Abstract
This article explores the impact of two sets of variables on the scholarly productivity of undergraduate social work educators. The variables associated with individual research orientation which are the most significant predictors of recent productivity are number of statistics courses, interest in research, number of research projects during training, and liking research. Environmental variables which are evidenced as most related to recent productivity include faculty size, the importance of productivity for yearly evaluations, and collaboration with social work faculty. Of these two variable sets, individual orientation accounts for 13 percent of the variance in recent productivity and environmental variables account for 10 percent of the total variance.
