The general objective of this study is to discuss the effectiveness of the productivity grant (Bolsa de Produtividade em Pesquisa) in supporting the development of scientific research in the field of Business Administration in Brazil, by means of a comparison of the technical/scientific production of the most prolific researchers that receive such support from CNPq, the Brazilian Scientific Research Sponsoring Agency) with those who do not. Data on the 178 grant holders (as for August 2013) and the 178 most prolific researchers without the grant for the areas of Business, Accounting and Tourism were manually collected from their Lattes resumes, or using the ScripLattes software, for the period from 2010 to 2012. A survey was also carried out with researchers, with the intent to understand their perception with respect to many issues concerning graduate research. Results show that grant holders and the other prolific graduate school professors are mainly men (70.79%). UFRGS, FGV/SP and USP are the institutions with higher number of grant holders in their schools, while USP, Uninove and UFSC have the majority of the other prolific researchers. The concentration of grant holders and other prolific researchers graduate schools in the Southeastern Brazil is clear. During the period of three years for which data were collected, grant holders published 692 papers in high impact journals (A1 or A2), 1,019 papers in medium impact journals (B1 or B2) and 743 papers in low impact journals (B3, B4 or B5). Other prolific graduate school professors published 512, 1,368 and 1,114 papers in journals with those impact levels, respectively. In proceedings 905 papers were published by grant holders and 4,657 papers by the other prolific researchers. Grant holders have a history of larger production along the career, while the other prolific researchers were more productive, from various analysis perspectives, along the last three years. Grant holders and the other prolific researchers that participated actively of the research, answering the survey, acknowledged knowledge of the grant concession criteria, but think there are problems in the process and subjectivity in the evaluation process. Regarding the understanding about academics productivity and productivism, both groups highlighted that graduate education and the scientific production of the country improved as a result of the implementation of performance metrics. However, there have different opinions concerning the obtained results of the use of such mechanisms to boost productivity: (i) some researchers consider academic produtivism a prevalent phenomenon and claim they feel their harmful effects; (II) others consider the higher academic production as a good result that needs to be celebrated; (III) others still consider that the graduate sponsoring agencies impose the rules, but that produtivism is created in co-responsability with the researchers, who are anxious to obtain a satisfactory performance regarding the imposed metrics. There are several different perceptions concerning the produtivict/productivism scenario. In spite of that, grant holders and the other prolific graduate school professors of the areas of Business are satisfied with their profession and happy to be part of the staff of a graduate program.
