社會認知生涯理論由Brown 與Lent 提出,理論中強調社會文化與環境因素對工作滿意度的影響。本研究以社會認知生涯理論為基礎,透過13所439位公私立大學教授的問卷資料分析,除驗證社會認知生涯理論中的工作滿意度模型外,並藉此探討包括完美主義、自我效能、工作狂、因應策略與知覺組織支持等對工作滿意度的影響。結果發現:(一)完美主義與自我效能對工作滿意度無顯著直接效果,而工作狂、知覺組織支持及因應策略對工作滿意度具有顯著直接效果;(二)工作狂對知覺組織支持與工作滿意度、及自我效能與工作滿意度間具有部份中介效果;(三)因應策略對工作狂與工作滿意度具有部份中介效果。依據所得之研究發現與結論,提出對大學教授工作滿意度與未來研究方向之建議。
A significant number of empirical studies have been conducted utilizing the Lent and Brown (2006) social cognitive career theory (SCCT) model. However, relatively minimal effort has been exerted to examine its relation to the job satisfaction field regarding in terms of social-contextual variables. The present study aims to test the SCCT model concerning contextual factors relating to job satisfaction of a sample of college professors. Data were obtained from 439 questionnaires via the cross sectional method from 13 public and private universities by using simple random technique. This study first examined a measurement model, including perfectionism, self-efficacy, workaholism, coping, perceived organizational support (POS), and job satisfaction. I conducted structural model analyses to test the hypothesized relationships of the predictors on job satisfaction. The results of the structural model offered an effective model fit to the data, as well as multiple supports for the hypotheses along with SCCT model. However, not all hypotheses were consistent with expectations. This study determined that workaholism, POS, and coping explained a unique variance in job satisfaction, although perfectionism and self-efficacy did not produce a significant direct relation to job satisfaction. Regarding mediation effects, workaholism was determined to have partial mediation effects on POS- job satisfaction and self-efficacy-job satisfaction relations. Coping also had a partial mediated effect of workaholism to job satisfaction. By utilizing the SCCT model, this study offered new theoretical insight and a more complete presentation of practical management. Relevant policymakers and administrators should pay immediate attention to this issue to enhance intuitional support and provide proactive strategies for faculty job satisfaction in colleges and universities.
