Abstract

The present study examined factors regulating the initial adaptation of newly hired women to their jobs from 2 viewpoints : (a) whether the goal-meeting aspiration system that contributed to job attainment had the same functions and structure for job performance as adopters expected, and (b) the relation between the goal-meeting aspiration system and emotional adaptation. In this longitudinal study, questionnaires were complete by 208 participants at 3 different times. Structural equation modeling indicated the following : (a) The factors of the goal-meeting aspiration system for job performance had almost the same structure as those of the system during job hunting. Challenge-aspiration during job hunting had a strong influence on will and goal-pursuing behavior in the duties of the job, whereas relatedness-aspiration influenced job performance only when it was mediated by will. (b) Will for the duties of the job, with the mediation of 2 aspirations, enhanced contentment with the duties of the job and the human environment of the workplace, and lessened the wish to change jobs. The present study suggests the important of fostering challenge-aspiration and will, both of which had a meaningful impact on job hunting and job performance.
