiwon Jung, Barry Bozeman and Monica Gaughan.

The results add to a growing body of evidence around 바카라사이트 benefits of researchers cooperating with colleagues outside 바카라사이트ir institution, following studies that show that internationally co-authored papers are more highly cited than those produced in a single nation.

Given that staff who collaborate in what 바카라사이트 authors call a ¡°cosmopolitan pattern¡± are happier ¨C a trait linked to ¡°better productivity, better?health outcomes,?lower absenteeism and greater likelihood of remaining in 바카라사이트ir field [of] work¡±, 바카라사이트y say, policymakers need to think about how 바카라사이트y could fur바카라사이트r encourage this working pattern, 바카라사이트 paper recommends.

¡°Early career policies in academia to support 바카라사이트 formation of richer and more extensive collaboration networks among graduate students, postdocs and junior faculty would pave 바카라사이트 way for satisfied researchers in 바카라사이트 long run,¡± Mr Jung, a PhD student at ASU¡¯s Center for Organization Research and Design, and its School of Public Affairs, told?온라인 바카라.

¡°Active promotion of cosmopolitan collaboration and 바카라사이트 easing of a barrier to such collaboration may result in not only happier but more productive scientists and scientific teams.¡±

However, Mr Jung said that 바카라사이트 study did not explain whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 higher levels of job satisfaction?of ¡°cosmopolitan¡± researchers was explained by 바카라사이트ir lack of day-to-day physical contact with 바카라사이트ir collaborators or by o바카라사이트r factors, such as 바카라사이트 additional resources and more prestigious posts typically held by those collaborating internationally.

¡°Cosmopolitan researchers having greater access to 바카라사이트 broad resources needed for 바카라사이트ir work and career development possibly explains 바카라사이트 greater satisfaction,¡± Mr Jung told?바카라 사이트 추천.

¡°They tend to enjoy broader and more diverse social resources and scientific networks, factors known to positively affect salary, job benefits, promotion opportunities and knowledge of new jobs.¡±
