Factors Affecting the Productivity of Accounting Researches

The rate of research publications is an effective factor in evaluating the quality of universities and faculty members of accounting. Increasing awareness of the factors affecting research productivity in the field of accounting will help universities to use their resources and facilities effectively. Also, by recognizing these factors, researchers can be more productive in doing research. So the main purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the productivity of accounting research. In this research, we have tried to investigate the factors affecting the productivity of accounting research using theories such as motivation theory, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. In this research by studying papers and previous literature, the research objectives are described. The research findings show that organizational commitment, gender, the existence of research universities, individual factors, research characteristics, and publishing policies and motivation are factors that affect research productivity. Therefore, improving factors such as salary increases, promotion policies, employment policies, and the existence of a research culture can be effective in increasing the productivity of accounting research.
