Doctoral student well-being is an important matter that shapes the well-being of academics throughout their careers. Given that well-being has been found to be closely related to employee productivity and efficiency, strategies associated with maintaining well-being during PhD studies might be crucial for higher education, its outcomes and-just as importantly-for a balanced life of PhD students. Method: Based on 17 studies, this literature review critically assesses the literature on doctoral student well-being. Results: Theoretical models, concepts of well-being, and methods applied are discussed, as are the results of the articles. The reviewed studies are then discussed based on a SWOT analysis addressing the strengths and weaknesses of the reviewed research as well as the identified opportunities and threats, which can be used as a basis for future research. Based on the review findings and the SWOT analysis, a multidimensional view of the well-being of doctoral students is proposed. Conclusions: The study proposes a more student-centred approach to meeting doctoral students' needs, and the enhancement of doctoral student well-being in order, as a long-term goal, to improve academics' well-being and productivity.Doctoral student well-being is an important matter that shapes the well-being of academics throughout their careers.

博士生的幸福感是一个重要问题,它贯穿学者整个职业生涯,塑造着他们的幸福感。鉴于幸福感已被发现与员工的生产力和效率密切相关,在博士学习期间与维持幸福感相关的策略可能对高等教育、其成果至关重要,同样重要的是,对博士生的平衡生活也至关重要。方法:基于17项研究,本综述对有关博士生幸福感的文献进行了批判性评估。结果:讨论了理论模型、幸福感概念、应用的方法以及文章的结果。然后基于SWOT分析对所审查的研究进行讨论,该分析涉及所审查研究的优势和劣势以及所识别的机会和威胁,这些可作为未来研究的基础。基于综述结果和SWOT分析,提出了对博士生幸福感的多维视角。结论:该研究提出了一种更以学生为中心的方法来满足博士生的需求,并提高博士生的幸福感,作为长期目标,以改善学者的幸福感和生产力。博士生的幸福感是一个重要问题,它贯穿学者整个职业生涯,塑造着他们的幸福感。鉴于幸福感已被发现与员工的生产力和效率密切相关,在博士学习期间与维持幸福感相关的策略可能对高等教育、其成果至关重要,同样重要的是,对博士生的平衡生活也至关重要。基于17项研究,本综述对有关博士生幸福感的文献进行了批判性评估。讨论了理论模型、幸福感概念、应用的方法以及文章的结果。然后基于SWOT分析对所审查的研究进行讨论,该分析涉及所审查研究的优势和劣势以及所识别的机会和威胁,这些可作为未来研究的基础。基于综述结果和SWOT分析,提出了对博士生幸福感的多维视角。该研究提出了一种更以学生为中心的方法来满足博士生的需求,并提高博士生的幸福感,作为长期目标,以改善学者的幸福感和生产力。
