“…Academic field was positively associated with academic engagement in each model, which indicates that scientists in applied disciplines were more likely to engage in industrial activities than those in basic disciplines. Results show that gender had a significant and positive impact on academic engagement, which is in line with previous research on university-industry interaction [62] and indicates that male scientists were involved in more industrial activities than were female scientists. Hypothesis 1a is supported.…”

“…The first measurement, which was developed by Bozeman and Gaughan [62], examined the degree of a scientist's industrial engagement by constructing an academic engagement index. The questionnaire asked respondents the frequency of 11 types of academic engagement activities from the beginning of 2014 to the end of 2015, with five interval options: 0 times; 1-2 times; 3-5 times; 6-9 times; and above 10 times [6].…”

Abstract:Research indicates that non-commercial and informal university-industry interactions, which are defined as academic engagement, account for a larger part and play a more important role than commercialization in academic knowledge transfer in China. This paper aims to explore the effect of Chinese scientists' individual differences on academic engagement via social cognitive theory. This study attempts to provide an interpretation of how individual differences affect Chinese academics' industrial engagement through self-efficacy. Based on data collection from Chinese universities, these analysis results show that gender, academic rank, industry connections, and previous industrial experience are significantly associated with Chinese scientists' industry engagement. Furthermore, a scientist's self-efficacy in industry collaborations is also influenced by these four individual factors. The mediating effects of self-efficacy on the relationship between individual differences and academic engagement are confirmed by empirical analysis results. Implications, limitations, and future research directions are discussed at the end of this paper.

“…In some instances, the private sector can also partner with universities to tap into promising scientific advances and universities' developmental concepts, which cannot be generated in-house. Through these types of business partnerships, universities can also access other means of capital that would otherwise not be available, e.g., seed funds, other VC and access to external "private" datasets (Bozeman and Gaughan, 2007). This "non-zero sum game" continues to provide unexpected advantages and opportunities to all parties involved, e.g., new innovations/products capable of assisting decision-makers, anticipating regulatory pressures, and identify additional public funds (Boardman and Corley, 2008).…”

The present paper is a preliminary analysis of the funding, organizational culture, environmental, and innovation challenges that are currently faced by Environmental Research Infrastructures (ERI) and private enterprises working together. We contend there is a strong case for building creative collaboration models across these sectors that also require to new management tools to effectively generate economically-driven solutions to the global society at large in the face of climate change. To that end, public/private stakeholders that are likely to partner to address climate change also face new frontiers in how they will structurally and organizationally work together. We explore these issues around changing political, scientific, commercial environments; partnerships models; barriers in bridging these communities; and the role of formal project management processes. There is no one solution to fit all conditions that can bring together a specific public/private enterprise that incorporates a research infrastructure. However, we have provided two examples of collaborative models of public/private enterprises to highlight how these issues can be addressed, and to foster future dynamic and creative solutions to this problem.

“…For example, studies of Gulbrandsen and Smeby (2005) that observed the researchers from universities in Norway and found that researchers are bound by industry funding were more likely to refer their research as applied research than researchers who are not bound by industry funding. A later study of Bozeman and Gaughan (2007) provides an analysis that there is a positive correlation between industry funding and the involvement of the industry into the domain of researchers to produce research that is more applied. Based on these explanations, we propose hypotheses 2 as follows: H2a : Funding has a positive effect on knowledge exploitation H2b : Funding has a positive effect on knowledge exploration Energy factor in the organization or by Schudy (2010) referred to as a productive organizational energy (EOP) has a close relationship with the activity of creation, exploitation and exploration of knowledge.…”

The concept of organizational ambidexterity has been resonated and applied in diverse areas of management research. When establishing its strategic direction, research institutions are confronted with strategic tradesoffs, namely balancing the right amounts of exploration of new knowledge and exploitation of existing knowledge in their research orientation. We investigate this trade-off by building on the notion that research institution need to reconcile the paradoxical demands of exploitation and exploration in their orientation. The objective of this study is to examine the effect of social network, funding, and productive organizational energy on knowledge exploration, knowledge exploitation and the capability of organizational ambidexterity in the context of research institution. A sample of 130 research institutions such as laboratory, study center and training center was collected through questionnaire survey. We tested the hypotheses using Partial Least Square (PLS). Findings of the study indicate that social network and funding are positively related to knowledge exploration and exploitation. However, productive organizational energy has no positive effect on knowledge exploration and exploitation. It is also confirmed that knowledge exploration and knowledge exploitation have a significant influence on the capability of organizational ambidexterity, but knowledge exploitation has a dominant role on that effect.
