Capstone assignment title:
The Roles of quality supervision in the attainment of doctorateness
Capstone assignment abstract:

Abstract This work considers the fact that across the world, and especially in Africa, that the number of candidates enrolling for PhDs has increased, and there should also be a boost in the number of quality supervisors to match this increment in other for doctoral candidates to achieve doctorateness. The study employs the use of Hersey and Blanchard’s situational leadership framework to organise the roles and responsibilities of supervisors based on the maturity of the follower, (the doctoral candidates). Thirty experienced doctoral supervisors at Universities of Nigeria Nsukka were interviewed to elicit their responses on the roles and responsibilities of supervisors and postgraduate candidates, and what they understood by doctorateness. Based on the results and the reviewed scholarships, the work recommended that the supervisory styles of telling, selling, participation, and delegation must be followed sequentially. The work concludes that ‘the how is very important, it is the how that determines the what' because quality supervision is an antidote to the achievement of doctorateness.
