Abstract
Universities have now assumed a third mission of adding value to research for societal benefit. Academic researchers are thus the engine of valorization of research though they are influenced by the existing HRM system in their universities. The purpose of this study was to establish the influence employee development system on valorization of academic research in chartered universities in Kenya. The study employed an explanatory design and targeted 372 respondents using self-administered questionnaires. Data collected was analyzed with the help of Statistical Package for Social Sciences and the findings presented in tables. The study established that employee development system had a moderately strong and positively correlation with valorization of academic research The study concluded that employee development system significantly influenced valorization of academic research. We recommend the need for universities in Kenya to strengthen their employee development system in line with the need to enhance valorization of academic research. We also recommend the establishment of standard university metrics for valorization of academic research in Kenya so as to stimulate and enhance the valorization agenda.
