The Differentiation of the Supervisor-Postgraduate Relationship in the Governance System of Graduate Education:A Dual Principal-Agent Model
The supervisor-postgraduate relationship is a key part of the graduate education governance system,which is connected with the three core subjects of university,supervisor and postgraduate.In order to understand the behavior choice of supervisor-postgraduate relationship,the interaction logic and practical dilemma of supervisor-postgraduate relationship are analyzed from the perspective of principal agent theory.It is concluded that the supervisor-postgraduate relationship in the graduate education governance system presents a dual principal-agent model,including the formal principal-agent relationship established by contract between universities and supervisors and the informal principal-agent relationship formed by psychological contract between supervisors and postgraduates.Due to the interaction logic of"goal compatibility-information symmetry",coupled with the institutional structure constraints such as vertical pressure,rigid target,resource dependence and comprehensive assessment in universities,the education-oriented model has been declining rationally,the managerialism model has become prevalent,the distribution negotiation model has been difficult to maintain and the conflict and confrontation model has become increasingly frequent in the supervisor-postgraduate relationship.In the future,it is necessary to utilize incentive theory,reputation mechanism,incentive compatibility mechanism,promote the trinity reform of universities,supervisor and postgraduates in the graduate education governance system,optimize the graduate training environment comprehensively,so as to improve the overall efficiency of our country's high-level talent training model.
