In China,Hepatitis B virus(HBV)has been a challenging public health problem,about 100 minllion people are hepatitis B virus carriers.Due to the lack of HBV knowledge,the society has more discrimination against HBV carriers.Relevant qualitative research shows that Hepatitis B discrimination not only has a significant impact on HBV carriers' life but also affects career choice and development.The current researches on HBV carrier focuses on their mental health and life satisfacation,ignoring their career development.Subjective career success as a positive career development outcome has a positive effect on individual's well-being and health status.The sense of success of social vulnerable group increase their confidence and help them cope with difficulties in life.The psychology of working thory also suggeust that work volition is a important factor affecting social vulnerable groups work experience and career development,because the marginalized experience reduce their sense of control over their career choices and development,leading to negative work outcomes.Base on this,the present research mainly explores the mechanism of the influence od perceived discrimination of HBV carriers on subjective career success,and examines the mediating role of work volition.At the same time,if society provide support to HBV carriers,it can also promote their career development,thus introducing social support as a moderator variable helping them achieve positive career outcomes.In response to the above research questions,study is divided into two parts:In the first part,354 adult works were used to revise work volition scale.The results show that the three-factor work volition scale has a relatively good reliability and validity.The total reliability coefficient of the scale is 0.791,and the coefficient of each dimension is above 0.533.Exploratory factor analysis show that the interpretation rate of the three factors extracted by the scale reached 59.609%,and the model fit well.The correlation between the dimensions of work volition and the core self-evaluation is above 0.427,which meets the requirements of the validity of the criterion.In the second part,265 workers with hepatitis B virus were investigated,and the data was analyzed by SPSS22.0 and its macro program process,Amos21.0.Results show that:(1)Perceived discrimination has a significant negative direct effect on subjective career success,however,this negative direct effect becomes non-significant when we put the mediating variable,work nolition,into the regression equation,but it could affect subjective career success through the mediating role of work volition.Specifically,perceived discrimination lead to lower subjective career success by reducing work volition.(2)Social support plays a significant role in moderating the influence mechanism of perceived discrimination on subjective career success.Specifically,high social suppoer can increase the level of work volition with high perceived discrimination,thereby reducing the negative impact on subjective career success.When workers with HBV have high perceived discrimination,their subjective career success is low,because perceived discrimination reduced their sense of control over career choice and development,thus leading to low subjective career success.However,higher social support can weaken this relationship that perceived discrimination through work volition to subjective career success.Therefore,the present study has a great significance for HBV workers to help them achieve better employment and positive career development outcomes,and society should aware that social discrimination has a nagetive effect on them to play their value in work.The society shoule play a supporting role for vulnerable groups.
