Abstract: This study seeks to empirically examine the impact of research funding for academic researchers on their research performance in the areas of natural science, engineering, agriculture and fishery science, and medicine and pharmacology in South Korea. Specifically, this study analyzed the research performance of 32,064 academic researchers based on their patent applications, patent registrations, and research articles published in academic journals in the year 2010. Descriptive statistics and regression analysis showed that various forms of research funding have a significant effect on their research performance. The results of this study also showed that the attributes of academic researchers, such as gender, age, where their PhD was completed, and major, have an influence on their research performance.éŸ©å›½å­¦æœ¯ç ”ç©¶è€…çš„ç§‘ç ”ç» è´¹å’Œç»©æ•ˆ æœ¬ç ”ç©¶è¯•å›¾ä»Žå®žè¯ ä¸Šæ£€éªŒéŸ©å›½å­¦æœ¯ç ”ç©¶è€…çš„ç§‘ç ”ç» è´¹å¯¹ç§‘ç ”ç»©æ•ˆäº§ç”Ÿçš„å½±å“ , æ¶‰å Šçš„å­¦ç§‘åŒ…æ‹¬ï¼šè‡ªç„¶ç§‘å­¦ã€ å·¥ç¨‹å­¦ã€ å†œå­¦ã€ æ¸”ä¸šç§‘å­¦ã€ è ¯å­¦å’Œè ¯ç †å­¦ã€‚å…·ä½“è€Œè¨€, åŸºäºŽå­¦æœ¯ç ”ç©¶è€…çš„ä¸“åˆ©ç”³è¯·ã€ ä¸“åˆ©æ³¨å†Œå’Œ2010å¹´åœ¨å­¦æœ¯æœŸåˆŠä¸Šå ‘è¡¨çš„ç§‘ç ”æ–‡ç« , æœ¬ç ”ç©¶åˆ†æž äº†32, 064å ç ”ç©¶è€…çš„ç§‘ç ”ç»©æ•ˆã€‚æ è¿°æ€§ç»Ÿè®¡å’Œå›žå½’åˆ†æž æ˜¾ç¤º, ä¸ å Œç§‘ç ”ç» è´¹å½¢å¼ å¯¹å­¦æœ¯ç ”ç©¶è€…çš„ç§‘ç ”ç»©æ•ˆäº§ç”Ÿäº†æ˜¾è‘—å½±å“ ã€‚ç ”ç©¶ç»“æžœå Œæ—¶è¡¨æ˜Ž, å¯¹å­¦æœ¯ç ”ç©¶è€…ç§‘ç ”ç»©æ•ˆäº§ç”Ÿå½±å“ çš„å› ç´ è¿˜åŒ…æ‹¬ç ”ç©¶è€…æœ¬èº«çš„å±žæ€§, ä¾‹å¦‚æ€§åˆ«ã€ å¹´é¾„ã€ æŽˆäºˆå…¶å šå£«å­¦ä½ çš„é™¢æ ¡å’Œæ‰€å­¦ä¸“ä¸šã€‚Fondos para la investigación y el desempeño de los investigadores académicos en Corea del Sur Este estudio busca examinar empíricamente el impacto de los fondos para los investigadores académicos en su desempeño dentro de la investigación en las áreas de ciencias naturales, ingeniería, agricultura, ciencias de la pesca, y medicina y farmacología en Corea del Sur. Específicamente, este estudio analizó el desempeño de la investigación de 32.064 investigadores basándose en sus solicitudes para patentes, registros de patentes y artículos de investigación publicados en revistas académicas en el año 2010. Las estadísticas descriptivas y el análisis de regresión mostraron que hay varias formas de financiación de la investigación que tienen un efecto significativo en el desempeño de los investigadores. Los resultados de este estudio también mostraron que los atributos de los investigadores académicos, como el sexo, la edad, el lugar donde estudiaron su doctorado y la especialización influenciaron su desempeño investigativo.
