Economic development can be achieved through knowledge-based growth. In this respect, universities have a significant role to produce knowledge and contribute innovation management through their research and development activities. However, too many obstacles bring difficulties on academicians to develop projects to increase innovation capabilities of the countries. The aim of this study is to identify the factors affecting attitudes of academicians towards research and development projects. In this study, an attitude scale and a structural model were developed to identify the key factors. According to the consequences obtained, perception of self-worth, perceived self-efficacy, reputation, anxiety, team interaction and justice factors directly and significantly affect academicians' attitudes towards project development. It is envisaged that identification of the factors affecting academicians' attitudes towards project development leads to rethink the obstacles of universities to become targeted innovative and entrepreneurial universities, contributing the enhancement of innovation, and produce projects that support the country's economy and solve social problems.

Ekonomik gelişme bilgiye dayalı büyüme ile sağlanabilir. Bu bağlamda, üniversiteler araştırma ve geliştirme faaliyetleri aracılığıyla bilgi üretme ve yenilik yönetimine katkı sağlama konusunda önemli bir role sahiptir. Ancak, bir çok engel, akademisyenlerin ülkelerin inovasyon yeteneklerini artırmaya yönelik projeler geliştirmelerinde zorluklar yaşamasına neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, akademisyenlerin araştırma ve geliştirme projelerine yönelik tutumlarını etkileyen faktörleri belirlemektir. Bu çalışmada, temel faktörleri belirlemek için bir tutum ölçeği ve yapısal bir model geliştirilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, öz-değer algısı, algılanan öz yeterlilik, itibar, kaygı, takım etkileşimi ve adalet faktörleri akademisyenlerin proje geliştirmeye yönelik tutumlarını doğrudan ve önemli derecede etkilemektedir. Akademisyenlerin proje geliştirmeye yönelik tutumlarını etkileyen faktörlerin tespit edilmesi ile, üniversitelerin hedeflenen yenilikçi ve girişimci üniversiteler olmalarının önündeki engelleri yeniden düşünmeye, yenilikçiliğin artmasına katkı sağlamaya, ülke ekonomisini destekleyen ve toplumsal sorunları çözen projeler üretmeye yol açacağı öngörülmektedir.
