“…In the context of this study, work refers to both study and paid employment. Of note, the PCA in both survey development phases rated WLB highly, and this is consistent with the views of Brus (2006) and Stimpson and Filer (2011) who found that successful work-life balance leads to higher levels of degree completion. WLB is the degree to which an individual is engaged with, and satisfied by, all aspects of their life (Greenhaus et al, 2003).…”

Postsecondary students' well-being is closely linked to success, which has predominantly been viewed from institutional perspectives rather than student experience. Addressing this gap, students and educators at a New Zealand postsecondary institution identified elements of overall success. Two existing measures were integrated with the student/educator feedback to form a 27-item questionnaire that was piloted twice via social media using snowball recruitment (n=225, n=237). There was strong internal consistency, and factor analysis identified five main factors of influence. The survey is found to be a comprehensive measure of perceptions of success and could be useful in identifying learners' levels of success-promoting attitudes and strategies, which may be of particular relevance during the COVID-19 pandemic Keywords: Motivation; perceptions of success; self-efficacy; student wellbeing; work-life balance Le bien-être des étudiants de l'enseignement postsecondaire est étroitement lié à la réussite, qui a été principalement considérée du point de vue des établissements plutôt que de l'expérience des étudiants. Pour combler cette lacune, des étudiants et des éducateurs d'un établissement postsecondaire de Nouvelle-Zélande ont identifié les éléments de la réussite globale. Deux mesures existantes ont été intégrées aux commentaires des étudiants et des éducateurs pour former un questionnaire de 27 éléments qui a été testé deux fois via les médias sociaux en utilisant le recrutement en boule de neige (n=225, n=237). La cohérence interne était forte et l'analyse factorielle a permis d'identifier cinq facteurs d'influence principaux. L'enquête s'est avérée être une mesure complète des perceptions de la réussite et pourrait être utile pour identifier les niveaux d'attitudes et de stratégies de promotion de la réussite chez les apprenants, ce qui pourrait être particulièrement pertinent pendant la pandémie de COVID-19. Mots clés : motivation ; perceptions de la réussite ; auto-efficacité ; bienêtre des étudiants ; équilibre entre vie professionnelle et vie privée.

This paper assessed the experiences of doctoral students in a private university about their doctoral studies. Using the case study design, 20 key informants were purposively selected, and in-depth interviewed to obtain their views on the phenomenon under investigation, with the support of ATLAS. Ti version 8.0 software, the data were thematically analyzed to answer the research questions, highlighting students’ experience on course work, research work, student support, and the relevance of the doctoral degree to the students’ current profession. The findings also showed that students have exposure to the basic guidelines of sound academic research. Still, their previous knowledge in research at the point of entry into the program is weak, making applying the knowledge gained in their thesis writing impractical. The data suggested that the students had varied reasons for pursuing the program. While those in academia needed the qualification to flourish their careers, the students from other sectors wanted to secure post-retirement opportunities.
