iii.Examine whether organizational socialization exhibited mediated the relationship between interns’ work values and employment intentions.
A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed, and all the questionnaires were returned. A total of 288 valid samples were collected after 12 invalid questionnaires were eliminated. Thus, the valid return rate was 96%. Questionnaire data were analyzed through the use of SPSS statistical software, and hypotheses were evaluated through the standard deviation of the mean, Cronbach’s α, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression analysis.
The research results revealed that work values and organizational socialization both positively and significantly affected interns’ employment intentions. Moreover, organizational socialization mediated the relationship between work values and employment intentions.
Several suggestions for management may be offered according to the research results. During the process of career-value socialization, the essential factor for students was obtaining a sense of achievement that aligned with their core values. Students who received sufficient encouragement and affirmation during their internships attained senses of achievement and satisfaction. These students were effectively socialized and exhibited enhanced intentions to remain in the leisure industry. Enterprises that offered lucrative conditions and welfare to interns attracted and improved the career-value socialization of students who were under external pressures. These measures enabled students to anticipate future employment, and they were more likely to return to the organizations after graduation.
