Abstract

In the context of globalisation, fostering secondary vocational students with a craftsman spirit is crucial for industrial transformation and addressing contemporary needs. Based on social cognitive career theory, this study explores the mechanism through which professional ability influences craftsman spirit among secondary vocational students as well as the mediating role of career decision-making self-efficacy and the moderating role of goal realisation in this process. We tested our hypotheses using data gathered from 650 secondary vocational students; the results suggested that secondary vocational students' professional ability have a significant positive impact on the craftsman spirit. We also found that career decision-making self-efficacy partially mediates the effect of professional ability on craftsman spirit. Further, we found that self-concordant goal realisation positively moderates the relationship between professional ability and career decision-making self-efficacy. We offer theoretical guidance and practical implications for cultivating craftsman spirit among students in secondary vocational institutions.

在全球化背景下，培养具有工匠精神的中职生对于产业转型和应对时代需求至关重要。本研究以社会认知职业理论为基础，探讨了职业能力对中职生工匠精神的影响机制，以及职业决策自我效能感在这一过程中的中介作用和目标实现的调节作用。我们利用 650 名中职生的数据对假设进行了检验，结果表明，中职生的专业能力对工匠精神有显著的正向影响。我们还发现，职业决策自我效能感部分介导了专业能力对工匠精神的影响。此外，我们还发现，自我协调的目标实现对专业能力和职业决策自我效能感之间的关系具有正向调节作用。我们为培养中等职业院校学生的工匠精神提供了理论指导和实践启示。
