This workshop focuses on helping PhD scholars and early career researchers in business management understand and strengthen their academic identity. As emerging scholars navigate research choices, supervisory relationships, teaching responsibilities, and institutional expectations, their sense of scholarly identity becomes crucial for long-term career development. The session introduces key dimensions of academic identity—research, teaching, service, and professional presence—and guides participants in reflecting on their values, interests, and disciplinary positioning. Through interactive activities such as identity mapping, short writing exercises, and mentoring circles, participants learn how to articulate their scholarly voice, communicate their research identity, and manage identity tensions arising from publication pressures, interdisciplinary work, or evolving research interests. The workshop also emphasizes building a strategic digital presence and fostering supportive academic networks. By the end of the session, participants will have greater clarity and confidence in presenting themselves as developing scholars within the business management field.

This workshop explores how PhD scholars and early career researchers can build effective, healthy, and productive relationships with their academic supervisors and vice versa. The scholar–supervisor relationship significantly shapes research progress, academic identity, well-being, and long-term career trajectories.

Strategies for navigating power dynamics, fostering open dialogue, and cultivating professional trust are emphasized. The workshop also highlights how scholars can transition from dependency to autonomy while maintaining a constructive mentor–mentee relationship. By the end, participants gain practical tools to manage supervision proactively and develop resilient, collaborative academic partnerships.

We invite PhD scholars and Early-Career Researchers to participate in a hands-on workshop on AI for Research Integrity, a timely exploration of how artificial intelligence is reshaping ethical and responsible research practices. As academic work becomes more complex and data-driven, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and credibility is more important than ever. This workshop will demonstrate how AI tools can support you at every stage of the research journey—from designing stronger studies and detecting methodological gaps to improving data quality, spotting anomalies, and maintaining clear audit trails. You will also learn how AI enhances manuscript integrity through advanced plagiarism checks, citation verification, stylistic analysis, and image forensics that identify manipulation with far greater precision than traditional methods. Beyond publication, we will discuss how journals increasingly use AI to screen submissions and support reviewers, and how you can align your work with these evolving standards. Equally important, the session will address responsible and ethical AI use, ensuring transparency and preventing overreliance. Whether you are preparing a thesis, conducting empirical research, or navigating early publications, this workshop will equip you with practical skills and future-ready tools to strengthen your scholarly practice and uphold the highest standards of research integrity.
