学术职业社会化的二次飞跃:博士后阶段的惯习重塑与角色突破
The Second Leap in Academic Career Socialization:Habitus Reshaping and Role Breakthrough in the Postdoctoral Stage
摘要
Abstract
Postdoctoral researchers are gradually becoming a vital talent pool for faculty recruitment in Chinese universities,making their academic career development crucial for enhancing higher education faculty construction.The existing research has paid limited attention to the socialization process of postdoctoral researchers transition into academic careers,leaving their academic career socialization as a"black box"that urgently requires exploration.Through in-depth interviews with 40 postdoctoral researchers in scientific fields at China's"Double First-Class"universities,an investigation was made on the specific processes and underlying mechanisms of academic career socialization of postdoctoral researchers.The findings show that:firstly,securing a desired academic position serves as the primary motivation for postdoctoral researchers' academic career socialization.Secondly,cultivating independence constitutes the core logic of their socialization process.Postdoctoral researchers reshape their academic habits from"dependent research"to"independent research"by independently producing knowledge and proactively integrating into academic communities.Also,they achieve role breakthroughs through self-adjustment of professional identity by constructing an independent academic identity.Thirdly,the validation of independent research capabilities emerges as the critical determinant of successful academic career transition.Crucially,sustained self-agency serves as the endogenous driver,while institutional support and supervisory mentorship jointly constitute enabling conditions for socialization,which reflects that the key to the socialization of the postdoctoral academic profession lies in the formation of independent abilities required for the academic profession,and embodies the postdoctoral students' self-breakthroughs in multiple aspects such as academic research,interpersonal interaction,and identity shaping in order to achieve independence.Accordingly,postdoctoral scholars should focus on"self-determination over discipline",and strengthen the cultivation of independence through self-motivation,including expanding multidimensional participation in faculty responsibilities to strengthen pre-career preparation,stimulating academic autonomy and enhancing independent research capabilities,reconstructing scholarly identity to overcome role transition barriers.Universities should focus on"incentive"rather than"selection",supporting the academic career development of postdoctoral researchers through institutional support.Specifically,it includes:enhancing the value orientation of pre-employment training,reducing the utilitarian color of temporary use;building a support system for independent innovation,enhancing incentives rather than selection;and smoothing the career development channels,optimizing the employment allocation mechanism.关键词
