| Abstract: | Drawing from self-efficacy theory and transcriptions of in-depth interviews, this study constructs a conjoint experiment that it then administers to 54 tenure-tracked assistant professors from two Research-I universities in the USA. Findings from their 1728 nested decisions show that the administrative effectiveness of outcome expectations and time constraints in encouraging highly uncertain, consensus-challenging research depends on the research self-efficacy of scholars. As expected, it was found that increases in anticipated credit are more effective at encouraging consensus-challenging research when scholars perceive themselves to be highly competent in the line of research being pursued. |
