Abstract

Abstract: With the popularization and development of preschool education in my country, the physical and mental health in preschool teachers has aroused social attention. At present, the shortage of preschool teachers in my country has increased the workload in preschool teachers, thus making preschool teachers in my country have a high incidence of job burnout. Job Burnout is a state of physical and emotional exhaustion experienced by individuals, and Job Burnout is an occupational mental health problem among preschool teachers, which can cause damage to the body and psychology in preschool teachers to a certain extent. It is a worldwide public health problem, which seriously hinders the construction of the preschool education faculty in my country. Based on the existing research conclusions and related theories, this research proposes the following three research hypotheses. Research hypothesis H1: Person-Organization Fit has a significant negative predictive effect on preschool teachers’ job burnout; Research hypothesis H2: Occupational adaptation plays a meditating role in the relationship of Person-Organization Fit and preschool teacher’ job burnout; Hypothesis H3: Psychological resilience has an significant moderating effect on the relationship of preschool teacher’ Person-Organization Fit and occupational adaptation and job burnout. It is hoped that, the hypothesis of this research can be demonstrated to explore the relationship of Person-Organization Fit and preschool teacher’ s job burnout.
In order to explore the relationship of Person-Organization Fit and preschool teachers’ Job burnout. 1127 preschool teachers were surveyed with the Person-Organization Fit scale, the teachers’ Job burnout Scale, the Occupational Adaptation scale and the Psychological Resilience Scale, then we used SPSS 21.0 and Process 3.4 to analyze the data, and investigate whether there is a common method deviation problem in the data. This study found that: (1)There is no obvious common method bias in the test results. Preschool teachers’ Person-Organization Fit, Occupational Adaptation and Job burnout is significantly correlated with each other. (2)Person-Organization Fit has a significant direct effect on the level of preschool teachers’ Job burnout (β =-.26, p < .001, 95%CI: -.51~-.10), and has a significant predictive effect on preschool teachers’ occupational adaptation (β =.18, p <.01, 95%CI:.14~.31), occupational adaptation has a significant predictive effect on preschool teachers’ Job burnout (β=-.24, p<.001, 95%CI :-.36~-.14). In other words, Person-Organization Fit can predict preschool teachers’ job burnout through the mediating role of Occupational Adaptation. (3) Psychological resilience has a significant predictive effect on preschool teachers’ job burnout (β=-.33, p<.001, 95%CI: -.44~-.30), and has a significant predictive effect on occupational adaptation (β=.36, p<.001, 95%CI: .13~.44), the interaction of psychological resilience and Person-Organization Fit also has a significant predictive effect on preschool teachers’ job burnout (β=-.06, p<.001, 95%CI: -.16~-.01), and has a significant predictive effect on preschool teachers’ occupational adaptation (β=-.09, p<.001, 95%CI: -.11~-.08), psychological resilience can moderate the relationship between Person-Organization Fit and Occupational Adaptation, and also can moderate the relationship between Person-Organization Fit and Job burnout. (4)With the improvement of psychological resilience, the mediating role of occupational adaptation begins to gradually decrease, occupational adaptation and psychological resilience can play a moderated mediating role between Person-Organization Fit and Job burnout in preschool teachers.
This study draws the following conclusions: (1) The degree of Person-Organization Fit can significantly predict the level of job burnout in preschool teacher. (2) Occupational adaptation plays an meditating role between Person-Organization Fit and preschool teacher' job burnout. (3) Psychological resilience can significantly moderate the relationship of person-organization fit on the occupational adaptation and job burnout in preschool teachers, and effectively moderate the mediating effect of occupational adaptation.

Key words: person-organization fit, job burnout, occupational adaptation, psychological resilience, preschool teacher

摘要： 为了探讨个人–组织匹配与幼儿教师职业倦怠之间的关系,本研究采用个人–组织匹配量表、教师职业倦怠量表、职业适应量表和心理弹性量表对1127名在职幼儿教师进行测试。结果表明：个人–组织匹配、职业适应和幼儿教师职业倦怠水平彼此之间显著性相关;个人–组织匹配可以显著预测幼儿教师职业倦怠水平;个人–组织匹配可以通过职业适应的中介作用预测幼儿教师职业倦怠向水平;心理弹性在个人–组织匹配对职业适应和职业倦怠的路径上具有显著的调节作用。因此,职业适应和心理弹性在个人–组织匹配与幼儿教师职业倦怠之间起到有调节的中介作用。
