This study investigated lecturers' perceptions of research productivity, factors impacting research productivity, and how to develop lecturers' competencies through teamwork, mentorship, and collaboration to improve research productivity. Five research questions guided the study and were answered using an online questionnaire and document review. The sample size was 31 lecturers from a single university in Jamaica. The results revealed that the rate of research productivity among lecturers has been increasing over the years. The results showed that across the 17 years examined, conference abstracts, presentations, and proceedings were the highest. Peer-reviewed journal papers follow this, with books and book chapters being the least. Lecturers' perceptions of conducting research and publications were reported under motivation, assistance, and mandatory.
