什么在影响新闻学子的职业选择?——基于职业动机和行业环境感知影响的分析

Journalism Students’Career Choice:Impacts of Motivation and Perceived Professional Environment

本文整合了职业选择文献中相关的社会心理模型,揭示了新闻学子职业选择过程中个人动机、感知的机会结构和职业社会化之间的复杂关系。通过分析江浙两所综合性大学230名新闻专业本科一年级到四年级学生从事新闻工作的职业意愿,研究发现出于公共服务动机和内在动机报考新闻专业的学生更可能在毕业后从事新闻工作,感知的职业自主性弱化会抑制学生为了公共服务目标而从事新闻工作的意愿。

The journalism students’professional attitudes are related to the future development of journalism industry in China.Journalism scholars and educators have shown growling concern with journalism students’motivation,professional identity,and career choice.By integrating sociopsychological models of career choice,this article revealed the intertwined relationships among journalism students’motivation,perceived structure of opportunity and professional socialization in the career choice process.By analyzing 230 journalism students’willingness to work as a journalist after graduation,the study found that students with a public service motive or an intrinsic motive were more willing to work in journalism.However,the perceived deterioration of professional autonomy in journalism may moderate the positive relationship between the public service motive and the willingness to work in journalism.
