高學歷女性生涯角色協調歷程之敘事研究

本研究採用敘事研究方法，瞭解高學歷女性協調其專業發展與原生家庭及婚姻家庭關係的歷程，探究其中的生命主題和社會文化脈絡，並關注研究參與者的敘事歷程。本研究的研究對象為兩位高學歷的已婚在職女性。研究結果發現：1.研究參與者協調生涯角色的歷程是一個由分化至統整的過程，相關的生命主題貫穿且牽引整個過程。各生涯角色的重要性、可轉化性、及發展性是協調過程中主要的考量。2.生涯角色協調歷程中的生命主題是由一系列關於自我的概念轉化而成，在Emma的生涯角色協調歷程中顯現出「熱愛教育」和「愛人如己」兩個生命主題。在Fiona的生涯角色協調歷程中突顯出「由依賴到追求獨立的成長過程」的生命主題。3.兩位研究參與者生涯角色的協調故事中，所呈現出來的社會文化脈絡主要有四個。研究參與者對不同社會文化的理解與演繹取決於其涉入「生態系統」的層級與程度。4.研究參與者的敍事歷程是通過反覆敘說，解構生命故事，發現生命主題，並在生命主題的引導下重構生命故事，統整生涯角色。最後，提出本研究的限制及建議，以做為未來研究之參考。

This study adopted a narrative method to understand how highly educated females coordinated the relationship between their career development, original family, and marriage family. This study aimed at exploring related life themes and the social-cultural context which influenced their career roles' coordinating process. This study was also interested in participants' narrative process. The study included two highly educated and married working females as participants. Several findings were as follows: (1) The coordination of career roles was a process from differentiation towards integration, importance, convertibility and development of career role are three major consideration standards. (2)Two life themes were found in Emma's coordinating process including ＂passion for education＂ and ＂love your neighbor as yourself＂. One life theme was found in Fiona's coordinating process as ＂growth process from dependent to independent seeking＂. (3)Four social-cultural contexts were found in participants' narratives of career roles coordinating process. Participants' understanding of different social-cultural contexts is dependent on the level and extent they involved in their bio-ecological systems. (4) Participants' narrative process was through telling and retelling to deconstruct their life story. Under the guidance of life themes, they reconstructed their life story and integrated career roles. Finally, limitations and recommendations were discussed for further research.
