Abstract：Based on the sampling survey data of national science and technology workers in 2008 and 2017,through measurement indicators and statistical methods such as the Gini coefficient and quantile measurement,this paper demonstrates the unequal situation and changing trends in the acquisition of funds among scientific research personnel during the process of China's science and technology system reform,and analyzes the factors influencing the acquisition of funds by scientific research personnel and the changes in their effects from three aspects:the individual,the organization,and the region.The study finds that the concentration degree of funds for scientific research personnel in China was relatively high in both surveys,but compared with 2008,the concentration degree in 2017 was somewhat alleviated.From the perspective of influencing factors,universalistic factors such as professional titles and educational backgrounds that reflect the individual scientific research strength had a significant impact in both years,and the impact effect of professional titles slightly increased.The influence of particularistic factors such as administrative positions was also relatively significant,but the impact effect had a significant decline;the differences among different unit types and unit levels were significant and showed an upward trend in the past decade.Further Shapley value decomposition results show that the explanatory power of individual-level factors of scientific research personnel for fund acquisition is decreasing,while the resource acquisition effect based on advantaged units and advantaged regions is strengthening.This finding indicates that the allocation model of scientific research funds in China became more reasonable from 2008 to 2017,and relevant reform measures have shown effectiveness.However,the issue of unbalanced resource allocation among different unit levels and different regions deserves attention in the future.
