Employees who born in the 1990 s and 2000 s are gradually joining the workforce.These newcomers want more recognition.They want to do meaningful,non-boring tasks and look forward to growing and succeeding in their jobs.Organizations also have higher requirements for these new employees.Organizations expect them to be prepared before entering the workplace: having more internship experience,learning actively,integrating into the organizations faster,and having the best performance.These are crucial to maintaining the companies’ continued competitiveness and development.Based on the complexity of individual development,organizational needs and the overall business environment,internships are characterized by continuous advance of time,continuous enrichment of content and more diverse forms.How does internship experience affect work performance? This has aroused the academic community’s concern.This paper integrates internship experience,work performance and other related theories.This paper constructs a research model through theoretical derivation,introduces career identity as a mediating variable,and discusses the mechanism of internship experience on work performance.Through theoretical analysis,live interview,expert evaluation and other methods,this paper forms a preliminary scale.After the prediction,item analysis,reliability analysis and validity analysis,this paper forms a formal scale.Through empirical analysis,the significant conclusions shows that: First,internship of newcomers has a positive impact on work performance.The environmental characteristics of internship have a stronger impact on task performance and relationship performance than the work characteristics of internship,but has a weaker impact on adaptation performance than the work characteristics of internship.Second,internship has a positive impact on career identity.The work characteristics of internship has the strongest positive impact on career identity,followed by the environmental characteristics of internship.Meanwhile career identity has incomplete mediating effect in the relationship of newcomers’ internship and work performance.Based on the research conclusion and the internship status of newcomers,this paper puts forward specific management suggestions for newcomers and enterprises from different perspectives.Newcomers should attach importance to internship and establish the consciousness of career planning.Newcomers should take internship as an important part of their career exploration and devote themselves into it building themselves into high-quality and compound talents and improve their performance.For enterprises,interns are potential human resources.Scientific and institutionalized arrangements for internships can also effectively convey the corporate image and provide a basis for recruiting more talents.
