Study Achievement, LPDP Scholarship, Doctoral Studies, Academic Factors, Personal FactorsAbstract
This study aims to systematically examine the factors that may influence the study completion of doctoral students receiving the LPDP scholarship, with an
emphasis on the dominance of academic and personal factors and the position
of external factors as indirect support. The study employs a Systematic LiteratureReview (SLR) by searching the Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholardatabases for international and national publications released between 2021and 2026, resulting in 34 studies that met the inclusion criteria and wereanalyzed thematically. The findings indicate that academic factors, such as thequality of supervision, high-level cognitive learning, research climate, and
academic governance, and personal factors including intrinsic motivation, selfregulation, time management, resilience, and psychological well-being, have adirect and dominant influence on doctoral study completion. External factorsrelated to university governance and the administrative management of theLPDP scholarship function as indirect support by providing structural and
organizational contexts that enable academic and personal factors to operateeffectively. Doctoral study completion among LPDP scholarship recipientscannot be ensured solely through structural support and funding, but requiresthe strengthening of students’ academic and personal capacities. Therefore, themanagement of LPDP-funded doctoral studies should prioritize academic andpersonal factors, with external factors optimized as an enabling system tosupport study completion.
