Abstract: The article presents the results of a study of secondary employment of researchers in the post-Soviet Russia, conducted by the HSE Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge in 2007. The use of factor analysis techniques allowed to identify four latent reasons for scientific activity, used as a prerequisite to a decision taking about the secondary employment. With the help of cluster analysis it became possible to establish a typology of primary employment time usage , and classify the secondary employment portfolios of scientists. Regression model analysis revealed the impact of both individual and institutional features on the availability and nature of additional employment. Particularly the availability of a doctoral degree has a positive effect on the probability of getting a second job, and the retirement age is a constraining one. Among other significant factors there are some features of the workplace, motivation, and previous job experience. Note: Downloadable document is in Russian.
