Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between the educational and research performance of faculty members of the Faculty of Management, University of Tehran. Methodology: The statistical population of this study consists of faculty members of the Faculty of Management, University of Tehran. The present research is applied research based on the objective and is descriptive based on the research method and has been done with a scientometric approach. This study covers a 10-year course to evaluate the research performance and a 4-year course to evaluate the educational performance (teaching quantity). The data of this scientometric study were collected using the library studies method and the documents available in the Vice Chancellor for Research of the University of Tehran as well as the Faculty of Management. Findings: Findings showed that there is a direct and significant relationship between the variables of research performance and educational performance. No significant relationship was shown between gender and research performance. There is also a significant statistical relationship between academic rank and research performance and educational performance of faculty members. Conclusion: It is concluded that education performance and research performance are positively related to each other and a faculty member with good teaching quality needs to be strong in terms of research. Otherwise, they initiate the repetition of past topics in teaching. Good research performance of a faculty member can be considered a prerequisite for good teaching and good researchers apply the results of the previous research in their teaching.
