Performance-based governance in academia

Aim and objectives:

With academic staff employed at research-intensive Swedish higher education institutions in focus, we study the identity construction of academics in relation to "economistic" forms of organizational governance, and how these interdependent processes affect the behaviour of individuals.

This research programme analyses fundamental mechanisms determining how core professional practices in academia are affected by the introduction of organisational level systems for performance-based allocation of funding.
