| Summary: | The objectives of this research were to 1) to study number of teaching hours, teaching experience, the level of opinion on research policy, self-awareness of research ability, attitude to conducting research, and the motivation for the lecturers’ research production at Hatyai University 2) to find out the Canonical Correlation between the factors correlated with the motivation for the lecturers’ research production of Hatyai University. The study was performed using stratified sampling The sample consisted of 208 lecturers at Hatyai University in the academic year 2019. A set of 36-item questionnaires with reliability of.84 was employed to collect the data. To analyze the data, the mean, the standard deviation, and the canonical correlation were employed. The results were as follows. 1) 53.85% lecturses hast teaching 1-10 hours/week. 67.5 % have teaching experienst a 1-7 years Tthe level of the factors correlated with the motivation for the lecturers’ research production was high at 3.56. Separately, the motivation fhe self-development reached the highest mean at 3.90 ; followed he attitude to conducting research at 3.64, and self-awareness of research competence at 3.51. 2) Canonica Correlation analysis of the factors correlated with the motivation for their research production showed that the first pair of (Rc ) was statistically significant at.001 and the Rc 2 (first pair) was at.4489. This signified that the teaching experience, the research policy of the institute, the awareness of research competence, the attitude to conducting research shared the variance with the motivation for the lecturers’ research production at 44.89 percent. The Standardized Coefficients played an important role in the calculation of the function. Arranged respectively from the least to the greatest values, they were the motivation, self-development, attitude to conducting research, research policy of the institute, awareness of research competence, career progression, and the teaching experience, while the number of teaching hours played no role in the calculation of the canonical function.
