Property Rights Analysis of Disordered Supervisor-Postgraduate Relationship and Institutional Regulation——Based on the Perspective of Property Rights Theory
The disordered relationship between supervisors and postgraduates is a conundrum that restricts the high-quality development of postgraduate education and reflects the intrinsic predicament of postgraduate education in China.From the perspective of the property rights theory,this study explores in depth the internal mechanism and regulatory path of the disordered supervisor-postgraduate relationship.It is found that the supervisor-postgraduate relationship implies the property right attribute,and the incentive distribution formed by the clear and protected property rights arrangement for both supervisors and postgraduates is the key to constructing an efficient cooperation mechanism.The internal mechanism of the disordered relationship between supervisors and postgraduates can be described as follows:the disregard of the"rational person"status in the supervisor-postgraduate relationship is the inducement of the disordered relationship;the imbalance of the benefit mechanism triggered by the lack of property rights system is the symptom of the disordered relationship;and the lack of the property right ethics is the root cause of the disordered relationship.Based on the analysis,this paper proposes the path governing disordered supervisor-postgraduate relationship:follow the principle of rational choice to fully understand the real meaning of property rights in the relationship between supervisors and postgraduates;clarify and protect property rights to ensure a balance of benefits between supervisors and postgraduates;and regulate and legalize property rights ethics so as to respect and safeguard the legitimate property rights of supervisors and postgraduates.
