“…As Muschallik and Pull [22] claim, the expansion of networks is a process of enriching one's social capital, which could enhance academic collaboration and further research performance. This finding supports Richie-Zavaleta and Warmsley's [66] observation that mentoring relationship may help to facilitate the establishment of networks within academia. The concern Zou raises points to a potential negative aspect of mentoring, that if junior returned researchers join a team and are "protected" by distinguished professors, they may run the risk of losing the freedom to focus on personal research interests.…”

Early career academics are the key agents for the sustainable development of higher education institutions. In China, those who were educated overseas and have returned to Chinese universities to seek academic positions are becoming a fast-growing group. Good research performance is critical to survive in the increasingly competitive environment in academia. Improving research performance requires an understanding of the factors that facilitate or inhibit research performance. In the light of Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, this study, using a mixed-method design (20 interviewees and 136 respondents), elaborates on a number of external factors affecting returned early career academics’ research performance. Understanding these factors is helpful for the building of a favorable environment that can improve the research performance of the returned early career academics, and hence the sustainable development of universities.
