abstract = {Purpose: The aim of this study is to empirically analyse how motivation and the opportunity to
investigate enhance the direct relation between the researcher’s human capital and individual scientific
performance.
Design/methodology: Following recent investigations of strategic human capital and the abilitiesmotivation-
opportunity (AMO) theory, we propose a double quantitative-qualitative methodology to
identify the determinants of individual scientific performance.
Findings: Applying regression analysis to a sample of 471 Spanish academic researchers, we confirm
the moderating role of a researcher’s motivation and opportunities.
Originality/value: Drawing on the empirical evidence obtained, this work discusses the relevant
determinants of scientific productivity, providing practical recommendations for research management
and policy making.},
