Trust me! Building and breaking professional trust in doctoral student supervisor relationships
Outputs:
This report presents findings from a research study looking at perceptions of trust in doctoral supervision relationships. It views academic supervisors in the context of their role as leaders and enablers of trust within their research environments and higher education institutions. It aims to take a broad exploratory view of the specific behaviours that are important in trust building in supervisory relationships.
Recommendations make suggestions on how supervisors could be supported to establish and sustain trusting supervision relationships. The primary aim of this paper is to assist higher education institutions to enhance supervisory practice, specifically through focusing on relationship tensions may arise.
