善有惡報：基督信仰職場人士心理調適策略之質性研究

Abstract

本研究旨在探討基督信仰職場工作者如何在面對「善有惡報」情境時，進行心理調適。過去相關文獻雖探討個體在此情境下的心理反應，但多聚焦於東方儒佛脈絡，尚未有針對基督信仰脈絡的深入探討。本研究採用質性深度訪談法，訪談15位基督徒職場工作者，並透過理論導向主題分析法進行分析。研究結果顯示，受訪者主要運用「基模同化」與「基模轉移」策略，鮮少使用東方常見之「基模超越」；且特別強調「上帝審視公義」與「長期意義」的信念架構，經常援引聖經經文：「我們行善，不可喪志；若不灰心，到了時候就要收成」（加拉太書6:9），以維持內在心理平衡及道德動力。本研究首次從基督信仰觀點探索此議題，不僅填補現有理論缺口，亦豐富了跨文化與跨宗教心理調適理論之內涵。未來建議可進一步透過量化或跨文化比較，檢驗本研究發現之一般性與適用性。This study explores psychological adaptation strategies employed by Christian workers encountering situations of goodness betrayed in the workplace. Prior literature addressing such circumstances has primarily focused on contexts influenced by Confucian or Buddhist traditions, leaving a significant research gap regarding Christian-specific psychological mechanisms. Using qualitative interviews and theoretical thematic analysis, this research examines the experiences of 15 Christian participants. Results reveal a predominant reliance on schema assimilation and schema shift strategies, with limited application of schema transcendence—a strategy more prevalent within Eastern traditions. Christian workers notably emphasized beliefs in divine justice and a long-term perspective, frequently referencing scriptures such as Galatians 6:9:"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." These theological underpinnings enabled participants to maintain psychological balance and moral motivation despite adversity. By being the first to systematically examine the phenomenon of goodness betrayed within the Christian context, this study substantially enriches existing theoretical frameworks and provides critical cross-cultural insights into psychological adaptation strategies.Future research could employ quantitative methodologies or cross-cultural comparative studies to further examine the generalizability of these findings.
