Research Productivity of Graduates in Management: Effects of Academic Origin and Academic Affiliation

Abstract

We examined the relationships among status of academic origin, status of academic affiliation, and research productivity for a sample of doctoral graduates in management. Contrary to expectations, the status of a graduate's academic origin did not appear to be strongly associated with his or her research productivity. The status of his or her academic affiliation, however, had a relatively strong association with research productivity in terms of both number of publications in top journals and citation counts of these publications.
