Abstract

As international mobility of the high-caliber manpower increases, recruitment of the brain from overseas becomes a critical factor in determining national innovation capacity. This paper reviewed the theories of reverse brain drain, summarized the factors for recruitment of the brain from abroad, and empirically analyzed priority of the factors through the survey on overseas scientists from Vietnam, using conjoint analysis. The results of the analysis shows that high-level salaries, proper research environments, and environment for child education were the important factors. Factors such as scientists respect culture and career development opportunities are not considered important. This paper shows that the exceptionally higher salary should be paid and it also indicates that the policy determination from Vietnam government should be made accordingly.

고급 두뇌의 국제적 유동성이 증가함에 따라 우수한 해외 과학기술 인력의 유치는 국가 혁신역량을 좌우하는 주요한 요소가 되었다. 본 연구는 역두뇌유출에 관한 여러 이론들을 정리하여 해외우수인력을 유치하기 위한 요인들을 파악하였고, 이 요인들을 베트남 출신 해외과학자를 대상으로 설문을 실시하여 컨조인트 분석방법을 통하여 실증적으로 분석하였다. 분석한 결과, (1)높은 급여수준, (2)적합한 연구여건, (3)자녀교육 여건 순으로 중요도가 높은 것으로 분석되었고, 과학자 예우문화, 능력경력 발전기회는 중요도가 극히 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 적정한 급여수준에 대해서는 현 베트남 과학기술자들의 급여수준에 비해 파격적인 대우가 필요한 것으로 파악되어, 베트남 정부의 정책적 결정이 필요한 것으로 분석되었다.
