| Abstract: | 本研究目的在於探討網路直播主的生涯適應歷程，採後現代敘事理論，了解網路直播主從選擇該職業的初始動機、工作內涵，與其中所遭遇的職涯困境，並探討在面臨困境的過程中，所呈現的因應方式，最終走向生涯適應的心路歷程。本研究採質性研究之敘說探究，運用半結構式的訪談大綱，立意取樣邀請3名受訪者進行深度訪談，透過研究者反覆閱讀文本，並以「整體－內容」的分析，建構故事文本重現其經驗，最後呈現受訪者生命敘事與其建構個人主觀世界的方式。
本研究整理3名在網路直播領域上擁有不同才藝的網路直播主，並藉由跨文本之綜合分析，整理出網路直播主生涯適應歷程，以及在不同階段中可能會出現的壓力、情緒困擾，以藉此提供專業助人工作者在面對此類群個案時，可以有參考的利基點。研究發現與結果如下：
一、網路直播主生涯適應歷程
研究者整理出網路直播主職涯發展歷程共經歷八個階段：1.探索期2.穩定期3.高峰期4.低潮期5.休播期6.回歸期7.再適應期8.斜槓期。網路直播主的職涯發展歷程其實正是一個不斷適應的歷程，這也符合後現代主義敘事取向生涯建構論的核心，生涯適應不再是一個固定、穩定的概念，而是一種不斷變化和演變的過程。
二、網路直播主職場困境及因應方式
研究者整理網路直播主之職場困境包含多元，最主要因素為該職業特性本身就需要負擔高度的情緒勞務，需要承接觀眾粉絲的情緒，而造成的情緒困擾包含：失落感、無力感、焦慮感、憂鬱及憤怒。研究發現，直播主呈現不良的因應方式為成癮與藥物依賴，而較好的因應方式則是進入休播期。
Adopting post-modern narrative theory, this study aims to explore how live streamers adapt to their careers. The researcher investigated the career development of live streamers, starting with an inquiry into the reasons that motivated them to become live streamers, the nature of their work, the challenges they face in their careers, their coping mechanisms for overcoming these challenges, and their strategies for adaptation. Employing narrative inquiry in qualitative research and conducting semi-structured interviews, the researcher purposively sampled three participants and conducted in-depth interviews. Through revisiting the interview transcripts, employing a holistic-content analysis, and reconstructing the life experiences of the participants, the researcher presents the life stories of the participants and constructs their subjective worlds.
This research recruited three live streamers who possess different talents, utilising cross textual analysis to examine their career adaptation process, as well the stress and emotional hurdles they may encounter at different stages of their careers. The aim of this study is to offer professional helpers a perspective from which they can provide assistance to live streamers. The findings are presented below:
1.Career Adaptation of Live Streamers
The researcher identified eight stages in the career development of live streamers: (1) exploration, (2) stability, (3) peak, (4) downturns, (5) breaks, (6) returns, (7) adaptation period (8) working as a “slash”. The career of live streamers evolves within this cycle of stages, aligning with the core principles of career construction theory established through post-modern narrative approaches: Career adaptation is no longer viewed as a static concept but rather as an ongoing process that continuously changes and evolves.
2.Workplace Dilemma and Coping Mechanisms of Live Streamers
The researcher observed various emotional hurdles that live streamers may encounter. The primary source of these emotional hurdles stems from the central aspect of their job, which involves managing the emotions of their fans. As a result, live streamers may experience a sense of loss, a lack of control, anxiety, distress and anger. The findings reveal a range of coping mechanisms adopted by live streamers, both positive and negative. Some individuals develop drug and substance dependencies, while others choose to take breaks from live streaming as a form of coping. |
