Abstract

We tested a moderated mediation model that examines the mediating role of personal accomplishment and the moderating role of work interest in the relationship between organisational support and job satisfaction among post-doctoral students/fellows. Our sample comprised 6 575 post-doctoral students/fellows from the 2020 Nature Survey. The result revealed that organisational support directly and positively related to job satisfaction, and indirectly related to job satisfaction via personal accomplishment. Work interest moderated the relationship between organisational support and personal accomplishment, and also moderated the mediating role of personal accomplishment in the relationship between organisational support and job satisfaction, associated with higher job satisfaction. The job demands-resources model may explain these findings in that job resources will generally produce positive psychological feelings, and ultimately raise job satisfaction. These findings deepen our understanding of the mechanisms for job satisfaction of early research career state employees considering organisation support and their personal factors.

组织支持如何提高工作满意度？基于全球调查证据的适度调解分析

我们测试了一个调节中介模型，该模型考察了个人成就和工作兴趣在组织支持和博士后/研究员工作满意度之间关系中的中介作用。我们的样本包括来自2020年自然调查的6575名博士后学生/研究员。结果表明，组织支持与工作满意度直接正相关，通过个人成就与工作满意度间接相关。工作兴趣调节了组织支持和个人成就之间的关系，也调节了个人成就在组织支持和工作满意度之间的中介作用，与更高的工作满意度相关。工作需求-资源模型可以解释这些发现，因为工作资源通常会产生积极的心理感受，并最终提高工作满意度。这些发现加深了我们对考虑组织支持及其个人因素的早期研究职业国家雇员工作满意度机制的理解。
