Abstract

ABSTRACT The changes produced in higher education as a consequence of neoliberal influences have had a considerable impact on the university world. As a consequence, there has been a growing research interest in how such changes have affected academics. However, recent review studies related to this issue are scarce in the literature. Therefore, this systematic review aims to provide a general overview of the way in which these new changes in higher education have had an impact on teachers. To this end, a bibliographic search was conducted on the Web of Science, SCOPUS, and Education Resources Information Centre, which yielded a total of 38 articles published in international journals. Thematic analysis was applied using the NVivo 12 software package, from which three emerging themes were identified: action strategies in view of new neoliberal demands; construction of the professional identities; and work, health and social consequences. Further, this review highlighted the need for more research on the influence of the closest social context (research team/department) on academic staff; as well as the development of systematic reviews of the literature that go deeper into the processes of construction and development of new professional identities.

新自由主义及其对学术界的影响:定性回顾

摘要新自由主义影响下的高等教育变革对大学世界产生了重大影响。因此，人们对这些变化如何影响学术界的研究兴趣越来越大。然而，最近有关这一问题的综述研究在文献中很少。因此，本系统综述旨在对高等教育中的这些新变化对教师的影响进行总体概述。为此，在科学网、SCOPUS和教育资源信息中心进行了书目搜索，共有38篇文章发表在国际期刊上。使用NVivo 12软件包进行了专题分析，从中确定了三个新出现的主题：针对新的新自由主义需求的行动战略；职业身份的建构；以及工作、健康和社会后果。此外，这篇综述强调，需要更多地研究最接近的社会背景（研究团队/部门）对学术人员的影响；以及对文献发展的系统回顾，深入到新职业身份的构建和发展过程中。

期刊介绍： Throughout the world, there is a growing awareness of the significance of vocational and post-compulsory education and training systems. The majority of countries are working hard to develop their provision, recognising the importance of post-compulsory education in providing educated and skilled people in sufficient numbers at appropriate levels to assist economic and social development. Research in Post-Compulsory Education, sponsored by the United Kingdom"s Further Education Research Association (FERA), recognises the need for more international research and analysis and the generation of relevant theory in order to identify policy needs and trends as well as priorities in this growing area.
