Abstract

Abstract Identifying the factors affecting the success of academic information management and evaluation centers is one of the most important studies on how its results can increase the productivity of these centers. This research attempts to investigate the effect of five critical success factors for three centers of academic information management and evaluation in Iran as a developing country. These centers play a key role in the management and evaluation of theses, research projects, papers, and patents nationally. Semi-structured interviews, studies of literature, and providing questionnaires have been used to collect the material for the research. The research population was selected using purposive sampling and consists of managers and all the employees in the three centers who had at least a master’s degree. Their viewpoints were surveyed and the data was analyzed using ANOVA, Scheffe, and Pearson’s correlation test. The findings affirm that “management stability” makes it possible to perform long-term plans in these centers. However, “independency” acts as a factor to strike the balance between responsibilities and authorities, “manager’s speciality” improves the plans and performances in a specific and professional way, “information technology” reduces the expenses and facilitates the presentation of faster services, and finally “distance from authorities” influences the speed of reporting and providing facilities. The results show each of these five factors, not only independently but also together and as a whole, affects the success of these kinds of centers. Moreover, while confirming the correlation between these factors, it was revealed which of these factors has a greater impact on their success.
识别和评估学术信息管理和评估中心的关键成功因素:以伊朗为例
摘要识别影响学术信息管理和评估中心成功的因素是研究其结果如何提高这些中心生产力的最重要的研究之一。本研究试图调查伊朗作为一个发展中国家的三个学术信息管理和评估中心的五个关键成功因素的影响。这些中心在全国论文、研究项目、论文和专利的管理和评估中发挥着关键作用。半结构化访谈、文献研究和问卷调查被用于收集研究材料。研究人群是通过有目的的抽样选择的,由三个中心的经理和所有至少拥有硕士学位的员工组成。调查了他们的观点,并使用ANOVA、Scheffe和Pearson的相关检验对数据进行了分析。研究结果证实,“管理稳定性”使得在这些中心执行长期计划成为可能。然而,“独立性”是在职责和权限之间取得平衡的一个因素,“经理的专业性”以特定和专业的方式改进计划和绩效,“信息技术”减少了开支并有助于提供更快的服务,最后,“与当局的距离”会影响报告和提供设施的速度。结果表明,这五个因素中的每一个,不仅独立地,而且作为一个整体,都会影响这类中心的成功。此外,在确认这些因素之间的相关性的同时,还揭示了这些因素中哪一个对他们的成功影响更大。
