الإنسحاب النفسي من العمل لدى حملة شهادة الدكتوراه الموظفين خارج قطاع التعليم العالي
This study aimed to shed light on the phenomenon of psychological withdrawal from work among a group of PhD holders who hold jobs outside of higher education. This study was conducted through a field study conducted on a sample from the province of M'Sila. The importance of this research stems from the significant increase in the number of PhD holders not integrated into university, which raises serious questions about the compatibility of this group with their current work environments and the repercussions of this on their psychological and professional well-being. The study relied on a scientific scale that includes five basic dimensions that are key indicators of psychological withdrawal from work: daydreaming, pretending to be busy, holding two jobs, preoccupation with side conversations, and cyberloafing. This scale was applied to a sample of 60 employees from non-academic institutions. Data was collected and analyzed using precise statistical tools, including measures of central tendency (such as the arithmetic mean) and measures of dispersion (such as the standard deviation). The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program was also used to obtain more accurate results. The study results showed that the sample's levels of psychological withdrawal were high across all five dimensions of the scale, indicating a high degree of job dissatisfaction and frustration due to the mismatch between their academic qualifications and the nature of their current jobs. These withdrawal behaviors are interpreted as defense mechanisms individuals’ resort to adapt to a non-stimulating work environment. The study recommended the need to review recruitment and career guidance policies for PhD holders to ensure optimal utilization of their knowledge and competencies and achieve harmony between the academic path and the labor market.
