| Summary: | 碩士 === 玄奘大學 === 大眾傳播研究所 === 101 === The development of communication technology intensifies the competition among TV journalists. It changes the competence needs, puts more stress on journalists and increases turnover rate.
Previous studies had shown that turnover rate is negatively correlated to job satisfaction. The higher the turnover rate, the lower the level of job satisfaction among journalists .Therefore our research explores the relationship between work-family conflict (WFC) and job satisfaction. Meanwhile, the pressure levels of journalists are partially caused by those changes in competence need due to technological change such as digital convergence, SNG and etc. Journalists need to be multi-skilled in order to be competitive. Hence we cover competence needs in the research. There are many types of competences and we focus on cognitive competence because it includes the ability to analyze and to solve problem. It assists journalists to be more professional, and relieve their WFC.
In this research, we collect 212 valid samples out of 230 questionnaires. Local TV journalists are sampled from ten TV stations throughout central and southern Taiwan. Data are then processed for SPSS statistical analysis by regression. The major findings are as follows: (1) WFC is negatively correlated to job satisfaction. (2) Cognitive competence moderates the relationship between WFC and job satisfaction. Most of our hypotheses are being supported.
Our research adopts the management approach in examining WFC among journalists. We believe that a journalist will be able to achieve balance between work and family and to improve their job satisfaction, provided that they enhance the cognitive competence. Besides, previous studies on WFC and competence did not focus much in media industry. Therefore we hope to make up this research gap and contribute to the relevant theories as well as management practice.
