Abstract

This study analyzes patenting motivators and demotivators of Slovenian researchers engaged in scientifi c research throughout the entire research process with a special focus on internal factors using the qualitative research approach. Based on 39 in depth interviews it was found that the research process and subsequent patenting activities are infl uenced by different researchers’ internal factors, identifi ed as motivating or demotivating. They can be further classifi ed into homogenous groups in each phase of the patenting process, with different infl uence on the patenting process. A conceptual model for further analyses of the researcher’s patenting process has been proposed.
