New article by Matthias Hügel on university scientists’ multiple goals achievement in "Technovation"

Huegel, M. (2024). University scientists’ multiple goals achievement: Social capital and its impact on research performance and research commercialization. Technovation, 135, 103065.

In his study Matthias Hügel conceptualizes a quadrant model characterizing four profiles by contrasting university scientists’ multiple goals: research performance and commercialization

Highlights of the study are:

  • Quadrant model contrasting research performance and research commercialization
  • Influence of scientists’ bonding, bridging and linking social capital
  • Bonding social capital promotes research performance
  • Bridging social capital increases likelihood of research commercialization
  • All three forms of social capital support scientists to be ambidextrous.
