The Influence of Challenge-hindrance Stressor on High-tech R&D Staffs' Subjective Career Success:Result of Career Self-efficacy and Organizational Career Management

Abstract

Abstract:

The perceived pressure has important effect on the staffs' mind and behavior, but the "black box" still needs to be further clarified. Staffs' perceived pressure can be analyzed from two dimensions:challenge and hindrance. Empirical study based on high-tech R&D staff shows that challenge stressor has complete mediating effect between career self-efficacy and subjective career success, and hindrance stressor has partial mediating effect between career self-efficacy and subjective career success. Organizational career management can directly enhance staffs' career self-efficacy and subjective career success, reduce negative effects from hindrance stressor, but also could enhance the effect of challenge stressor on R&D staffs' career self-efficacy. Therefore, high-tech organizations should identify the different stressors, set challenge stressor reasonably, in particular, reduce the influence of negative pressure sources such as the political behavior, bureaucratic behavior, and work-family conflicts, emphasis on R&D staffs' career management, improve R&D Staffs' occupation guidance and support system, design and implementation of career support scheme for different career, strengthen their perceived support from the organization by failure tolerance, personalized support and non boundary learning to enhance their career efficacy and career development.

Key words: challenge-hindrance stressor, subjective career success, career self-efficacy, organizational career management
