The behavioral and institutional determinants of public value knowledge outcomes in conservation science

保护科学家认识到与企业、政府和非政府组织的利益相关者合作管理生物多样性的重要性。这项研究试图确定增加这些伙伴关系的公共价值结果的因素，这些伙伴关系代表着一种促进对社会做出科学贡献的知识转移形式。通过确定促进更高公共价值成果的个人行为和制度设计，该项目促进了对公共支持的科学如何被引导以优化公共利益和社会意义的理解，为在其他科学领域促进公共价值成果奠定了基础。这些调查结果通过与从业者社区的联系和分享关于有效伙伴关系战略的调查结果，将研究转化为实践。该项目制定了一般准则和指标，以协助设计知识伙伴关系和新的机构伙伴关系模式，以培育可持续发展方面的实际成果。公共价值理论是一个概念框架，已经在科学技术案例中得到了实证检验。这项研究的大部分重点是发展公共价值失败的类型学，并根据这些类型学来描述实例。该项目通过承认生物多样性研究中的公共价值结果是个人行为和制度安排的产物，扩展了这一研究路线，朝着在单个特定科学研究领域建立公共价值结果的因果基础的方向发展。使用包括半结构化访谈在内的实地研究方法，该项目考察了生物多样性研究人员相对于科学生产率的行为和态度。该项目考察了包括来自大学、政府和智库的研究人员网络如何合作影响不同类型的科学成果。

Conservation scientists acknowledge the importance of partnering with stakeholders in business, government, and non-governmental organizations to manage biodiversity. This research seeks to identify factors that increase the public value outcomes from these partnerships, which represent a form of knowledge transfer that advances scientific contributions to society. By identifying the individual behaviors and institutional designs that foster higher public value outcomes, this project advances understanding of how publicly supported science can be directed to optimize public benefits and social significance, building a foundation for advancing public value outcomes in other fields of science. The findings translate research into practice through connections with the practitioner communities and by sharing findings on effective partnership strategies. The project creates general guidelines and indicators to assist with knowledge partnership design and new models for institutional partnerships that cultivate practical outcomes in sustainability. Public value theory is a conceptual framework that has been examined empirically in science and technology cases. Much of this research has focused on developing typologies of public value failures and characterizing instances according to these typologies. This project extends this line of research by recognizing public value outcomes in biodiversity research as a product of both individual behaviors and institutional arrangements, moving towards establishing a causal basis for public value outcomes in a single, specific domain of scientific research. Using field study methods including semi-structured interviews, this project examines the behaviors and attitudes of biodiversity researchers relative to scientific productivity. The project examines how networks of researchers, including those from universities, government, and think tanks work together in affecting different types of scientific outcomes.
