Purpose This research aims to explore the professional identity of supervisors and their perceptions of stress in doctoral learning supervision. The research determines ways of developing strategies of resilience and well-being to overcome stress, leading to positive outcomes for supervisors and students. Design/methodology/approach Research is in two parts: first, rescrutinising previous work, and second, new interviews with international and UK supervisors gathering evidence of doctoral supervisor stress, in relation to professional identity, and discovering resilience and well-being strategies. Findings Supervisor professional identity and well-being are aligned with research progress, and effective supervision. Stress and well-being/resilience strategies emerged across three dimensions, namely, personal, learning and institutional, related to emotional, professional and intellectual issues, affecting identity and well-being. Problematic relationships, change in supervision arrangements, loss of students and lack of student progress cause stress. Balances between responsibility and autonomy; uncomfortable conflicts arising from personality clashes; and the nature of the research work, burnout and lack of time for their own work, all cause supervisor stress. Developing community support, handling guilt and a sense of underachievement and self-management practices help maintain well-being. Research limitations/implications Only experienced supervisors (each with four doctoral students completed) were interviewed. The research relies on interview responses. Practical implications Sharing information can lead to informed, positive action minimising stress and isolation; development of personal coping strategies and institutional support enhance the supervisory experience for supervisors and students. Originality/value The research contributes new knowledge concerning doctoral supervisor experience, identity and well-being, offering research-based information and ideas on a hitherto under-researched focus: supervisor stress, well-being and resilience impacting on supervisors’ professional identity.

The paper is devoted to the development of an integrated structural system model to ensure the training of highly qualified personnel for air transport. The main strategic directions of development and successful activity of National Aviation University at the present stage are determined. It is proved that the formation of the strategy involves obtaining a complete picture of the future state of the aviation industry and ways to solve existing problems. It is scientifically substantiated that the solution of this issue is possible through a detailed analysis of the components of the integrated system and the application of modern management methods. Research work at the university is the main component of the educational process. Scientific and pedagogical workers, post-graduate students, doctoral students and a significant part of higher education students take part in conducting scientific research in these areas. Scientists of the university carry out complex research work in the most relevant areas of science and technology. The university has 17 specialized councils for the defense of doctoral and candidate dissertations in 29 specialties The economic performance of any higher education institution directly depends on competitiveness and financial condition. In 2020 NAU took the sixth place in the ranking of the most popular institutions of higher education in Ukraine in the total number of applications. According to the number of entrants enrolled in the budget, it ranks fifth in Ukraine and third in the capital For the professional development of the aviation industry, due to modern economic and social conditions, it is necessary to increase the demand for technical specialties. Training specialists for professional activities in the context of European integration requires the search for extraordinary ways to organize the educational process. Already today we have a big problem of lack of future engineers for aviation.

The article is devoted to the analysis of interdisciplinary humanitarian studies and the 30th anniversary of the scientific school established by the Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, Professor, Doctor of Art History Tatyana Semenovna Zlotnikova. Yaroslavl State Pedagogical University, where the well-known Russian scientific school of cultural studies was born, is also home to the World of the Russian Province Research Center, the Dissertation Council, and several journals reviewed by the Higher Attestation Commission. Professor T.S. Zlotnikova is the founder and scientific leader of these institutions. The success of scientific work is measured today as a global scientific demand, and practical significance for its local space. Scientists from the best research centers in Russia participate in annual "Yaroslavl conferences", grant projects and publications. Yaroslavl cultural projects involve all age and professional levels: from students, undergraduates, postgraduates to doctoral students and professors. However, even with the mass audience, Professor Zlotnikova and her students are talented at building a dialogue. This article deals primarily with the methodology and publishing genres put forward by the Yaroslavl Scientific School of Cultural Studies: an analysis of the creative personality, the concept of Russian mass culture and a fundamentally new textbook on cultural studies. The publications of Professor T. S. Zlotnikova and her colleagues on these problems have a significant heuristic potential, are of high practical significance and have been awarded numerous grants. On the one hand, the 30th anniversary of the Yaroslavl scientific school of cultural studies is a phenomenon of scientific life; on the other hand, the analysis of topical problems of cultural studies based on the material of the multigenre editions of Professor T.S. Zlotnikova is a methodological and research work

Roles And Responsibilities

Historically, student affairs professionals focused their work almost exclusively on undergraduate students. Doctoral faculty remained focused on the comprehensive needs of doctoral students. However, this situation is changing. Due largely to growth in numbers and diversity of graduate students, student affairs professionals at colleges and universities across the country are increasingly redefining their visions and their roles to include graduate students, including doctoral students. This research study focuses on the roles currently held by faculty in four fields of doctoral study (clinical psychology, nursing, educational administration, and electrical and computer engineering) at 12 universities in order to illuminate the comprehensive nature of the work currently being done by doctoral faculty. Interviews were conducted with 128 doctoral faculty, students, administrators, alumni, and employers. Findings detail the roles and responsibilities of faculty in four thematic areas: (1) scholarly activity and research productivity, (2) advising and mentoring, (3) selection and retention of students, and (4)defining and shaping of program culture. The findings from this study provide information that may be useful to student affairs professionals who plan to include doctoral students in their purview and who seek to better understand the work of doctoral faculty as they move in that direction.

Abstract Th aim of the paper is to present findings of a study on information sources and information behavior of doctoral students at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing at the University of Zagreb, Croatia. The study also looked into student perceptions of the role of the academic library and their attitudes toward it as a legitimate partner in the research process, as doctoral students are required to publish the results of their doctoral research in high-ranking peer-reviewed journals during their course of study. However, they rarely use the library and its services; the study was undertaken with the intent to obtain insight into the students’ information behavior as well as needs and reasons for overlooking the library as a relevant partner in their research process. The online survey was conducted on a sample of 138 postgraduate students, with semi-structured interviews with five postgraduate students also conducted. The findings show a dominant student orientation towards online sources such as online databases and Google Scholar. Students tend to overlook the library as a relevant information source but have positive attitudes toward librarians (their knowledge, skills and courtesy). The library needs to become more active in promoting its services and, especially in the domain of postgraduate education, needs to be regarded as a necessary location for any serious research work, where librarians are regarded as cooperating partners in the research process. There were a few limitations of the study: respondents were unwilling to dedicate their time to this research and therefore the interviews were too short to examine the topics discussed in-depth, while the sample was extremely homogeneous, making the results only in part transferable to other contexts.
