Many Roads to Success: Broadening Our Views of Academic Career Paths and Advice
基于19位顶尖学者的经验,讨论他们收到的职业建议及未遵循的部分,指出常见单一建议的陷阱,并倡导更公平地鼓励多元化的新一代研究者。
Advice is often given to junior scholars in the field of organization science to ostensibly facilitate their career success. In this commentary, we discuss insights from 19 elite scholars (i.e., Fellows and top journal editors) about the advice they received–and, often, did not follow–throughout their careers. We highlight some of the pitfalls from the current, all-too-common, and often singular advice given to junior scholars while also adding necessary nuance to the requirements to achieve success in our field. We conclude with advice on how to give better advice, thereby more equitably encouraging a new generation of increasingly diverse researchers and future professors.
