教師感恩特質與幫助行為之關聯：以知覺學校組織良善氣氛為中介變項

The Organizational Support Climate as a Mediator between the Relationship of Trait Gratitude and Helping Behavior in Elementary school teachers

本研究探討教師感恩特質與幫助行為的關係，以及學校組織良善氣氛能否扮演教師感恩特質與幫助行為之間的中介角色。研究以全國227名國小教師為對象，研究工具採用感恩特質量表、組織氣氛量表、幫助行為量表作為研究工具，透過實徵資料之蒐集，利用結構方程模式進行分析。研究結果發現：（1）教師感恩特質對幫助行為直接效果不顯著。（2）教師感恩特質與組織良善氣氛達顯著相關。（3）教師知覺組織良善氣氛對幫助行為效果達顯著相關，並且組織良善氣氛在教師感恩特質與幫助行為之間扮演完全中介變項的角色。最後根據研究結果針對教育現場與未來研究方向提出建議。

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the organizational support climate, trait gratitude and helping behavior of elementary school teachers. This study adopts a survey research method which comprised of three questionnaires such as: “Gratitude Questionnaire,” “School Organizational Climate scale,” and “Helping Behavior Scale.” Participants were 227 elementary school teachers selected from elementary school in Taiwan. The collected data were analyzed by the structural equation model (SEM) used for the test of the structural model after the reliability and validity analysis. Based on the empirical results, the findings of the research are shown as following: (1) Teacher’s trait gratitude could not significantly predict teachers’ helping behavior. (2) Teacher’s trait gratitude could significantly and positively predict the organizational support climate. (3) Teachers’ perception of the organizational support climate could significantly and positively predict teachers’ helping behavior, and the organizational support climate plays the full mediator role for the positive impact from teacher’s trait gratitude to teachers’ helping behavior. Finally, based on the findings of the research, the research provides conclusions and suggestions to practitioners and subsequent researchers.
