中文摘要
自我覺知就業力的議題，近來引起許多組織的關切，尤其在這變化快速且相當競爭的職場環境中，用人以及留才成了企業高度重視的議題。
本研究主要探討（1）工作自主性和自我覺知就業力之間的關係；（2）自我效能感是否對自我覺知就業力以及工作自主性產生中介效果；（3）同時也探究工作形塑是否對工作自主性以及自我覺知就業力帶來中介效果：（4）自我效能感和工作形塑在工作自主性以及自我覺知就業力之間，是否產生雙中介效果。本研究使用連續雙中介模型並且採用問卷調查法進行定量分析，在知名社群媒體平台中發送電子問卷，最後在回收350份問卷中，篩選出324份有效問卷（n = 324）。最終結果發現：（1）工作自主性對自我覺知就業力有顯著關聯性；（2）自我效能感在工作自主性和自我覺知就業力之間的關係中，無中介效果；（3）工作形塑在工作自主性和自我覺知就業力的關係中，存在著中介效果；（4）自我效能感和工作形塑在工作自主性和自我覺知就業力的研究模型中，有雙中介效果。此研究結果呼應現今變化快速的就業環境中的議題，例如：員工留任、員工發展和組織效能。
關鍵字：工作形塑、工作自主權、自我覺知就業能力、連續中介模型、自我效能感、員工發展、組織效能

Abstract
Self-perceived employability has recently received a remarkable attention in organizations due to the dynamics in the workplace. This study concentrated on (1) analyzing the relationship between job autonomy and self-perceived employability; (2) exploring whether self-efficacy mediates the link between job autonomy and self-perceived employability; (3) also exploring whether job crafting mediates the link between job autonomy and self-perceived employability; (4) finally examining whether the relationship between job autonomy and self-perceived employability is sequentially mediated by self-efficacy and job crafting. To achieve these goals, this study used a serial mediation model and conducted a quantitative research using survey method and electronic questionnaire instrument to deliver the electronic questionnaire via various social media platforms, finally this study generated the data of 350 and 324 valid data at hand (n = 324). The results demonstrated that (1) job autonomy has significant effect on self-perceived employability; (2) self-efficacy does not have mediation effect upon the relationship between job autonomy and self-perceived employability; (3) job crafting has a mediating effect upon the relationship between job autonomy and self-perceived employability; (4) the relationship between job autonomy and self-perceived employability is sequentially mediated by self-efficacy and job crafting. These results have insightful meaning to the recent organizational behavior literature that can address the nowadays volatile working environment to retain employees and enhance employee development and organizational effectiveness.
