The publish-or-perish principle has become a fact of academic life in gaining a position or being promoted. Evidence is mounting that benefits of this pressure is being countered by the downsides, like forms of goal displacement by scientists or unethical practices. In this paper we evaluate whether perceived work pressure (publishing, acquisition funds, teaching, administration) is associated with different attitudes towards science and the workplace among economists working at Dutch universities. Publication pressure is high and is related to faculty position and university ranking position. Based on a latent class analysis we can detect a clear divide among economists. Around two third of the economists perceives that this pressure has upsides as well as serious downsides and one third only perceives upsides and no downsides. Full professors see more than other faculty members the positive sides of the publish-or-perish principle and virtually no downsides. These different perceptions are also reflected in their appreciation of the academic work environment.

出版或灭亡原则在获得职位或晋升中已成为学术生活中的事实。越来越多的证据表明，这种压力所带来的好处正在被不利因素抵消，例如科学家转移目标的形式或不道德的做法。在本文中，我们评估了在荷兰大学工作的经济学家中，感知的工作压力（出版，购置资金，教学，管理）是否与对科学和工作场所的不同态度有关。出版压力高，与教职和大学排名有关。根据潜在类别分析，我们可以发现经济学家之间存在明显的鸿沟。大约三分之二的经济学家认为，这种压力既有上行空间，也有严重的下行空间，只有三分之一的人认为上行空间很大，没有下行空间。正式教授比其他教师更看重出版或灭亡原则的积极方面，几乎没有缺点。这些不同的看法也反映在他们对学术工作环境的欣赏中。
