使命效价:文献述评与研究展望

Mission Valence:A Review and Prospects

使命效价是指员工对组织使命的参与、被吸引以及对其价值的感知程度,体现了个体对组织价值的体悟状态和对组织使命的融入水平,是实现个体发展和提升组织绩效的重要因素。国外学者已对使命效价展开了一系列研究,但国内关于该领域的研究尚处于起步阶段,缺乏相关研究梳理与系统述评。为了更好地推动和增强使命效价理论研究进展与管理实践成效,本文对使命效价相关研究进行系统梳理。首先,基于个体感知视角与组织效能视角对使命效价的概念进行梳理讨论,并通过与相近概念辨析,进一步明晰使命效价概念的内涵和外延。其次,从组织工作重要程度和个体情绪唤醒程度论述有关使命效价的测量方法。再次,基于不同层次与理论视角对使命效价的前因变量、作用机制及结果变量进行分层归纳,进而构建使命效价研究的整合分析框架。最后,针对现有研究的局限,从前因体系、作用机制、结果变量、数据方法及学科融合五个方面进行未来研究展望。

Mission valence is defined as the degree to which employees perceive the mission as“engaging,attracting,and worthwhile”.It reflects the extent to which employees understand the organization's values and are integrated into the organization's mission,which is an important factor to achieve personal development and improve organizational performance.Therefore,how to mobilize organizational members to spontaneously integrate into the organizational vision and efficiently complete organizational tasks has become a realistic proposition that needs to be solved.However,domestic research on mission valence is still in its infancy,and there is a lack of systematic review.This paper systematically combs relevant academic achievements and constructs a research framework of mission valence,so as to more vividly depict and explain the psychological adjustment process behind the complex and variable relationship between individuals and organizations,and effectively compare and discover the differences and mechanisms of the relationship between individuals and organizations in different organizational types and cultures.First,the concept of mission valence is discussed based on the perspective of individual perception and organizational effectiveness,and the connotation and extension of mission valence are further clarified from the aspects of perceived degree,driving factors,and key elements through the analysis of similar concepts such as mission matching,calling,public service motivation,work engagement,and organizational identity.Second,from the perspectives of job importance and individual emotional arousal,the measurement of mission valence is discussed.Third,based on different dimensions and theories,the antecedent variables,mechanisms and outcome variables of mission valence are summarized,and the systematic research framework is constructed.Regarding the antecedent variables,internal perception and external drive are the main impact factors of mission valence.Regarding the outcome variables,mission valence will have an impact on individual attitude,behavior,motivation,and performance.In addition,the mediating effect mainly includes visual path,non-visual path,resource-gaining path,and resource-losing path.The moderating effect is mainly carried out around the resource conservation theory,the self-determination theory,the goal-setting theory,and the social cognition theory.On the basis of the existing research,this paper looks forward to the future research from five aspects:First,enrich the antecedent variables and build a multi-level analytical dimension framework.Second,analyze the influence mechanism and focus on Chinese characteristics and the circumstances of the new era.Third,clarify the outcome variables and pay attention to the impact of organizational factors and the negative effect of mission valence.Fourth,optimize the measurement scale and expand data sources and research methods.Fifth,break the stereotyped way of thinking and attach importance to disciplinary integration and field application.Overall,this paper provides a more comprehensive research picture and useful reference for practitioners and researchers.
