Time Budget Survey of University Researchers

研究项目的目的是调查大学研究人员在时间预算方面的研究环境。为实现该目标，执行以下操作。(1)相关统计调查制度的调查我们调查了日本的相关统计调查制度，例如研究和开发调查（统计局，管理和协调机构）。本文还收集了经济合作与发展组织（OECD）和美国的相关调查制度的文献，对有关FTE（全职当量）的调查方法和手册进行了研究。(2)对部分大学研究人员进行预备性调查对文学、历史学、经济学、法学、物理学、农业、临床医学、医学、药学、教育学、美术学等领域的部分大学研究人员进行预备性访谈调查，设计时间预算调查框架。(3)时间预算调查框架的设计在上述准备工作的基础上，设计了调查框架和问卷，对高校科研人员的科研活动、科研环境和时间预算进行了调查。(4)时间预算调查的实施时间预算调查采用访问和邮寄两种方式进行。两次调查共收集了超过1，100个样本。通过对调查结果的分析，得出了高校科研人员时间预算的总体特征。(5)根据对结果的分析，我们估计了一些FTE。

The Aim of the research project is to investigate research environment of university researchers in terms of time budgets. The followings are performed to accomplish the aim.(1) Investigations of relevant statistical survey systemsWe investigated relevant statistical survey systems in Japan, for example, the survey of Research and Development (Statistics Bureau, Management and Coordination Agency). We also collected documents of the relevant survey systems in both OECD and USA to investigate survey methods and manuals concerning with FTE (full time equivalent).(2) Preparatory surveys toward some university researchersPreparatory interview surveys toward some university researchers in the fields of literature, history studies, economics, law, physics, agriculture, clinical medicines, medical sciences, pharmacy, education, fine arts, and so on, to design of framework of time budget surveys.(3) Design of framework of time budget surveyBased on preparations as stated above, we designed the framework and questionnaires to investigate research activities, research environment and time budgets of university researchers.(4) Carrying out the time budget surveyThe time budget surveys were carried out by both visiting and mail surveys. More than 1,100 samples were obtained in both survey. Analyzing the survey results, we obtained overall features of time budgets of university researchers.(5) Considerations of Full Time EquivalentAccording to analysis of results, we estimated some FTEs.
