| Abstract: | Based on prospective data from 291 pre-service preschool teachers in Northwest China, this study attempted to clarify the relationship between work volition and major-job congruence and the mediating effect of major satisfaction. Results showed that work volition at Wave 1 was associated positively with major-job congruence. Major satisfaction at Wave 2 served as a mediator linking work volition at Wave 1 and major-job congruence at Wave 3. The findings provide new avenues to understand how critical personal psychological resources and well-being are in a changing and bumpy world of work. |
