Abstract

This study examines the structural barriers to professional adaptation among domestic visiting scholars in Guangdong, China, utilizing Bourdieu’s field theory. A mixed-methods design was employed, combining survey data from 143 participants with insights from interviews. Quantitative results revealed that institutional support significantly predicted difficulties in habitus transformation, while various forms of capital had limited effects. Qualitative findings enriched the analysis by uncovering contextual challenges related to institutional culture and expectations. The study emphasizes the importance of personalized support mechanisms and recommends policy reforms to improve the effectiveness of visiting scholar programs.
