Results indicate that female associate professors had lower levels of intrinsic rewards domain after controlling for institutional type. Parental responsibility and partnership status were equivocal, with significant interaction effects after controlling for Carnegie Classification.     

区域劳动者技能错配水平及影响效应研究

在产业结构优化升级和技术革新的挑战下,劳动者的技能和工作是否匹配具有重要的经济意义.通过2,476份北京市信息技术和养老护理等行业员工的调查问卷分析发现,超过三成的北京市劳动者技能不能满足当下工作所需;有12％的劳动者存在技能的落伍问题.利用序次和多分类逻辑斯特模型回归发现,相比于技能匹配的个体,技能不足对劳动者的工资收入、工作满意度和职业流动(跳槽)均产生了显著的负向影响;过度技能对劳动者的工作满意度和职业流动(跳槽)呈现明显的负向影响,且该影响效应高于技能不足的影响.对此,从关注劳动者技能"折旧"问题、倡导树立终身学习的观念等方面提出建议.     

Counselor educator workload and burnout in the era of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic brought disruption to teaching and other aspects of workload in higher education. The current study sampled 126 counselor educators about workload, compassion satisfaction, burnout, and job satisfaction.

Does the Great Firewall Really Isolate the Chinese? Integrating Access Blockage With Cultural Factors to Explain Web User Behavior

The dominant understanding of Internet censorship posits that blocking access to foreign-based websites creates isolated communities of Internet users. We question this discourse for its assumption that if given access people would use all websites. We develop a conceptual framework that integrates access blockage with social structures to explain Web users’ choices, and argue that users visit websites they find culturally proximate and that access blockage matters only when such sites are blocked. We examine the case of China, where online blockage is notoriously comprehensive, and compare Chinese Web usage patterns with those elsewhere. Analyzing audience traffic among the 1000 most visited websites, we find that websites cluster according to language and geography. Chinese websites constitute one cluster, which resembles other such geolinguistic clusters in terms of both its composition and its degree of isolation. Our sociological investigation reveals a greater role of cultural proximity than access blockage in explaining online behaviors.     

挑战性-阻碍性压力对工作满意度、情绪衰竭的差异性影响——上下属关系的调节作用

采用问卷调查法,以254名企业员工为对象,探讨了挑战性-阻碍性压力对员工情绪衰竭与工作满意度的差异性影响,以及上下属关系的调节作用。结果表明:挑战性压力与阻碍性压力对员工工作满意度分别具有显著的正向与负向影响;阻碍性压力对员工情绪衰竭具有显著正向影响,而挑战性压力的正向影响作用则不显著;上下属关系对挑战性压力与工作满意度、阻碍性压力与情绪衰竭之间关系均具有显著的调节作用,具体表现为强化了挑战性压力的积极作用,缓解了阻碍性压力的消极作用。     

变革型领导与工作满意度的中介机制研究

较多研究验证了变革型领导对工作满意度的影响,但二者之间的中介作用机制研究还较为缺乏。通过对一家企业223位基层经理的调查,应用因子分析、回归分析和结构方程模型分析方法对数据进行了检验,结果显示：变革型领导与工作满意度显著正相关,情绪智力在变革型领导与工作满意度的关系中起中介作用。建议企业高层应该努力培养基层管理者的变革型领导风格,并且对其情绪管理要给予更多的关注,进而提高他们的工作满意度。     

大学生基层就业政策的工具视角分析

近十年来,国家出台了一系列鼓励大学毕业生面向基层就业的政策,这些政策体现了一种工具理性,是实现缓解大学生就业形势、为基层建设吸纳人才目标的有效工具。然而,工具理性并不能达到绝对的理性,政府的有限理性决定了大学生基层就业政策仍需进行不断的完善。     

Organisational communication and its relationships with job satisfaction and organisational commitment of primary school staff in Western Australia

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between aspects of organisational communication and dimensions of job satisfaction and general organisational commitment. Participants were 358 staff members from 35 government primary schools in the state of Western Australia, who completed a survey comprising the Organisational Communication in Primary Schools Questionnaire, the Teacher Job Satisfaction Questionnaire and a five item general organisational commitment scale. Factor analyses established 13 aspects of job satisfaction and 9 dimensions of job satisfaction. Multiple regression analyses were used to investigate interrelationships. The findings suggest several aspects of organisational communication were related to job satisfaction and organisational commitment. This article concludes with implications for future research with regard to communication and for the maintenance of optimal levels of job satisfaction and commitment in schools.     

Labour market intermediaries: a corrective to the human capital paradigm (mis)matching skills and jobs?

The orthodox supply-side human capital theory (HCT) paradigm is inadequate for understanding and adjusting to labour market volatility in UK regional economies like Wales. This article explores the role of regional labour market intermediaries (LMIs) in matching supply (skills) and demand (job opportunities) in regional labour markets. Some LMIs emerge because the HCT paradigm is failing. One Welsh LMI, Shaping the Future (StF), is explored empirically using qualitative methods. StF mainly adopted HCT tenets, but with some emergent demand-side focus. Despite helping workers adjust to labour market shocks, LMIs are not equipped to fix the structural demand-side problem of finite quality job opportunities in deindustrialized regions that accentuate skill use. A broader ‘skill eco-system’ paradigm is required, emphasising the foundational economy.     

Identifying and addressing themes of job dissatisfaction for secondary principals

Secondary principals serve in important roles that are complex, high-stress, and include demanding job responsibilities. Key stakeholders such as superintendents, school board members, and legislators must understand the challenges facing secondary principals in order to address the current themes of job dissatisfaction. Using new survey data compiled from 176 secondary principals across a state in the Midwest United States, this study shows four themes of job dissatisfaction are plaguing secondary principals: high job demands with unreasonable expectations, managing difficult stakeholders, problematic work/life balance, and lack of support. This study concludes with practical suggestions to address each theme of job dissatisfaction.
