Abstract
This paper studied the effect of postdoctoral system in China on the construction of university faculty in order to promote the construction of university faculty. Based on content analysis, principal component analysis and structural equation model, three influence factors of Chinese postdoctoral system on the university faculty were determined as postdoctoral researchers, university and other factors. Comparison results of case study showed that there is no significant difference in output between the postdoctoral faculty and doctoral faculty in short-term. However, in the long-term, postdoctoral faculty have better output on scientific research papers, scientific fund and supervising postgraduates.
