Conceptualization of calling The extant literature offers three perspectives on calling: the classical, modern, and neoclassical perspectives (Dobrow & Tosti-Kharas, 2011; Ponton, Brown, McDonnell, Clark, ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Running head: EFFECTS OF CALLING ON OCBO AND JOB SATISFACTION 5 Pepe, & Deykerhoff, 2014). Various scholars have recently noted that the neoclassical perspective offers the best account of calling (Conway et al., 2015; Duffy et al., 2015; Ponton et al., 2014). Accordingly, we followed the neoclassical perspective and defined calling as “transcendent summons, experienced as originating beyond the self, to approach a particular life-role in a manner oriented toward demonstrating or deriving a sense of purpose or meaningfulness and that holds other-oriented values and goals as primary sources of motivation” (Dik & Duffy, 2009, p. 427). As the present study is situated in China, it is worth noting that the neoclassical approach to calling has been supported in both a qualitative study (Zhang, Dik, Wei, & Zhang, 2015) and a measurement study (Zhang, Herrmann, Hirschi, Wei, & Zhang, 2015) with Chinese college student.
