本研究探讨了工作作为一种职业的观念，在西方文化中有着悠久的历史，在中国文化中是如何经历的。本研究采用质性研究方法，对210名大学生进行了问卷调查。采用涌现性定性文献分析方法，研究结果揭示了一般职业召唤和与职业相关的职业召唤的四个维度：引导力、意义和目的、利他主义和积极倾向。这些结果在很大程度上与使用西方文化样本的结果一致，尽管“责任感”被认为是中国大学生的一个独特而突出的方面。结果还表明，呼叫的效果并不总是积极的。这项研究提供了第一个证据表明，在中国文化中，至少在大学生参与者中，呼唤的多维结构的许多方面可能是共享的。研究和实践的影响进行了探讨。
This study explored how the perception of work as a calling, a construct with a long history in Western culture, is experienced within Chinese culture. A qualitative study was conducted with 210 Chinese college students. Using emergent qualitative document analysis, results revealed four dimensions of general calling and career-related calling: Guiding Force, Meaning and Purpose, Altruism, and Active Tendency. These results largely converge with those found using samples within Western cultures, although the label “sense of duty” was found to be a unique and salient aspect of calling among Chinese college students. Results also revealed that effect of calling was not always positive. This study provides the first evidence that many aspects of the multidimensional construct of calling may be shared within Chinese culture, at least with college student participants. Implications for research and practice are explored.
