Eight married woman who are working as sales person in Information and Technology (IT) company and five significant others were participated in this study.

已婚女员工在工作中需要咨询吗?动机的定性研究:以信息技术公司女销售人员为例

Amy Mardhatillah Dwi Permata Sari amardatillah@yahoo.com / dwi.permatasari39@gmail.com Mercubuana University本研究基于Maslow, Hezberg双因素理论和ERG理论对已婚女性员工的动机进行了调查。本研究以8位在资讯科技(IT)公司从事销售的已婚女性和5位重要的他人为研究对象。结果表明，女性外出打工主要是出于生理和社会动机。八位女性中有五位受到外在因素的强烈激励。该研究还发现，职业女性面临的大多数问题是由于压力冲突和婚姻满意度。在应对策略方面，大多数女性在处理问题时采用的是问题聚焦策略，而不是情感聚焦策略。本研究未发现不同人口群体在工作动机方面存在显著差异。然而，有内在动机的三名女性被她们的另一半认为更有动力，更专业，此外，这些女性也报告说她们的工作问题更少。此外，员工年龄越大、任职时间越长，内在因素对员工的激励作用越大。本研究的启示可用于设计女性员工辅导分享会等员工援助计划，以帮助女性员工处理工作与生活的平衡问题，并透过增加内在动机来保持工作积极性。关键词:女性，激励，IT公司，工作与生活平衡，工作咨询45版权所有©2019，作者。亚特兰蒂斯出版社出版。这是一篇基于CC BY-NC许可(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/)的开放获取文章。2018年心理与传播国际会议(ICPC 2018)《社会科学、教育与人文研究进展》(ASSEHR)卷219
