博士后学术职业发展的全球图景与本土样态OACHSSCD
Global patterns and local dynamics of postdoctoral academic career development:evidence from the Nature global postdoc survey
博士后作为个体学术生涯的关键过渡期,其职业保障与学术发展的结构性矛盾日益凸显.采用2023 年 Nature 全球博士后调查数据,基于职业锚理论与社会认知职业理论,构建"维持—发展"双维职业锚理论框架,系统考察博士后职业锚类型及其对学术职业发展的影响.研究发现,全球博士后普遍面临"高发展期望、低保障感知"的结构性挑战.依据"维持"与"发展"双维得分,典型国家博士后职业锚可划分为四种类型:领航者(高维持—高发展)、攀登者(低维持—高发展)、漂泊者(低维持—低发展)和定居者(高维持—低发展).不同国家的博士后职业锚类型分布呈现出多样化的组合特征,反映出各国博士后制度环境与发展阶段的多样性."高维持—高发展"型职业锚对博士后学术职业发展具有显著正向驱动效应;"低维持—高发展"型职业锚对中国博士后学术职业发展影响甚微,仅在学术认可度的维度呈轻微正向效应.据此,中国可通过从制度层面重塑博士后学术身份、从机构层面构建多维支持体系、从个体层面强化韧性策略促进博士后学术职业发展.
The postdoctoral period represents a critical transitional stage in an individua'l s academic career,where structural tensions between career security and scholarly development are increasingly evident.Using data from the 2023 Nature global postdoc survey,this study draws on career anchor theory and social cognitive career theory to construct a two-dimensional"maintenance-development"career anchor framework and systematically examines types of postdoctoral career anchors and their effects on academic career development.The findings reveal that postdoctoral researchers worldwide generally face a structural tension characterized by high developmental expectations but low perceived career security.Based on the two dimensions of maintenance and development,postdoctoral career anchors across representative countries can be classified into four types:navigators(high maintenance-high development),climbers(low maintenance-high development),drifters(low maintenance-low development),and settlers(high maintenance-low development).The distribution of postdoctoral career anchor types across different countries exhibits diverse compositional patterns,reflecting the diversity of national postdoctoral institutional environments and development stages.Empirical results further indicate that the high maintenance-high development career anchor exerts a significant positive effect on postdoctoral academic career development.In contrast,the low maintenance-high development career anchor has limited influence on the academic career development of Chinese postdoctoral researchers,showing only a marginal positive effect on the dimension of academic recognition.The academic career development of postdoctoral researchers in China should be promoted through reshaping academic identity at the institutional level,constructing a multi-dimensional support system at the organizational level,and reinforcing resilience strategies at the individual level.
