Analysis of the employment choice behavior among reproductive women: focus on the concept of "Yarigai"

本研究的目的在于探讨影响女性退出劳动力市场的其他因素。假设如下：如果他们认为自己的工作很有趣和/或具有挑战性，他们就能找到一种方法继续自己工作。从心理学概念（如亚日盖、组织支持感）和具体行为（如国家公民行为、工作绩效）两个方面进行了定量和定性研究。研究发现，亚日盖是保持工作强度的必要条件，但不是充分条件，而POS是最重要的变量。

The purpose of this research is to clarify the other factors to affect the females’ withdrawalintension from the labor market. The hypothesis was as follows: they could figure out a way tokeep working by themselves, if they considered that their jobs were interesting and/or challenging. I conducted quantity and quality studies from the two aspects: the psychological concepts (such asYarigai, and Perceived Organizational Support) and the specific behavior (such as OrganizationalCitizenship Behavior, and job performance). I found out that Yarigai was the necessary condition,but not the sufficient condition to keep working intension, and POS was the most importantvariable.
