Abstract

            This research objectives is to study the level of research productivity and its factors. The proportionate stratified sampling as practitioners in the subject of administration, commerce, accounting, tourism management, and economics of 34 private universities of totaling 1,549 people. It was a specific sample group by estimating the observable variables. The approximately 37.73 was randomized, divided into 600 teachers and 83 administrators. Two questionnaires were five levels in order to measure factors affecting research productivity, which consisted of a questionnaire for teachers that have a reliability of 0.988, a questionnaire of data and executives’ opinions were at a reliability of 0.981. The effects of data factors were with a multi-level causally analysis model, which data was collected by posts and in person, also the level of research productivity was analyzed by using basics statistics.

            The overall level of research productivity was moderate to low ( gif.latex?\bar{X}=3.77), the causal factors model was consistent with the empirical data, also the variables was in a positive influence on research productivity, statistically significant at the level of 0.01. The prediction variable influencing factors the research productivity in the highest level in the teacher's, that the motivation for the research reveals (β=1.217), and the organization level is the capacity in research (β=0.816).
