Identifying the determinants of individual scientific performance: A perspective focused on AMO theory

Purpose: The aim of this study is to empirically analyse how motivation and the opportunity to investigate enhance the direct relation between the researcher’s human capital and individual scientific performance. Design/methodology/approach: Following recent investigations of strategic human capita...
