男女高校教师职业成功感的影响机制比较研究

Factors Influencing Gender Differences in Academic Faculty's Subjective Career Success

文章在问卷调查的基础上,探究了男女高校教师职业成功感的影响机制及其性别差异。研究结果表明:有效的上级领导和导师指导这两个组织氛围感知对男女高校教师的职业成功感都存在影响;男女高校教师职业成功感的影响机制存在性别差异:女教师的职业成功感更多源于感知的内部关系支持而非学术资源的获取,而男教师的职业成功感则几乎均等地源于内部关系支持和学术资源的获取。研究结论对女性职业理论的深入研究以及对高校推进性别平等,促进女性人才成长具有重要的启示意义。

This study investigates factors influencing faculties＇ subjective career success and the existing gender differences based on the findings from 248 male and female faculties in Shanghai universities who answered our questionnaire. Our findings indicate that both women and men perceive that their career success is influenced by the institutional leadership and academic mentoring they receive, although gender differences exist in the factors that influence men and women＇ career success. Female faculty members think that their success is more related to the support they receive than to attainment of academic resources, while male faculty members think that their success come equally from the support of inner relationships as well as the attainment of resources. This study thus has implications for further research on female professional development and the promotion of gender equality and women＇s advancement in post-secondary education.
