近年來，大眾對於人類福祉與社會責任的關注不斷提升，因而讓使命導向組織的相關議題逐漸引發討論。過去研究已證實在使命導向組織中，成員的利社會動機能為其工作績效帶來正向的影響，然而其中的中介機制仍未受到充分探究。本研究認為，具有利社會動機之個人能在使命導向組織中實現其造福社會的理想，因而感知到較高的使命感，並進一步透過對工作的認同，產生較高的工作投入，最後達成高工作績效。故本研究以組織成員使命感與工作投入為中介變項，探討利社會動機與工作績效之間的中介歷程。本研究蒐集來自37個不同組織、共420位組織成員的資料，並以多因子序列式中介模型進行假設驗證。
研究結果顯示，利社會動機會分別透過使命感與工作投入正向影響工作績效；除此之外，利社會動機會經由使命感提升工作投入，進而反映在其輔助性績效上。本研究根據結果提出管理意涵如下：1. 藉由甄選工具來確保組織成員具有高利社會動機與使命感與 2. 加強組織成員的使命感與工作投入，以達成高工作績效。

Nowadays, mission-driven organizations are becoming more and more popular as increasing concerns about human welfare and social responsibility. Previous studies have suggested that individuals with prosocial motivation have better job performance in mission-driven organizations. However, the mediating mechanisms remain uncertain. This study proposes that prosocially motivated individuals can experience higher levels of sense of calling by making prosocial difference to reach self-achievement through mission-driven organizations. Furthermore they will achieve higher degrees of job involvement by identifying with their work, and eventually make better job performance. Hence, this study proposes individual’s sense of calling and job involvement as the mediators. The data was collected from 37 different organizations and 420 subjects, and tested by serial multiple mediation analysis.
The results show that prosocial motivation is positively related to job performance through calling or job involvement. Besides, prosocial motivation would partially influence an individual’s job involvement and subsequent contextual performance through sense of calling.
