The Relationship Between Professional Mission, Employee Engagement And Work Vigou

The rapid development of economy has promoted the rapid development and progress of the organization,however,with the intensification of competition outside the organization and the workplace,the organization has put forward higher requirements for employees’ skills.Meanwhile,job pressure has gradually increased,and negative emotions have gradually increased.What is more serious is that the workload will lead to the exhaustion of employees’ energy,and employees cannot maintain their enthusiasm and motivation for their work,nor can they improve themselves.Therefore,how to keep employees full of energy,at the same time,stimulate employees’ selfgrowth needs and make them make continuous progress in their work is an urgent problem to be solved and improved in the organization’s practice under the current economic background.Previous studies have shown that both calling and employee participation have a significant positive impact on thriving at work,but most of the previous studies have investigated their separate effects on thriving at work.Few researchers have discussed their effects on employee behavior,the mediating role of thriving at work in the above-mentioned process,the internal heterogeneity of calling and employee participation,and their joint effects on thriving at work and proactive behavior.Through the above research can not only enrich the person-centered research in the field of organizational behavior,but also provide reference and suggestions for organizations and managers on how to improve employees’ thriving at work and then urge them to take proactive behavior to realize the long-term development of both employees and organizations.This study distributed and recovered 435 questionnaires that including thriving at work scale,calling scale,employee participation scale and proactive behavior scale to employees in enterprises and institutions through the way of online and offline,and 404 questionnaires were valid.The data obtained were analyzed by SPSS 23.0 and Mplus 8.0.This study explored the relationship between calling,employee participation and thriving at work,proactive behavior,as well as the latent profile analysis based on calling and employee participation and the relationship between profiles and thriving at work,proactive behavior.The results were as follows:(1)The dimensions of calling,namely,transcendent summons,purposeful work and prosocial orientation,all had significant positive predictive effects on thriving at work.(2)The dimensions of employee participation,namely,information sharing,suggestion adoption and empowerment,all had significant positive predictive effects on thriving at work.(3)The dimensions of calling,namely,purposeful work and prosocial orientation,all had significant positive predictive effects on proactive behavior.(4)The dimension of employee participation,namely,empowerment,had significant positive predictive effects on proactive behavior.(5)Thriving at work played a complete mediating role in the relationship between transcendent summons and proactive behavior.And it played a partial mediating role in the relationship between purposeful work and proactive behavior.It also played a partial mediating role between prosocial orientation and proactive behavior.(6)Thriving at work played a partial mediating role in the relationship between all dimensions of employee participation and proactive behavior.(7)Calling and employee participation could divide employees into four subgroups with different reaction categories and numbers,namely risky group,marginal group,ordinary group and dominant group.There were significant differences in thriving at work among different subgroups.Compared with the other three subgroups,the dominant group’s scores were significantly higher on thriving at work.Meanwhile,the ordinary group’s scores were significantly higher than the risky and marginal groups’,and the marginal group’s scores were also significantly higher than the risky groups’.(8)Marginal group’s purposeful work and empowerment had a significant positive predictive effect on thriving at work,and its purposeful work also had a significant positive predictive effect on proactive behavior.Ordinary group’s purposeful work also had a significant positive predictive effect on proactive behavior.
