Exploring capacity tensions in collaboration: Challenges and strategies
&
The public administration literature has witnessed a turn towards stronger emphasis on causal inference and the use of experiments, and this also increasingly characterizes the public leadership literature. Particularly in leadership research, field experiments can be a necessary step for establishing causal evidence and at the same time maintain external validity of the studies. However, leadership is also difficult to manipulate as it is a processual concept that involves interaction and interference between people. But what are the gains from experimental leadership?
Social network methods are used to track changes in the structure of research collaboration over time. The submission of a scientific research proposals as a measure of an instance of collaboration is the basis of this research. Proposals represent a more complete view into collaboration activities than publications because the product studied does not depend on approval from exogenous reviewers. Proposals capture intent to collaborate and can be used as earlier indicators of collaboration than published work. For this study, a single proposal submitted for external funding by more than one investigator is an indicator of collaboration. Information in proposal archives for a 20 year period (2000-2020) is used to link each proposal to all investigators that collaborated to produce and submit the proposal to generate collaboration networks for all participating investigators for each year. Investigator attributes, including disciplinary background, rank, type of appointment, race, ethnicity and sex are used to test hypothesis about collaboration network structure related to inclusion and interdisciplinarity over time.
