基于扎根理论的高校科研人才能力评价分析

An Analysis on the Ability Evaluation of Scientific Research Talents in Universities Based on Grounded Theory

利用扎根理论方法对中国世界一流大学建设高校的10位教师进行案例访谈,收集各高校科研人才考核评价标准,形成详细完整的资料,运用Nvivo12软件进行开放式编码、主轴编码和选择性编码,提取相关概念和范畴。在前期编码基础上,引入复杂系统管理思想,构建包括基本职业素养、教育教学能力、教研科研能力、技术研发能力和专业实践能力的高校科研人才能力分析框架。研究可以更好地激发科研人才创新活力,为促进高校科研人才能力提升提供理论支撑。

Colleges and universities are important subjects of national economic,scientific and cultural innovation,and research talents are the key to the development of scientific and technological innovation.Scientific research talents in colleges and universities are an important force in promoting the research capacity and improving the teaching level of the university.At present,scientific research talents in colleges and universities are facing the pressure of professional title evaluation and performance appraisal,leading to the undesirable phenomenon that they are forced to only pursue the number of academic achievements and do not care about the academic influence and social value of achievements.Therefore,colleges and universities need to establish a sound scientific talent evaluation method to improve the quality of academic research,and understand the problems and patterns in the practice of research talent management in higher education institutions more clearly.Complex systems management is a holistic approach to understanding,analyzing,and solving practical and complex management problems by integrating knowledge from multiple disciplinary areas and a variety of techniques.Both the behavior of management subject and object,and the environment involved in colleges and universities arequite complex,so it is necessary to analyze the logical relationships between different elements before the study on the evaluation of research talents'ability in universities.This study collects the assessment and evaluation criteria of research talents in different majors and fields from 42 world-class universities in China and selects 10 teachers from world-class universities as interviewees.It utilizes the grounded theory research method to comprehensively sort out and encode the existing implementation methods of scientific research talent assessment and evaluation measures in colleges and universities,refines the conceptual categories and then identifies the logical relationship between the conceptual categories,using Nvivo12 software for open coding,spindle coding,and selective coding to extract relevant concepts and core categories.On the basis of the previous coding,this study analyzes the actual situation of research talents'ability in colleges and universities through the integration of complex system and management disciplines based on Qian Xuesen's complex system management thinking and paradigm,and constructes an analysis framework of research talents'ability in universities.It is found that the ability of scientific research talents in colleges and universities is not only affected by their own knowledge structure,learning motivation,values and other internal factors,but also by various external factors such as resource endowment,discipline construction,incentive mechanism,legal guarantee,team atmosphere and so on,Therefore the analysis framework consists of basic professional quality,teaching ability,research ability,technology developing ability as well as professional practice ability,with different abilities interpenetrating,supporting each other and serving as mutual motivation.The framework can better identify the operation rules and dynamic change processes of research talent analysis in higher education institutions.Thus this study provides theoretical guidance for the evaluation of research talents'ability,talent introduction,resource allocation,and strategic deployment in universities,and it can guide the management innovation of scientific research talents in colleges and universities,realise the healthy and reasonable development of academic ecology,and make great contributions to the economic construction,technological development,and social progress of the whole country.There are also some limitations in the research.It is inevitable that some data are missing or omitted in the process of data collection,which leads to the loss of information.Therefore,there may be some deviations in the concept and category in the induction.Future research will combine the qualitative and quantitative methods to establish the evaluation model of research talents in higher education institutions to better promote the scientific and rational analysis of the ability of scientific research talents in colleges and universities.
