ABSTRACT:
Based on the questionnaire of 207 enterprise employees in South China, this
paper uses the method such as hierarchical regression analysis, to explore the
relationship between career growth and work engagement, the intermediary
role of organizational identification and the moderating effect of person-
organization value fit. The study shows that: 1) Employee career growth
has a significant positive impact on organizational identification and work
engagement; 2) Organizational identification plays a partial mediating role
between career growth and work engagement; 3) Person-organization value fit
positively regulates the relationship between career growth and organizational
identification. That is to say, the higher the person-organization value fit, the
more obvious the influence of career growth on organizational identification.
Finally, based on the results, the paper discusses the significance of this research
in theory and practice.
