Abstract: The research productivity of management faculty is examined with a web-based survey and random sample of 236 faculty from a wide range of AACSB-accredited schools. Various hypotheses are tested to assess the influence of ||person|| variables (i.e., Big Five personality, individual research values, time management skills, career position) and situational variables (i.e., time availability, primary teaching audience, and institutional support) on research productivity. Based on the results, practical implications for selecting and developing university faculty as researchers and teachers are discussed.

Keywords: faculty research productivity; management educators; scholarship; student learning; person-situation theory; management practice; faculty selection; university faculty; higher education; research performance; teaching performance; management education.
