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 getting more opportunity to contribute the academic work which is related to their job description. It called Routine to Research work 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 work (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 who differ in age, sex, working duration, and position.
Later, the data is analyzed by the SPSS program. The results show that the Supporting Staff think that producing research work takes time, requires initiative and creativity. On the other hand, they think that the organization should create an environment that promotes research work 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.
