Abstract Background In the process of modernization, Chinese universities play an important role in the innovation and development of scientific research. In 2015, the Chinese government vigorously promoted the construction of world-class universities, raising the overall level of scientific and technological innovation in Chinese universities. Existing researches and policies only focus on the impact of a single academic condition on the performance of scientific and technological innovation in universities, and lack of a holistic approach. Purpose/hypothesis This study aims to explore the factors influencing the performance of science and technology innovation in Chinese universities, obtain the necessary conditional variables and allocation factors, and provide policy Suggestions for the development of higher education and scientific research in China in the new era through empirical research. Therefore, the research question of this paper is: what are the comprehensive factors that affect the performance of scientific and technological innovation in universities? From the perspective of policy making, how can universities improve the performance of scientific and technological innovation? Design/method Firstly, on the basis of literature research, condition variables are listed as references. Secondly, resource dependence theory is used to establish a model, and descriptive variables are selected according to university types, human capital resources and academic resources. Thirdly, according to the model, the data of 42 world-class universities in China are analyzed. Finally, according to the factors of output allocation, seven paths influencing the scientific and technological innovation performance of Chinese universities are classified, and policy Suggestions are put forward to improve the scientific and technological innovation performance. Conclusion 1. From the development experience of Chinese universities, engineering advantage universities or comprehensive universities tend to focus on academic papers in order to achieve higher scientific and technological innovation performance 2. China's leading engineering universities have more strategic combinations and less dependence on a single resource element. 3. Engineering advantage universities need to focus on adjusting the allocation of human capital resources, while comprehensive universities need to fully guarantee academic resources, avoid dependence on a single resource element, and realize "multiple equilibrium" of resource allocation.
