The Measurement and Incentive Mechanism of Administrative Dynamics of Chinese Grassroots Cadres in the New Era: Mediation Effect of Career Aspiration and Moderation Effect of Promotion Prospect

Abstract

 Job satisfaction has a direct influence on workplace performance in the conditions of psychological well-being. However, work-related quality of life is not the only factor influencing job performance. This research paper makes an attempt to examine how employees’ career aspirations benefit organizations. Unlike all the previous studies, the current one ties the stated purpose to such factors as employees’ creativity and job satisfaction, closely connected with transformational leadership practice. To gain our aim we collected data from 266 working professionals. Further, hierarchical linear model was used to analyze results. The findings underline the need to focus on how performance management orientations and job quality combine to influence career initiative. It may be concluded that those with high levels of career aspiration and perceived organizational support were positively associated with subjective career success. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings were discussed in light of their novel contributions to theory and practice. The directions for future research are also underlined.
