Abstract
The development of Routine to Research (R2R) has emerged as an important strategy for personal and organizational development. However, the successful implementation of R2R depends on many factors that motivate individuals to engage in research activities. This article presents the results of data analysis and synthesis gained from trainings, interviews and brainstorming from the process of R2R driving for backward 13 years about strategies to support R2R by revealing insights for organizations to be adopted as guidelines to their personnel development. Our findings reveal 5 key factors influencing an individual’s decision making to undertake R2R, namely:
- Motivation: Career advancement and financial incentives serve as primary motivators.
- Experience: Expertise in one's role is crucial as R2R often originates from frontline experiences.
- Collaboration: Collaborative planning from the start significantly boosts R2R engagement.
- Support Systems: The availability of in-house facilitators and clear organizational policies supporting R2R are essential. However, using R2R as part of performance appraisals might bring negative effects.
- Barriers: Heavy workloads, a lack of research experience and writing skills, and complex research methodologies are significant challenges. Additionally, a lack of in-house R2R mentors can hinder initial engagement.
In conclusion, even though R2R offers immense potential for personal and organizational growth, its success is contingent upon a supportive environment, clear motivations, the proper provision of necessary resources and effective guidance.
