[Purpose/significance] This study aims to explore the construction of a group portrait of the motivation for organized research collaboration behavior among philosophy and social sciences researchers, so as to provide decision support for promoting organized research collaboration in this field. [Method/process] Firstly, through a three-stage interview method combining one-on-one interviews, focus groups, and expert consultations, and based on the self-de⁃termination theory, the motivations for collaboration behavior were identified. Subsequently, the K-means algorithm was used to cluster the survey data and construct the group portrait of the motivation for organized research collabora⁃tion behavior among philosophy and social sciences researchers. [Result/conclusion] The study identified nine types of collaboration motivations, including four types of intrinsic motivations (co-innovation motivation, problem-solving motivation, academic exchange motivation, and social service motivation) and five types of extrinsic motivations (policy response motivation, resource integration motivation, efficiency improvement motivation, profit orientation motivation,and talent cultivation motivation). Four types of group portraits were constructed: profit orientation dominant type, so⁃cial service dominant type, resource integration-co-innovation dual dominant type, and talent cultivation-academic ex⁃change dual dominant type. The study interpreted and analyzed these different group portraits and put forward corre⁃sponding strategic suggestions for promoting organized collaboration in the field of philosophy and social sciences.
