“…Lawrence and Brown (1976) found that Blacks scored lower on measures of career maturity and, along with Pound (1978), found that prediction of career maturity for Black and White students relied on different factors, and that less variance could be explained in the career maturity of Black students. The finding of no difference between abilities of males and females to make self-estimates supports the earlier finding of Tierney and Herman (1973) and failed to support the contention of Hodgson and Cramer (1977) that sex differences do exist.…”

“…Tierney and Herman (1973) found no significant differences between boys' and girls' ability to make self-estimates. Hodgson and Cramer (1977) indicated that differences exist between boys and girls in their capacity to make self-estimates of selected abilities, but they performed no statis-tical tests. It was hoped that the present study would help researchers and practitioners gain insight into the relationship of sex to ability to make accurate self-estimates.…”

“…While any self‐evaluation has limitations, factors such as familiarity with evaluation and respondents intelligence have been shown to relate to self‐evaluation accuracy (Hodgson and Cramer, ; Mabe and West, ). When we consider the nature of the scientific community, we can see that research scientists are very familiar with the critique and evaluation of their work.…”

This research examines the work motivation profile of research scientists and the effect of work motivation on research performance. A sample of United Kingdom-based research scientists (N = 405) working in the chemical, biological and biomedical research domains took part in the study. Participants completed a survey based measure of motivational sources and self-report research performance evaluation. The motivational sources of internal self-concept motivation and instrumental motivation were found to be the strongest and weakest respectively for research scientists. External self-concept motivation was found to be significantly higher among younger scientists. No gender differences were found in the motivational profile of scientists. While controlling for the influences of age and gender, internal self-concept motivation was found to have a significant positive effect on research performance, and instrumental motivation was found to have a significant negative effect on research performance. Consistent with prior research, differences in research performance across age and gender were also identified. The implications of these findings for our understanding of the effective management of scientific research are discussed.

“…It should also be noted that many of the intervening variables that are thought to moderate the relative accuracy of self-report measures of performance are of particular interest when considering a sample of research scientists. For example, relative accuracy in assessing ability has been linked with experience in the evaluation of that ability (Hodgson and Cramer, 1977). Evaluation of research in the form of the peer review process is a common occurrence for research scientists and is likely to lead to an improved ability to self-appraise performance.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to present findings related to an instrument for the self-appraisal of scientists' research performance, and highlight the suitability of self-appraisal instruments for members of the scientific community. Design/methodology/approach -An examination of the literature on self-appraisal and the measurement of scientific research is presented. The initial development of the instrument employed qualitative methods through interview and discussions with PhD-qualified scientific researchers (n ¼ 13). A quantitative investigation of the usefulness of the instrument was then conducted on a sample of biological and chemical research scientists (n ¼ 270). Results were compared with an existing performance measure and examined for representative reliability. Findings -Results suggest that the instrument may be a reliable measure of research performance when used in a non-critical context. Research limitations/implications -While the instrument shows promise, further research is needed to examine aspects of inter-rater reliability. Additional research is also needed to further examine relationships between it and other measures of research performance at the same level of analysis. While the usefulness and validity of this instrument at the "international level" has been examined, further research is needed to examine the relative validity and reliability of the instrument at the "institutional" and "national" levels. Practical implications -The instrument provides a useful and cost-effective tool for use in the performance appraisal process of research scientists, and for use in focusing discussion on performance for developmental purposes. It is also useful as a research tool for the timely and cost-effective measurement of research performance at an institutional, national and international level. Originality/value -The paper presents an original paper and pencil instrument for the appraisal of scientific research performance at an institutional, national, and international level.
