安全氣候、領導風格及內控人格對記者績效之影響：工作自主性之調節效果
摘要
The International Federation of Journalists recorded 150 deaths of journalists and their media staff in 2005. However, the issue of reporter safety has long been ignored in the news industry. Does a higher safety climate in a news company have negative impact on the overall job performance of journalists? This paper investigates this topic to determine whether or not a causal relationship exists between the safety climate of a news company and the diminished job performance of journalists. Is it possible that a journalist's autonomy can alter this causal relationship? In addition, this paper examines whether the leadership style of the management and a journalist's personality have any impact on the individual's job performance. It collects 268 valid samples out of 300 questionnaires. By using the hierarchical regression analysis, our results show that safety climate in the workplace has significant negative impact on the journalist's job performance. Furthermore, transformational leadership style and a journalist's locus of control have significant positive influence on the job performance. Finally, we find that the job autonomy has moderate effect on negative relationship between safety climate and job performance. The negative impact of safety climate on job performance is significantly less prominent among individual journalists with high levels of job autonomy. The transformational leadership has positive effect on journalist's job performance with low levels of job autonomy. To sum up, this is the first study in which explores the safety climate's effect on the journalist performance in Taiwan. Improving the job autonomy can diminish the dilemma of safety and efficiency.
