Abstract : Completing research work at the PhD level is a significant milestone in academic and professional growth, contributing to the advancement of knowledge and societal development. This Appreciative Inquiry systematically examined the factors that influenced delays in research work at the PhD level in higher education institutions. Ten research articles published between 2020 and 2023 were analyzed to synthesize the findings. The study identified key factors that contributed to delays, including inadequate research guidance experiences, challenges in postgraduate research supervision, and barriers at the institutional level. Additionally, the impact of research topic selection and distance learning on research progress was explored. The analysis highlighted the significance of effective research guidance, supportive supervision practices, and adequate resources in minimizing delays. Furthermore, implications for institutional policies and recommendations for fostering a conducive research environment were discussed. Overall, this Appreciative Inquiry offered valuable insights for policymakers, educational institutions, and researchers to address delays in research work at the PhD level. Our findings suggested the need to foster a conducive research environment, provide adequate resources, and promote effective communication between students and supervisors. By implementing evidence-based interventions, we could enhance the research experiences of doctoral candidates, promote timely completion of research work, and advance the quality of research in higher education.
