随着中国职位聘任制和合同制的实施,教师在这个新兴的学术市场中的流动性比以前更加活跃,尽管在流动频率和比例上,他们仍然不如西方同行活跃。本实证研究利用全国50所知名研究型大学的数据,探讨教师的工作认知与流动意愿之间的关系,旨在更全面地了解中国的学术职业。它建议(a)弄清楚教职员工的流动意愿与他们对大学内部环境的满意度之间的关系,以及(b)澄清内部和外部组织环境因素在预测教职人员流动方面哪个更重要。此外,考虑到中国的社会背景,我们打算研究基于西方的满意度和流动意愿理论是否能够充分解释这一特定背景下的现象。最重要的发现是,中国教师对组织环境的满意度较低,虽然是“推”因素,但往往是潜在的,即使出现“拉”因素,即更好的学术发展机会,“拉”因素也不一定能产生明显的影响,因为一所大学所在的“地区/城市”参数是其流动或稳定的前提或最关键的原因。
With the implementation of position appointment and contract system in China, faculty become more mobile than before in this emerging academic market, though in terms of mobility frequency and rate, they are still less active than their counterparts in the West. Using the data collected from 50 renowned research universities throughout China, this empirical study probes into the relationship between faculty members’ working perception and their mobility intention, aiming at achieving a more comprehensive understanding of the academic profession in China. It proposes (a) to figure out the relationship between faculty members’ mobility intention and their satisfaction with the internal environment within a university, and (b) to clarify which is more significant in predicting faculty members’ mobility, the internal or external organizational environment factor. Additionally, given the social background of China, we intend to examine whether western-based theories about satisfaction and mobility intentions can provide an adequate account of the phenomenon in this particular context. A most significant finding is that Chinese faculty members’ low level of satisfaction with organizational environment is operative as the “push” factor but often in a potential way and even if when the “pull” factor, better opportunities for academic development emerges, the “pull” factor can not necessarily exert apparent influence, because the parameter “region/city” where one university is located works as a precondition or the most critical cause for their mobility or stability.
