Studies focusing on the activity of teacher-researchers are a field that is not well invested in the Senegalese context. To contribute to the reflection in this field, the Cheikh Anta Diop University (the most important university in Senegal) has been our empirical field. The data collected at this institution made it possible to compare the types of research conducted in the sample surveyed with what is known from the literature on research profiles. In each of the research activities identified in the sample, we tried to understand some relevant dimensions of performance in relation to what the management literature teaches about this concept. Among other things, the study reveals that the performance considered from a "success" perspective is one of the most salient aspects of the empirical data. Through this facet, we discover the logic of stewardship theory where each respondent (each teacher-researcher) tries to highlight the interest and success of the team, the group and more broadly the organization where he is an actor.

Abstract
Studies focusing on the activity of teacher-researchers are a field that is not well invested in the Senegalese context. To contribute to the reflection in this field, the Cheikh Anta Diop University (the most important university in Senegal) has been our empirical field. The data collected at this institution made it possible to compare the types of research conducted in the sample surveyed with what is known from the literature on research profiles. In each of the research activities identified in the sample, we tried to understand some relevant dimensions of performance in relation to what the management literature teaches about this concept. Among other things, the study reveals that the performance considered from a "success" perspective is one of the most salient aspects of the empirical data. Through this facet, we discover the logic of stewardship theory where each respondent (each teacher-researcher) tries to highlight the interest and success of the team, the group and more broadly the organization where he is an actor.

Abstract: (french)
Les études s’intéressant à l’activité des enseignants chercheurs constituent un domaine peu exploré dans le contexte sénégalais. Pour contribuer à la réflexion dans ce domaine, l’Université Cheikh Anta Diop (la plus importante université au Sénégal) a constitué notre terrain empirique. Les données recueillies dans cette institution et exploitées à l’aide de l’analyse de contenu ont permis de confronter les types de recherche entrepris dans l’échantillon enquêté avec ce qu’on sait de la littérature sur les profils de recherche. Dans chacune des activités de recherche identifiées dans l’échantillon, nous avons essayé d’appréhender certaines dimensions pertinentes de la performance en rapport avec ce que la littérature en gestion enseigne sur ce concept. L’étude révèle, entre autres, que la performance envisagée sous l’angle « succès » est l’une des facettes les plus saillantes dans les données empiriques. A travers cette facette, nous découvrons la logique de la théorie de l’intendance où chaque enquêté (chaque enseignant-chercheur) essaie de mettre en avant l’intérêt, la réussite de l’équipe, du groupe et plus largement de l’organisation où il est acteur.
Author Keywords: Recherche, Performance, enseignant-chercheur.
