| Abstract: | This study examines the effects of administrative positions and research performance on the probability of winning the Outstanding Achievement Award for Research in Institutes of Higher Education (Humanities and Social Sciences) using a unique dataset of faculty members from a prestigious university in China. The following findings are derived. First, administrative positions significantly affect the probability of winning the award, with higher administrative positions correlating with a greater likelihood of winning the award. Second, research performance also significantly affects the probability of winning the award, with better research performance correlating with a greater likelihood of winning the award. Third, administrative positions further amplify the impact of research performance on the probability of winning the award. These findings imply that academic awards may be influenced by administrative power in the universities in China. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
