Overview

The organisational dimension of scientific performance is concerned with the influence the organisation may have on the performance and effectiveness of research scientists. This book deals with the role of the organisation in scientific research. It examines organisational influences such as leadership, group dynamics, resources and technology, and their importance in relation to scientific performance. It also deals with issues of scientific research policy, the measurement of scientific productivity, and the wider social and personal influences affecting scientific performance. It links scientific performance with organisational factors, bringing together in one book a number of multi-disciplinary approaches and factors which influence scientific effectiveness, contributed by key researchers and writers in the area who have not hitherto worked or published together. Its focus is specifically on the organisation of scientific research and the importance of the research environment to scientific performance.
