A Structural Model for Influencing Factors of Research Ethics Awareness in Health and Medical Science Researchers

The purpose of this study was to investigate research ethics awareness for health and medical science researchers. The variables for the study included intrinsic motivation, knowledge sharing for research ethics awareness. The data were collected from 254 employees of the research ethics awareness who gave their informed consent and completed a self-reported questionnaire in May, 2017. A path analysis model was established and used to assess parameters such as research ethics concern, intrinsic motivation, knowledge sharing for research ethics awareness. The fitness of the hypothetical model was adequate(X2=49.585, GFI=0.954, NFI=0.895, CFI=0.915, IFI=0.916, RMR=0.021). Research ethics interest was found to have a positive influence on intrinsic motivation, knowledge sharing, and research ethics consciousness. Intrinsic motivation as a parameter was positively (+) influence on knowledge sharing. SMC (Squared Multiple Correlations) is a multiple correlation coefficient which is explained by exogenous variables, and explanatory power of intrinsic motivation, knowledge sharing, and research ethics are 15.2%, 24.0% and 18.0%, respectively. Research ethics interest in the research ethics of health and medical science researchers was significant as direct and indirect effects. In order for the correct ethical consciousness to be established, it is necessary to raise the interest in research ethics, and to establish an intervention strategy to strengthen the intrinsic motivation of the research as well as sharing knowledge among researchers.
