Personal and organizational factors associated with the attitude towards research of faculty at a university in Northwest Mexico. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro.

The study sought to explore the relationship between personal and organizational factors, both individually and interactively, and the attitude toward research activities among faculty members at a Northwestern Mexican university. A total of 281 undergraduate and graduate professors participated, completing a scale that assessed their attitude toward scientific research, focusing on the dimensions of interest, vocation, and appreciation. The results indicate that attachment to the National System of Researchers (SNII) is a personal variable strongly associated to participation in research groups and scientific production. Regarding organizational variables, teaching research-related courses and holding a permanent position were associated with a more positive attitude toward research. Among the factors influencing a high attitude toward research, personal factors, particularly SNII membership, showed to be the most significant. The study concludes that the university is responsible for creating conditions and incentives that consider the characteristics of academic staff to foster a positive attitude toward research. In this context, it is crucial to address both organizational and personal variables, with a particular focus on the latter, to enhance research training and strengthen a research culture within the university.
