“…Graduate students who also are parents report higher levels of stress related to work–family balance, as well as a general lack of support from university systems (Dolson & Deemer, 2020; Springer et al, 2009; Theisen et al, 2018). Additionally, particularly affected by the imbalances of COVID‐19 are parents, who report higher numbers of stressors overall (Brown et al, 2020).…”

Objective The purpose of this study was to understand the experiences of historically underrepresented graduate students, more than half of whom were enrolled in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, during the COVID‐19 pandemic. This focus group study represents an initial stage in developing an intervention for historically underrepresented graduate students and their families. Background Underrepresentation of graduate students of color in STEM has been attributed to a myriad of factors, including a lack of support systems. Familial support is an endorsed reason for persisting in graduate school. It is unclear what historically underrepresented graduate students' experiences are during uncertain times, such as a pandemic. Method Focus groups were conducted online using a videoconferencing platform during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Five focus groups included: historically underrepresented doctoral students (n = 5), historically underrepresented master's students (n = 6), academic faculty (n = 7), administrator, administrative faculty, and academic faculty (n = 6), and families of historically underrepresented doctoral students (n = 6). Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results Historically underrepresented graduate students experienced difficulties in accessing resources, adjustments to home and family life, amplification of existing nonfinancial issues, and expressed both fears of and hopes for the future. Conclusion The COVID‐19 pandemic exacerbated existing inequalities in access to resources as well as nonfinancial family support. Implications This study may help normalize historically underrepresented graduate students' experiences during the COVID‐19 pandemic. The findings include ideas for informing families about graduate school that can enlighten family support efforts for historically underrepresented graduate students and their families.

“…At this age, the relationship with parents is at a low standard in lifetime ( Kremer, 2016 ). There is a significant work–family conflict (WFC) between graduate students and their parents ( Dolson and Deemer, 2022 ), which can be simply summarized as the income level of graduate students is incomparable with work, parents need to continue to provide help for their children’s lives, and the material and mental pressure that children bear in this relationship as graduates are seriously facing.…”

PurposeThe possibility of mental illness caused by the academic emotions and academic pressure of graduate students has received widespread attention. Discovering hidden academic emotions by mining graduate students’ speeches in social networks has strong practical significance for the mental state discovery of graduate students.Design/methodology/approachThrough data collected from online academic forum, a text based BiGRU-Attention model was conducted to achieve academic emotion recognition and classification, and a keyword statistics and topic analysis was performed for topic discussion among graduate posts.FindingsFemale graduate students post more than male students, and graduates majoring in chemistry post the most. Using the BiGRU-Attention model to identify and classify academic emotions has a performance with precision, recall and F1 score of more than 95%, the category of PA (Positive Activating) has the best classification performance. Through the analysis of post topics and keywords, the academic emotions of graduates mainly come from academic pressure, interpersonal relationships and career related.OriginalityA BiGRU-Attention model based on deep learning method is proposed to combine classical academic emotion classification and categories to achieve a text academic emotion recognition method based on user generated content.

“…Researches, that mainly target gender differences, prove that the extent of conflict amongst women is way above men (Haines, Bilodeau, Demers, Marchand, Beauregard, Durand, & Blanc, 2019;Kaufman, & Taniguchi, 2019). Furthermore, various family specialties like the number of kids and their ages, the dearth of support amongst couples in way of life and the dearth of distributing the responsibilities of kid care are stated to be some of the other reasons for work-family conflict (Dolson & Deemer, 2020;Badawy & Schieman, 2020).…”

Background: Employee commitment primarily focuses on strong bonds between the organization and its employees. It has massive positive effects on organizations. Investigating the combined influence of the assorted psychological factors like work-family conflict, job stress and self-concept on perceived job commitment among employees of Local Government authority is helpful. Objective: The study investigates the antecedents of perceived job commitment among employees of Local Government in Ilesha Metropolis. Methods: Antecedents of perceived job commitment in this study are work-family conflict, job stress, and self-concept. The study has adopted survey method within a descriptive research design. The objective of the study was to determine the influence of work-family conflict, job stress and self-concept on perceived job commitment. Primary data were used. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that had five scales in likert scale including personal data. 238 respondents, randomly selected across the three local government areas in Ilesha Metropolis, were used for the study. Only 189 questionnaires were returned, out of which 124 were found to be useful for the study. Results: Three hypotheses were tested and they revealed that self-concept, work-family conflict and job stress jointly have a positive and significant impact on perceived job performance. Furthermore, work-family conflict (β = 0.173; t = 9.119; p<.05), job stress (β = 1.170; t = 7.458; p<.05), and self-concept (β = 0.064; t = 2.444; p<.05) independently predicted perceived job commitment to be at 5% level. Conclusions: The study has found that factors, like work-family conflict, job stress and self-concept, significantly predict the perceived job commitment among employees of local government in Ilesha Metropolis. The finding of the study implies that the antecedents of employee's job commitment are important variables. Governments, employers of labour, human resource practitioners and psychologists need to give more attention to these variables, especially among local government employees and related workforce, for the increase in employee commitment. The study recommends that governments should adopt welfare approaches in tackling issues around work-family conflict, job stress and self-concept to improve employee job commitment. Originality: This article is original and there is no potential conflict of interest.
