碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 企業管理系 === 106 === In recent years, internship experience for students, to get their first job after graduation, has become more and more important. Employers also look forward to recruiting potential talents through internship programs. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationships between internship effectiveness, internship satisfaction, and intern’s intention to stay. Also, the author hypothesized that how interns perceive the purpose of their company has moderating effect on internship experience and intention to stay. This study examined 275 students who had internship experience in the past, and conducted the subsequent hypothesis testing. Results show that internship effectiveness and internship satisfaction are positively related to different levels of intention to stay. In terms of moderating effects, it is revealed that when interns attribute the purpose to recruiting, successful and satisfied internship experience will lead to a stronger intention to stay. Furthermore, when interns attribute the purpose to enhancing corporate image, only internship satisfaction will lead to a higher intention to stay.
