This study focuses on the relationships of career calling to job satisfaction in army officers. The direct and indirect (via meaning in life and meaning in work) effects of career calling on job satisfaction were investigated in 355 male army officers in China. For this purpose, structural equation modeling and bootstrap method were used. Results of confirmatory factor analysis verified the latent structures of meaning in work and job satisfaction. Structural equation modeling and χ test indicated meaning in work and presence meaning in life partially mediated the association between career calling and job satisfaction. The bootstrap method also revealed a significant indirect path from career calling to job satisfaction through them. These findings extend previous studies and shed light on promoting job satisfaction from a positive and meaningful perspective through the effect of adaptive career calling.
本研究关注的是军队军官的职业使命感与工作满意度之间的关系。在中国,355 名男性军官中,通过生活意义和工作意义(中介变量),调查了职业使命感对工作满意度的直接和间接(中介变量)影响。为此,使用了结构方程建模和自举法。工作意义和工作满意度的潜在结构验证了验证性因素分析的结果。结构方程建模和 χ 检验表明,工作意义和生活意义在一定程度上中介了职业使命感与工作满意度之间的关系。自举法也揭示了职业使命感通过它们对工作满意度的显著间接路径。这些发现扩展了以往的研究,从积极和有意义的角度出发,通过适应性职业使命感的影响,为提高工作满意度提供了新的视角。
