چکیده
هدف: رسالت حرفه‌ای مفهومی است که در یک دهه اخیر توجه پژوهشگران حوزه‌های مختلف تخصصی را به خود معطوف کرده است. به‌رغم این موضوع، تنوع و تکثر تعاریف ارائه شده و صورتبندی‌های مختلف این پدیده سبب شده اجماع چندانی در مورد ماهیت و ابعاد تشکیل‌دهنده آن وجود نداشته باشد. از اینرو، پژوهش حاضر با هدف فهم ساختار اساسی پدیده رسالت حرفه‌ای، از منظر کارکنان شاغل در یکی از سازمان‌های مردم‌نهاد انجام شد تا به درک عمیق‌تر این مفهوم کمک کند.

روش: از آنجا که هدف، یافتن ساختار اساسی پدیده رسالت حرفه‌ای، و نه شرح تجربه انفرادی افراد بود، پژوهش با رویکرد کیفیِ پدیدارشناسی توصیفی و با روش چهار مرحله‌ای گئورگی طرح‌ریزی و انجام شد. برای گردآوری داده‌ها، مصاحبه‌های روایتی با هشت نفر از کارکنان موسسه محک بهعنوان یک موسسه مردم‌نهاد شناخته شده در کشور انجام شد. برای تأیید قابلیت اعتمادِ تحلیل‌ها از دو روش بازآوایی و بازتاب‌پذیری که ازجمله روش‌های ارزیابی پژوهش‌های پدیدار‌شناختی هستند، استفاده شد.
یافته‌ها: پس از تعیین واحدهای معنا و تبدیلات حاصل از ترکیب، ادغام و انتزاع آن‌ها، رسالت حرفه‌ای به مثابه نوعی فراخواندن متعالی و گرانیگاه ساحات زندگی تعریف شد. به‌علاوه، اجزای کلیدیِ معنای پدیده و روابط میان آن‌ها نشان داد، این مفهوم سرشتی دوگانه دارد؛ سویه‌ مثبت که ابعاد انگیزه‌بخش درونزا و سویه‌ منفی که ابعاد آزارنده برونزا هستند. درنهایت، اجزای کلیدی ساختار اساسی پدیده رسالت حرفه‌ای بر اساس توصیف هر جزء تحلیل شدند.

چکیده English

Purpose: Calling is a concept that has attracted the attention of researchers in various fields in the last decade. Despite that, the variety and multiplicity of definitions provided and the different formulations of this phenomenon have led to a lack of consensus on the nature and dimensions of its construct. Therefore, the present study aimed to understand the construct of calling from the perspective of employees working in a non-governmental organization to help better understand this concept.

Methodology: Since the aim was to find the structure of calling, and not to describe the experience of individuals, the research was designed and conducted with a qualitative approach of descriptive phenomenology and with the four-step Giorgi method. To collect the data, narrative interviews were conducted with eight employees of Mahak Institute, a well-known non-governmental organization in the country. To confirm the reliability of the analyzes, two methods of resonancy and reflectivity were used, which are among the evaluation methods of phenomenological research.

Results: After determining units of meaning and transformations resulting from their combination, integration and abstraction, calling was defined as a kind of transcendental muster and the center and gravity of life. In addition, the key constituents of the meaning of the phenomenon and the relationships between them showed that this concept has a double-edged nature; The positive side are the endogenous motivating dimensions and the negative side are the annoying exogenous dimensions. Finally, key constituents of the calling construct and their meaning units were analyzed based on the description of each constituent.
