The effectiveness of the scientist: How to turn science into a report and a competition for resources

Abstract

The article shows various aspects of the application in the practice of labor relations of a teacher (scientist) and an educational (scientific) institution of such a tool for regulating activities as an effective contract. It is shown that an effective contract is a way to reduce the income of a teacher (scientist) by increasing the amount of time needed to fulfill all the conditions of the contract. It is also shown that an effective contract is a way to reduce the quality of the educational and research process, which ceases to be evaluated by the quality of its results and in the course of the work of the expert community, and acquires the character of a pursuit of achieving quantitative indicators recorded by formal information systems, such as various databases indexing publishing activity.
