Research On The Influence Of Psychological Contract On The Turnover Intention Of College Staff Under The Background Of University Merger

Under the background of “double first-class” creation,some local governments have adopted the method of merging and reorganizing colleges and universities to optimize the layout and resource allocation of higher education,and further improve the quality and level of school running.Due to the differences in various aspects between colleges and universities,there may be many contradictions after the merger.Faculty and staff may violate psychological contracts,reduce job satisfaction,and then generate turnover intentions,take the initiative to leave.The separation of faculty and staff has an important impact on the cohesion,stability and synergy of the merged universities.Effectively identifying and controlling the main factors that affect the turnover tendency of faculty and staff is the key to promoting the integration and development of merged universities.At present,there is not much research on the issue of faculty and staff separation in merged universities at home and abroad,mainly focusing on cultural conflicts and remodeling,organizational strategic development,financial integration,and multi-campus schooling.This thesis is based on the background of university mergers,selecting X College as a case,and using empirical research methods to explore the relationship between psychological contract,job satisfaction,and turnover intention,in order to understand which factors mainly affect the turnover tendency of faculty and staff,and provide targeted recommendations for university administrators.The thesis mainly studies the following factors influencing the faculty turnover tendency under the background of university merger:Firstly,based on the retrieval of domestic and foreign literatures,according to the classical departure theory model and psychological contract theory,this paper constructs the model.Through literature search,interview research and expert guidance,it works out a questionnaire of“influencing factors of turnover intention of college faculty and staff”with 38 items,4 parts,including personal information scale,psychological contract scale,job satisfaction scale and turnover intention scale,and then carries out interview questionnaire survey taking the faculty and staff of X college as the research object and receives a total of216 pieces of valid questionnaires.Secondly,using SPSS statistical software to carry out the difference analysis,correlation analysis,regression analysis and mediation effect test,the conclusions of this paper are drawn:(1)As a whole,the fulfillment degree of psychological contract,job satisfaction and turnover tendency of college faculty and staff are not high,but the deviation between different faculty and staff is relatively large;(2)Gender,age,education and working years in the school will have a certain impact on the faculty’s psychological contract,job satisfaction and turnover intention;(3)The fulfillment degree of psychological contract and job satisfaction are significantly different before and after the merger.The merger may lead to the violation of the psychological contract of the faculty and the decrease of job satisfaction.(4)Psychological contract and its dimensions are significantly negatively correlated with the turnover intention,and interpersonal dimension has a predictive effect of the turnover intention.Psychological contract and its dimensions are significantly positively related to job satisfaction,and the predictive ability of the development dimension is the strongest.Job satisfaction and its dimensions are significantly negatively correlated with turnover intentions.The predictive power of work itself and environmental dimensions is higher than that of interpersonal relationships.(5)Job satisfaction has a partial mediating effect between psychological contract and turnover intention.Thirdly,based on the empirical research conclusions of this paper,combined with the results of interviews,it puts forward countermeasures and suggestions to reduce the turnover tendency of faculty and staff for the reference of college administrators,namely,adhere to the people-oriented concept and create a good working atmosphere;respect individual differences and adopt a tiered management model;strengthen career management and expand the space for promotion and development;integrate institutional system and campus culture,build a common vision of colleges and universities.
