The pressure on higher education institutions (HEIs) to realize third mission activities continues to grow, intensifying the search for incentives to motivate academics to engage with stakeholders outside their HEI. Previous studies have found limitations in intrinsically motivating academic engagement; therefore, this study investigates the extrinsic regulation of motivations via incentives. The authors identified a broad range of incentives for third mission activities, belonging to four motivation categories: pecuniary incentives, career advancement, appreciation and research support. Drawing on self-determination theory, incentives (nudges and rewards) are empirically compared in a between-subject design with a sample of 324 academics from the business and economics disciplines. The analysis showed that nudges affect business and economics academics’ intention to engage with society in a joint research project. Furthermore, these academics responded well to incentives concerned with the research support motivation category. The findings contribute to the literature by highlighting the relevance of marginal incentives—nudges—in implementing appropriate incentives in HEIs.

是什么激发了学术界对社会的参与?动机与动机的比较

高等教育机构(HEIs)实现第三次任务活动的压力不断增加,加大了对激励措施的搜索力度,以激励学者与其HEI以外的利益相关者进行互动。先前的研究发现在本质上激发学术参与方面存在局限性。因此,本研究探讨了通过激励对激励的外部调节。作者确定了第三次任务活动的广泛奖励措施,分为四个动机类别:金钱奖励,职业发展,欣赏和研究支持。根据自我决定理论,在主题间设计中对激励(微妙和奖励)进行了经验比较,并从324名来自商业和经济学学科的学者中进行了比较。分析表明,微调会影响商业和经济学学者参与联合研究项目的意愿。此外,这些学者对与研究支持动机类别有关的奖励措施反应良好。这些发现通过强调边际激励因素(轻推)在高校中实施适当激励措施的相关性,为文献做出了贡献。
