Abstract

Drawing from self-determination theory and person-organization fit theory, the present study contributes to the literature on organizational purpose by examining the relationship between perceived organizational purpose and work engagement and the mediating role of person-organizational purpose (P-OP) fit herein. Based on data from a cross-sectional quantitative study among 517 knowledge workers from five financial service organizations, we tested two possible psychological mechanisms underlying the direct and indirect relationships between perceived organizational purpose and work engagement. The results of our structural equation modelling confirmed the hypothesized indirect effect model in which perceived organizational purpose was positively associated with work engagement, both directly and indirectly via P-OP fit. These findings show that organizational purpose has the capacity to directly and indirectly foster work engagement. The study suggests avenues for future research in OB, strategic HRM, and marketing.

目的参与:个人-组织目的契合度在组织目的感知与工作投入关系中的中介作用

本研究借鉴自我决定理论和个人-组织契合理论，通过考察组织目标感知与工作投入之间的关系以及个人-组织目标契合的中介作用，对组织目标的研究文献有所贡献。基于对来自五家金融服务机构的517名知识型员工的横断面定量研究数据，我们测试了组织目标感知与工作投入之间直接和间接关系的两种可能的心理机制。我们的结构方程模型的结果证实了假设的间接效应模型，即感知组织目的与工作投入呈正相关，直接或间接地通过P-OP契合。这些发现表明，组织目标具有直接和间接促进工作投入的能力。该研究为OB、战略人力资源管理和市场营销的未来研究提供了途径。
