الملخص EN

The current study aims at investigating the problems of scientific research among faculty members in Jordanian public universities, in relation with some variables.

In order to achieve the study objectives the researchers used the analytical descriptive method to explore scientific research problems at Jordanian universities among the study sample, and to uncover the relationship between the explored problems and the study independent variables.

The researchers designed a questionnaire comprising five domains : personal, managerial, scientific, political and financial domains.

The study sample consists of (142) faculty members in four Jordanian universities : Yarmouk University, Science and Technology University, Al- Balqa’ Applied University and World Islamic University, for the academic year 2010 / 2011.

The study found that the problems of scientific research in Jordanian universities that listed on the scale were agreed upon by the sample in a high degree on the total domain of the scale.

Three partial domains: managerial, financial, and political domains were also in a high degree, in which the managerial problems have the first order of scientific research problems, then the financial and political problems in the second and third order.

While both personal and scientific problems don’t have an order between the rest of domains.

There were no statistical differences at the level of (a = 0.05) in the degree of agreement on the problems of scientific research due to any independent variable on the whole domain of the scale, in which there is a difference for age group variable on the domain of political problems in favor of age group between (33-54) year.

A number of recommendations have been formulated.
