博士 === 國立臺南大學 === 教育經營與管理研究所碩士班 === 100 === The purpose of this study is to examine how institutionalized socialization tactics and hospitality interns’ proactive behaviors jointly affect socialization learning and students adjustment (job satisfaction, vocational identity). Based on a survey sample of 408 students who enrolled in a 6-month or one-year hospitality internship, the study used structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques to test 7 Hypotheses and the model fit. The results indicate that 1. Institutionalized socialization tactics and interns’ proactive behaviors are positively related to socialization content; 2. Socialization content partially mediates the relationship between institutionalized socialization tactics and interns proactive behaviors with a number of distal outcomes (intrinsic satisfaction, vocational identity); 3. Socialization content is negatively related to extrinsic satisfaction; 4. Hospitality vocational identity is affected both by socialization content and extrinsic satisfaction; 5. The fit statistics of this organizational socialization model indicated a good fit to the interns data.
