Abstract

Prior studies have highlighted ethical challenges in researching in developing countries but have not explored the ethical issues for supervisors when their doctoral students undertake qualitative fieldwork in such contexts. Doctoral research in developing countries has the potential to provide valuable knowledge; yet, where data cannot be collected, important potential knowledge is lost. Moreover, where doctoral research does not follow ethical practice there is potential for damaged relations between organizations and universities, which can impact student, supervisor, and university reputation. Thus, doctoral students’ supervisors have an essential role in providing training to ensure ethical and culturally appropriate research. We reflect on our experiences as supervisors of business doctoral students who collected original data in developing countries and underpin these reflections with our own extensive (international) management research in developing countries to discuss ethical challenges for supervisors. We offer insights and action guidelines for current and prospective students, supervisors, and universities.
博士生在现场的不眠之夜:导师对伦理挑战的反思
先前的研究强调了在发展中国家进行研究的伦理挑战,但没有探讨博士生在这种背景下进行定性实地考察时导师的伦理问题。发展中国家的博士研究有可能提供有价值的知识;然而,如果不能收集数据,重要的潜在知识就会丢失。此外,如果博士研究不遵循道德规范,组织和大学之间的关系可能会受到损害,这可能会影响学生、导师和大学的声誉。因此,博士生导师在提供培训方面发挥着至关重要的作用,以确保合乎道德和符合文化的研究。我们反思了我们作为在发展中国家收集原始数据的商科博士生导师的经验,并以我们自己在发展中国家进行的广泛(国际)管理研究来支持这些反思,讨论导师面临的道德挑战。我们为当前和未来的学生、导师和大学提供见解和行动指南。

The journal seeks to maintain a constructive balance between innovation and quality, and at the same time widely define the forms that relevant contributions to the field can take.
