Abstract

The aim of this study is to shed light on factors that influence securing of university research grants. For this purpose, this study emphasizes the role of management capability of industry-university cooperation foundation in securing research grants. We analyze whether the potential capabilities influence research grants using panel data from 194 universities during 2016 to 2018. The results obtained from the Driscoll & Kraay standard errors (DKSE) indicate that a number of variables including the portion of industry-university collaboration professors, academic performance of professors, and the number of paid researchers are positively associated with the amount of external research grant approved. However, the percentage of employees employed for less than two years is negatively related with securing external research grants. Once the dependent variable is measured by the total university research grants, the negative coefficient of employees with short-term career disappears. Instead, the percentage of employees who are in charge of research planning and management and the total number of employees involved in industry-university collaboration foundations are negatively related with the total university research grant amounts.

대학의 중요한 성과 중 하나로서, 연구비 규모는 각 대학의 경쟁력을 나타내는 지표라고 할 수 있다. 지금까지 연구비는 연구 성과를 위한 투입변수로 인식되어온 경향이 강하여 대학의 연구비 규모에 영향을 줄 수 있는 요인에 대한 연구는 많지 않다. 연구과제 수주 및 연구비 관리에 있어서 소수의 선행연구는 대학의 연구 역량에 초점을 두었으나, 산학협력단의 지원과 관리 수준을 고려할 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구는 산학협력단의 관리역량이 대학의 연구비에 많은 영향을 미칠 수 있는 요인인지 분석하였다. 연구 목적을 위하여 2016년부터 2018년까지 194개 4년제 대학의 패널 자료를 구성하였다. Driscoll & Kraay 표준 오차 모형(DKSE)으로 추정한 결과에 따르면 산학협력교수의 비율, 국내외 논문실적과 연구원 규모가 클수록 외부 연구비가 늘어나는 반면, 2년 미만 재직한 산학협력단 직원 비율이 높을수록 외부 연구비 규모가 줄어드는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 종속변수를 전체 연구비로 측정하는 경우에는 다른 변수들의 긍정적인 영향력은 변화가 없는 대신 경력이 짧은 산학협력단 직원 비율의 부정적인 효과는 사라졌고 연구 기획 및 관리 직원 비율과 산학협력단의 규모가 부정적인 요소로 나타났다.
