This study attempted to answer the research question: which are the main factors that affect academic staff’s research performance in Vietnam higher education context. By examining the impacts of three sets of factors – research motivation, research ability, and research environment, the study predicted that those factors will have a positive effect on academic research performance at both domestic and international level. The study used two categories of research performance outputs: 1) the total number of publications in domestic journals, and 2) the total number of publications in international journals from 2013 to 2017. To answer the research question, the study applied a quantitative research method with an online questionnaire and reached 207 respondents who are lecturers working at different universities in Vietnam. SAS system was used to conduct both descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the thesis suggest that research skills competency was the main factor that affect Vietnamese university teacher’s research performance at both domestic and international level, while English proficiency had a significant impact at international level only. In addition, social science’s academics were less skillful in term of research skills and less productive in research performance at international level than other science’s ones. The study suggests policy-makers and leaders should emphasis on research skills training program as well as academic English skills development for academics in order to improve one’s research performance, especially at international level.
