Abstract

This study explores the design, implementation, and evaluation of a research incentive mechanism in private universities. Private higher education institutions often face unique challenges in promoting research and innovation due to resource constraints and competition with public counterparts. The research incentive mechanism is designed to enhance research productivity, motivate faculty members, and cultivate a vibrant research culture. The implementation phase includes a pilot program, continuous monitoring, and feedback mechanisms, while assessment methods encompass quantitative and qualitative measures. Challenges are addressed through flexibility and fairness, and lessons learned inform future recommendations. A well-structured incentive mechanism has the potential to transform private universities into centers of research excellence, contributing to academic advancement and innovation.
