Abstract

<p>This study conducts two-group structural equation modeling for Japanese students and Chinese foreign-exchange students who work as employees in parttime jobs. There are few previous studies that treat role stressors and POS for temporary worker as variables. The cluster analysis of non-regular employees by Martin and Sinclair (2007) was applied for this study, and it shows the changes in value for the extracted groups. The following scales are used in this research: role stressors (quantitative overload, qualitative overload, role conflict, and role clarity), perceived organizational support (POS), turnover intention, overall job satisfaction, and affective commitment. The research objects are “students who continue working one part-time job in Japan for more than one month,” and the target parttime job is “one part-time job that the student is still working at in Japan (serving the longest tenure in comparison to others).” The total valid responses was 312 (Japanese = 205, Chinese = 107).</p><p>As a result of the analyses, role stressors except role clarity affect overall job satisfaction and a moderate effect of POS was confirmed between role conflict and overall job satisfaction. Overall job satisfaction influences affective commitment and turnover intention, and affective commitment does not affect turnover intention.</p><p>As proposals for all college students who work as part-time employees, the manager or organization should resolve discontent such as role ambiguity and role overload. The importance of POS was confirmed based on the analytical results for the Chinese students group. In addition, the manager should give employees clear, concise duties even if they are a foreign-exchange student.</p>
