Abstract

R&D is one of the most important roles of universities. Many previous studies examined the impact of financial factor on university R&D activities but reached no consensus view. This article contributes to the current literature by exploring how financial factor and other factors influence R&D activities in Vietnamese universities. The author employed a survey dataset from the Association of Vietnam universities and colleges to check whether unfavourable financial condition hindered university R&D activities. Using structural equation modelling, the author found empirical evidence that financial constraint could hamper R&D productivity. On the other hand, favourable conditions in management, communication, infrastructure and human resources were found to improve R&D activities. This led to some policy suggestions to improve R&D activities in Vietnam higher education institutions.

研发是大学最重要的职能之一。以往很多研究都考察了财务因素对高校研发活动的影响，但没有达成共识。本文通过探讨财务因素和其他因素如何影响越南大学的研发活动，为现有文献做出贡献。作者利用越南高校协会的调查数据来检验不利的财政状况是否阻碍了大学的研发活动。运用结构方程模型，实证研究了资金约束对研发效率的影响。另一方面，管理、通讯、基础设施和人力资源方面的有利条件有助于改善研发活动。这导致了一些政策建议，以改善越南高等教育机构的研发活动。
