“…According to Edwards and Ashkanasy (2018), it is possible to indicate that facts such as academics" research processes take a long time, they have difficulty in balancing work and life, and as a result of this process, they receive rejection responses for publication institutions, poor evaluation of teaching processes, poor feedback and generally insufficient job security are the initiators and enhancers of negative emotions of academicians. Besides, the negative emotions of faculty members can also be explained by the fact that universities generally provide competitive environments (Fischer et al, 2012), by the individual competitive personality traits required for success (Araújo et al, 2017) and by the fact that research topics generally contain stress load.…”

The aim of this study is to explore the role of emotional orientations in academics" professional life. This qualitative study was designed in accordance with the phenomenological design. In the study, the researchers used criterion-based sampling and involved 26 volunteer academics with different titles and higher institutions. The data in this study were collected through face to face in-depth interviews with semi-structured interview questions. The collected data were analyzed through content analysis in three cycles. The results of the study showed that the unique professional characteristics of academics were determinative in emotional orientations that were positive outputs such as trust, helpfulness, and tendency to work collectively. As triggering factors of emotional orientations, it was found that working alone or job-centering efforts play important roles in academics" practices. Another result of the research indicated that academics also produce unique emotional experiences in the context of higher education. In other words, this study reveals that emotional orientations have an effect on both positive and negatives roles in shaping academic" life.

But the fruits of it is sweeter, such as winning, passing and top notching licensure examinations, receiving awards/recognitions, being promoted, and owning a business. But being outstanding must be shared by doing volunteer works to the community, helping the poor, and inspiring others.

Further, invitations of successful alumnae will be a great motivation to the students. And further conduct of the study may be done to have a comprehensive description of an outstanding graduate of a different or wide locale.

“…Consequently, an increasing amount of social science research has focused on the constructs representing the transformation of an individual’s qualities and effort into high-level outcomes (e.g. Araújo et al., 2017; Young & Reinkensmeyer, 2014). These constructs are referred to with various terms, such as accomplishment, achievement, attainment, eminence, excellence, mastery, performance, proficiency, or success.…”

The present study focused on the terms performance, achievement, and success that have often been used in an ambiguous manner in psychological research. The way in which the meaning of the domain-specific constructs referred to with the terms was established for measurement purposes was investigated on a sample of 262 articles that stemmed from 35 randomly selected journals covering the full range of psychological research. The operational definitions of the constructs referred to with the terms performance, achievement, and success were analysed and compared in both inter- and intra-domain fashion. Additionally, we assessed the match among the observed operational definitions and general conceptual definitions available in the extant literature. The results revealed terminology-related issues in educational and occupational research. Within these domains, lack of adherence to the multidimensionality of the constructs of academic performance, academic achievement, academic success, job performance, and career success was identified as a general issue. Further, the tendency to measure job performance via indicators based on self-rating was considered inadequate given the objective nature of the term performance. In educational research, the overlap of the academic performance, academic achievement, and academic success constructs was confirmed, resulting from the tendency to use GPA as a universal indicator of academic outcomes. Based on the present findings, we provided several recommendations in order to encourage future research towards a more transparent way of dealing with the particular constructs referred to with the terms performance, achievement, and success. We suppose the present study may help researchers in the full range of psychological disciplines to add clarity to their own research.
