ABSTRACT Research publication has increasingly turned into academics’ top priority around the world. Since researchers’ professional survival/growth in the current competitive academic atmosphere hinges upon their research profile, there is a need for investigating how researchers’ possible selves may guide their research productivity. Therefore, in this study, we explored, through interviews and narratives, how ideal, ought-to, and feared selves of Applied Linguistics researchers at various academic career stages – doctoral students, assistant professors and associate professors – interact with their research productivity. The findings demonstrated that the ideal selves motivating the researchers to publish are oriented towards images of problem-solving or insight-providing, highly-focused, world-recognised, and influential life-long learner-researchers. Additionally, fears of ending up as publishing-or-perishing, unknowledgeable non-publishing, academically marginalised, and unfocused researchers are among the dimensions of researchers’ feared selves which guide their research productivity. Furthermore, researchers’ desires to gain visibility in the research community, fulfill the university requirements, preserve their international researcher positions, and turn into prolific publishing-practicing researchers trigger them to publish in top-tier publication outlets. The study provides practical implications for researchers, professors, and researcher educators.

应用语言学研究人员可能将自己作为指导他们研究效率的动力资源

摘要研究出版物已日益成为全球学者的头等大事。由于研究人员在当前竞争激烈的学术氛围中的专业生存/成长取决于他们的研究概况,因此有必要调查研究人员的自我可能如何指导他们的研究生产率。因此,在本研究中,我们通过访谈和叙述来探讨了应用语言学研究人员在各个学术职业阶段(博士生,助理教授和副教授)的理想,应当接受和担心的自我如何与他们的研究生产力相互作用。研究结果表明,激励研究人员发表论文的理想自我指向的是解决问题或提供见解,高度专注,世界认可,和有影响力的终身学习者。此外,对最终成为出版或灭亡,无知的非出版,学术边缘化和不专心的研究人员的恐惧,是指导研究生产力的研究人员恐惧自我的维度之一。此外,研究人员渴望获得研究团体的知名度,满足大学的要求,保留其国际研究人员的职位并转变为多产的从事出版业的研究人员,从而促使他们在顶级出版机构中进行出版。该研究为研究人员,教授和研究人员教育工作者提供了实际的启示。专注于研究人员的是研究人员恐惧自我的维度,这些维度指导着他们的研究生产力。此外,研究人员渴望获得研究团体的知名度,满足大学的要求,保留其国际研究人员的职位并转变为多产的从事出版业的研究人员,从而促使他们在顶级出版机构中进行出版。该研究为研究人员,教授和研究人员教育工作者提供了实际的启示。专注于研究人员的是研究人员恐惧自我的维度,这些维度指导着他们的研究生产力。此外,研究人员渴望获得研究团体的知名度,满足大学的要求,保留其国际研究人员的职位并转变为多产的从事出版业的研究人员,从而促使他们在顶级出版机构中进行出版。该研究为研究人员,教授和研究人员教育工作者提供了实际的启示。
