An Empirical Study on the Influence of Institutional Support on Doctoral Research Ability——Analysis based on Data from the Nature's 2022 Global Postgraduate Survey
Doctoral education is the highest level of academic training in universities,and its quality is crucial to improving a country's scientific and technological competitiveness.Based on data from the Nature's 2022 Global Postgraduate Survey,the authors categorize the support provided by schools to doctoral students in organizational support and supervisors'support,including organizational financial support,organizational academic support,organizational emotional support and supervisors'support in four dimensions.By virtue of the AMOS 24.0 software,they build a multi-chain mediation model to demonstrate the interaction mechanism between school support,scientific research pressure,academic experience satisfaction and scientific research ability.The results show that each dimension of school support can significantly predict doctoral research ability,while the economic support dimension has a negative predictive effect.All the four dimensions can significantly predict the scientific research ability of doctoral students through academic experience satisfaction,while the dimension of organizational economic support has a"masking effect".Scientific research pressure and academic experience satisfaction play a chain mediating role between organizational emotional support,supervisors'support and scientific research ability.Therefore,it is proposed that higher-learning institutions should emphasize the key role of supervisors in the doctoral training process and consider the promotion of academic growth as an important goal of organizational instrumental support,and provide timely organizational emotional support to meet the real needs of doctoral students,so as to ultimately improve the scientific research ability of doctoral students.
