Early Career Academic (ECA) identity, well-being, and engagement

This Early Career Academic (ECA) project aims to understand the impact that workgroup culture has on the experiences of early career academics and researchers — focusing in particular on staff well-being and the factors that contribute to intentions to stay in the sector. The project team are researchers from The University of Queensland and The University of Exeter who have been supported by the Researcher Development Team at The University of Queensland. Through a mixed-method research design we draw on the social identity approach and its methodologies to determine the key identities that shape ECA experiences and their well-being.
