Previous research regarding PhD students’ well-being (PhD-WB) has lacked a comprehensive and systemic analysis. This research engages with a systems approach to examine the multiple variables, including feedback mechanisms, which influence PhD-WB over time. The model was developed using a structural analysis method (Cross-impact analysis MICMAC) that informed a causal loop diagram (CLD). The aim was to understand what promotes (drivers) and inhibits (barriers) PhD students’ well-being. The results show that PhD students’ well-being reflects an interplay between university, financial support, students’ mental and physical health, and family/friends. However, the analysis shows that the role of the drivers is dynamic, and they can become barriers in certain circumstances. This insight validates the application of systems thinking to illustrate the complexity of PhD students’ well-being.

审查博士生幸福感的系统方法:一个澳大利亚案例

以前关于博士生的幸福感的研究缺乏全面和系统的分析。这项研究采用一种系统方法来检查多个变量,包括随时间影响PhD-WB的反馈机制。该模型是使用结构分析方法(交叉影响分析MICMAC)开发的,该方法告知了因果关系图(CLD)。目的是了解什么能够促进(驱动)和抑制(阻碍)博士生的福祉。结果表明,博士生的幸福感反映了大学,经济支持,学生的身心健康以及家人/朋友之间的相互作用。但是,分析表明,驱动因素的作用是动态的,在某些情况下它们可能成为障碍。
