正念傾向、心理堅韌性與部隊生活適應關係之探究—以心理堅韌性為中介變項

Relationships Between Dispositional Mindfulness and Military Adjustment: Mental Toughness as Mediator

過去研究影響官兵生活適應的個人因素時，多著重在人格特質的討論，較少從個人心理優勢的觀點瞭解官兵部隊適應狀況。本研究旨在探究現役官兵在正念傾向、心理堅韌性與部隊生活適應之間的關係，並檢驗心理堅韌性在正念傾向與部隊生活適應間的中介效果。本研究採用方便取樣調查法，以陸軍現役官兵為研究對象，運用結構方程式模型探究變項間的關係，並採用拔靴法進行中介效果分析。研究結果顯示：官兵正念傾向和心理堅韌性對部隊生活適應有顯著的正向關聯；正念傾向亦對心理堅韌性有顯著的正向關聯；心理堅韌性在正念傾向與部隊生活適應之間扮演部分中介角色。綜言之，官兵的正念傾向與心理堅韌性皆為影響部隊生活適應的重要個人因素，由此可知，除了改善部隊工作或營舍環境等外在條件，協助官兵累積正念和心理堅韌性等正向的心理資源，不失為增進其職場適應力之具體途徑。最後，依據研究結果提出建議，供部隊實務管理之參考。

 

Prior research on military adjustment of soldiers most focus on personality and neglect the influence of personal psychological strength. Thus, this study explores the relationship among dispositional mindfulness, mental toughness, and military adjustment of soldiers. Using convenience sampling to collect surveys from 407 army soldiers, structural equation modeling with bootstrapping is applied to study the relationship among variables. The findings show dispositional mindfulness and mental toughness have a significant positive effect on military adjustment, where mental toughness partially mediates between dispositional mindfulness and military adjustment. In sum, dispositional mindfulness and mental toughness are important personal factors that affect military adjustment. Therefore, in addition to changing the external conditions of work or barrack, assisting soldiers to strengthen their positive psychological attributes such as mindfulness and mental toughness may enhance their adjustment in the army. Based on the results, the researcher provides suggestions for the management of the military.
