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