A System Dynamics Analysis of National R D Performance Measurement System in Korea
share
Peer review is one of useful and powerful performance measurement process. In Korea, it needs to increase quality of R D performance, but bibliometric evaluation and lack of peers have opposite effect. We used system dynamics to describe Korean R D performance measurement system and ways to increase performance quality. To meet a desired R D performance quality, increasing fairness and quality of evaluation is needed. Size of peer pool decreased because of the specialization of R D projects and the Sangpi process both, and it is critical to acquire both fairness and quality. Also, shortening evaluation period affect to R D performance quality, by causing workloads increase, limiting long-term and innovative R D projects, and decreasing evaluation quality. Previous evaluation policies do a role like micro-controlling the R D's activities, but increasing the size of peer pool and changing evaluation period would make a change to quality and fairness of evaluation.
