Previous studies on the correlation between the academic mobility and research productivity and time management of the faculties show that the pattern of this link is ambiguous in different countries. Nevertheless, no attempts to explain these distinctions have been made. I suggest that this may be due to the discrepancy in academic systems of these countries. Based on this hypothesis, I compare the publication activity, time management and involvement in academic society of faculties with one-institution and several institution careers.in two countries with completely different academic systems. The data for the analysis is drawn from the international study «Changing Academic Profession». The evidence of multiple regression analysis show that the patterns of correlation between research productivity, time management and the type of academic's career are opposite for Russia and Germany. These results are in accordance with the initial hypothesis that the type of academic system of the country matters, but do not prove it. To test the hypothesis empirically a further research on reasons of such variation is needed.
