The Relationship Between the Congruence of Boundary Management and the University Counselors’ Job Satisfaction: The Mediating Role of Job Engagement

Abstract

Abstract: From the perspective of person-organization fit, this study not only examined the direct effect of congruence in segmentation preference and organizational segmentation supply on the university counselors’ job satisfaction, but also tested the mediating role of job engagement on the relationship between them. A survey was conducted among 553 university counselors from different universities in China. The results showed that: the congruence of segmentation preference and organizational segmentation supply affected job engagement and satisfaction. Especially, the job engagement of “high preference-low supply” group was lower than the group of “low preference-low supply”. There was no significant difference between “high preference-high supply” and “low preference-low supply” on job satisfaction. Job engagement and satisfaction of the “high preference-low supply” group were lower than those of “low preference-high supply” group. In addition, job engagement partially mediated the association between the congruence of segmentation preference and organizational segmentation and job satisfaction.

Key words: boundary management, segmentation preference, organization segmentation supplies, job satisfaction, job engagement

摘要： 基于个人与组织匹配视角，探讨高校辅导员边界分割偏好与组织分割供给一致性与辅导员工作满意度的关系及工作投入的中介作用。采用多项式回归与响应面分析技术，对收集的553名高校辅导员数据进行检验。结果发现：辅导员边界分割偏好与组织分割供给匹配越趋于一致，工作投入与工作满意度越高，“高偏好–高供给”比“低偏好–低供给”的工作投入更低，但“高偏好–高供给”与“低偏好–低供给”之间在工作满意度上没有差异。“高偏好–低供给”比“低偏好–高供给”的工作投入与工作满意度更低，工作投入在边界分割偏好与组织分割供给一致性与工作满意度之间起部分中介作用。
