臺灣女子職業高爾夫選手主動性人格與社會支持對職涯滿意度之預測

Abstract

主動性人格是相對不受環境限制，且擁有相對穩定傾向，會主動尋求改變環境的個體。過去實證研究強調了主動性人格對促進個體職涯滿意度在職場上的重要性，除了人格特質，環境因素也是影響職涯滿意度的重要角色。然而，在職業運動中，探討主動性人格預測職涯滿意度的研究相當少。因此，本研究目的在探討主動性人格與社會支持對臺灣女子職業高爾夫選手職涯滿意度的預測情形。本研究以75位臺灣女子職業高爾夫選手為對象，平均年齡為30.19歲。經參與者同意後，填寫主動性人格、社會支持與職涯滿意度量表，進行問卷調查。所得資料以皮爾遜積差相關與多元階層迴歸進行統計分析，所得結果如下：一、主動性人格能夠顯著正向預測職涯滿意度，解釋變異量為47%。二、贊助商支持能夠顯著正向預測職涯滿意度，解釋變異量為8%。三、家人支持、朋友支持與教練支持無法顯著預測職涯滿意度。研究結果顯示，主動性人格為預測女子職業高爾夫選手職涯滿意度最重要的變項，其次為贊助商的支持。基於上述結果，建議未來可針對低主動性人格的選手，適時提供輔導與教育訓練，讓選手瞭解主動採取行動與改變環境的行為有助於獲得較高的職涯滿意度。再者，期望未來臺灣企業能夠多加關注臺灣女子職業高爾夫選手，提供選手相關贊助將有助於選手獲得較高的職涯滿意度。

Proactive personality is considered a stable disposition to take personal initiative in a broad range of activities and situations. Previous studies have highlighted the importance of proactive personality in fostering individual’s career satisfaction in the workplace. In addition to personality, environmental factors also play an important role on career satisfaction. However, only few studies explored proactive personality predict career satisfaction in professional sports. Therefore the purpose of this study was to examine the predictive utility of proactive personality and social support on female professional golfers’ career satisfaction. Participants were 75 female professional golfers, average age were 30.19 years. After received the informed consent, they were requested to complete inventories that assess proactive personality, social support, and career satisfaction. Research data were analyzed by Pearson’s correlation and multiple hierarchical regression. The results of this study indicated that proactive personality and sponsor support positively predicted career satisfaction. The explained variances were 47% and 8% respectively. Family support, friend support, and coach support could not significantly predict career satisfaction. According to the results, the prediction of proactive personality was much higher than sponsor support for professional golfers. Based on the results, we suggest that providing education and training program for low proactive personality' golfers and letting them know to be proactive will help achieve higher career satisfaction. Moreover, Taiwan enterprises would be encouraged to pay more attention to female professional golfers and provide them relevant sponsors so that help golfers enhancing higher career satisfaction.
