Abstract

Academic work contains various types, such as research, academic articles, books that serve both public and private sectors. Typically, academic staff in higher education are the primary producers of such works, which they use for teaching or to share knowledge within the academic community. However, universities in Thailand, the support staff is getting more opportunity to contribute the academic work which is related to their job description. It called Routine to Research or R2R. Though these academic works are beneficial to their career path; they can use for academic promotion, few people succeed. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the Factors Affecting Routine to Research (R2R) Production of Supporting Staff at a Thai University International College. The research instrument is a questionnaire using a five- point Likert scale focusing on the Internal Factors and External Factors. An accidental random sample is employed to select the participants to complete the survey from 126 staff members. Later, the data is analyzed by the statistical program. The results show that the Supporting Staff think that producing research takes time, requires initiative and creativity. On the other hand, they think that the organization should create an environment that promotes research production and should provide funding and organize activities to provide knowledge. In addition, it would be better to expand the findings by focusing on a specific case study which could highlight strategies or outcomes that may be generalized the deeper insights.
