Abstract:

This study aims to explore the relationship between job motivation and career identity among logistics staff in Chinese universities. It measures job motivation from the dimensions of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, assesses career identity in terms of occupational behavioral engagement, development identity and value identification in the profession, test the significant relationship between job motivation and career identity, and proposes feasible strategies to enhance job motivation and career identity, thereby promoting staff career development and organizational performance. This study used the descriptive type of research and there were 220 who are currently employed logistics staff in universities. The study showed that the logistics staff in Chinese universities career identity is jointly driven by intrinsic motivation (such as job satisfaction and task challenge) and extrinsic motivation (such as job security, incentives, and promotion). Among these factors, behavioral engagement and developmental identification are relatively strong, while value identification is comparatively weak. It is suggested that through task redesign, incentive optimization, and cultural guidance, a systematic enhancement of the synergistic effect between job motivation and career identity can be achieved.
