It was also identified five sub-themes: “Perceived need for authority and justice in scientific activities ", "Financial motives",” Incentive system (tangible and intangible support) of academic activities ",” Perceived need for a complementary atmosphere", and “Perceived need for a collaborative atmosphere".
