競爭性、文化智商與出國工作意圖之關聯──自我效能的中介作用

The Relations among Competition, Cultural Intelligence, and Overseas Work Intention - The Mediating Effect of Self Efficacy

本研究在探討競爭性、文化智商、自我效能和出國工作意圖之關聯。依據自我決定論推導競爭性與文化智商對出國工作意圖的直接關係，也就是大學應屆畢業生可能為了滿足能力需求而決定出國工作的關係，並提出自我效能機制來連結能力感、文化智商和追求具挑戰性目標（如出國工作意圖）的中介歷程。本研究對象為台灣地區國、私立大學之應屆畢業生，共計發放370份，回收有效問卷為306份，有效回收率為82.7％。結果顯示，大學應屆畢業生的競爭性越高，出國工作意圖越高；文化智商越高，自我效能和出國工作意圖也越高，其中自我效能具部分中介效果。除此之外，調節認知性文化智商會透過自我效能的提高，進一步影響出國工作意圖，因此，自我效能具部分中介效果。

This study aimed to assess the relationships among the competition, cultural intelligence (CI), self-efficacy, and overseas work intention. According to the self-determination theory, we conducted direct relationships from the competition and cultural intelligence to work overseas intention. That is, senior students might decide to work overseas to fulfill the competence need. The authors also proposed the self-efficacy mechanism to link the perceived competence to the belief in oneself with competence, and then the belief encourages students to pursue a challenging goal of working overseas. The study collected data from 370 senior students in both public and private universities in Taiwan. A total of 306 participants returned valid responses making the valid response rate 82.7%. The results revealed that students possessing more competition leads to having higher overseas work intention. The more cultural intelligence they have, the more self-efficacy and overseas work intention they showed. Self-efficacy had a partial mediating effect on the CI-intention relation. Furthermore, metacognitive CI was positively related to both self-efficacy and overseas job intention. Self-efficacy thus had a partial mediating effect on the path from metacognitive CI to overseas work intention.
