Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the factors influencing academic works of the academic staff at the Faculty of Dentistry, Mahidol University. Academic works from 2015 to 2019 were searched from Scopus, Web of Science and Department of Intellectual Property Databases. The sample consisted of 189 academic staffers. Sex, age, department (pre-clinic or clinic), academic position and work experience were studied as they were considered the influencing factors. The dependent variables were publication of the academic work in an international academic journal and the academic work that has been registered as intellectual property.


The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that the academic position was significantly related to the number of international publications (p < 0.05), while academic position, age and work experience were significantly related to the number of academic works registered as intellectual property (p < 0.05). The findings of this study can be used by academic staff in doing research and creating innovations which will facilitate their progress in their career, and they can be used in academic staff promotion in the future as well.
