摘　　要：通过对中国44所高校的1399名博士候选人的问卷调查,分析了他们选择攻读博士学位的动机状况以及未来的职业愿望,并深入探究性别、婚姻状况、本科就读学校以及攻读博士学位方式与入学动机之间的关系。研究结果显示,尽管学生选择攻读博士学位的动机是多样化的,但都十分强调博士学位与未来职业间的紧密关系,试图通过博士学位在未来获得稳定、安全的职业机会。对接受博士教育的本质理解不清晰,缺乏明确的定位和目标,在学术研究上缺乏足够的热情与意愿,影响到学术研究的成果获得与质量状况。因此,大学应通过合理的使命陈述,明确博士生教育的本质和功能,使潜在的博士学位候选人具有更强烈的学术热情和成就意愿,从而提升博士生教育的质量和声望。Based on a survey of 1399 doctoral candidates at 44 universities in China, the paper analyzes the motives of their choice for doctor＇s degree and future career path and explores the relationship between gender, marital status, undergraduate school, ways of obtaining degree and motivation for Ph.D. studies. The result shows that motivations of students choice to pursue doctor＇s degree are diversified. Most of the doctoral candidates put emphasis on the close relationship between doctor＇s degree and their future career. They expect getting stable and secure career opportunities through doctoral education. However, they do not have a clear understanding of the nature of doctoral education and lack specific orientation or objective, which will negatively influence the outcome and quality of their academic research. It is imperative for universities to clarify the nature and functions of doctoral education via reasonable mission statement in order to invigorate the academic spirit of potential doctoral candidates and enhance their academic achievement.
