Abstrakt

Celem artykułu jest omówienie czynników, które mogą wpływać na zdolność absorpcyjną pracowników nauki. Przegląd literatury wskazuje, że tradycyjna rola uniwersytetów, ograniczona do edukacji i podejmowania działalności badawczej skoncentrowanej przede wszystkim na rozwoju teorii naukowych, ewoluowała w kierunku wymogu innowacji i aktywnego poszukiwania możliwości komercjalizacji wyników badań. Wśród wielu czynników decydujących o innowacyjności badaczy i ich zdolności do komercjalizacji wyników badań coraz częściej podkreśla się znaczenie zdolności absorpcyjnej badaczy (ACAP). Zrozumienie ACAP na poziomie indywidualnym było jak dotąd ograniczone, ponieważ większość badań koncentruje się na poziomie organizacyjnym. W wyniku analizy literatury przedmiotu dotyczącej zarówno ACAP, jak i specyfiki pracy pracowników nauki oraz zatrudniających ich organizacji, przedstawiamy model badawczy i formułujemy hipotezy o indywidualnych, organizacyjnych i instytucjonalnych determinantach zdolności absorpcyjnych. Proponujemy rozważyć ACAP pracowników nauki jako złożone zjawisko, które odnosi się do indywidualnych kompetencji (wiedza badawcza, możliwości, wyniki innowacyjnych badań), zdolności do przyspieszenia procesu absorpcji i cech osobowych. Sugerujemy, że niski poziom zdolności absorpcyjnych pracowników nauki jest powiązany negatywnie z innowacyjnością wyników badań i że można go wzmocnić poprzez rozwój kompetencji, zdolności i cech charakterystycznych dla innowatorów spin-offów i start-upów oraz menedżerów MŚP.
