摘要 Internships are commonly used by firms for training and recruiting talents. Yet, research overlooks which factors are influential in job acceptance for interns. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship of influencing factors such as task goal clarity, autonomy, mentorship and learning to job acceptance of interns after an internship program. A total of 150 copies of questionnaires were distributed online among university and graduate school students in Taiwan. 120 questionnaires were returned. The statistical methods used in this study were reliability test, descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis. Based from the results shown, it was found that task goal clarity and mentorships influences the learning of interns. Furthermore, autonomy affects the relationship of task goal clarity and learning. The relationship of task goal clarity and learning is expected to be stronger when autonomy is high and weaker when it is low. Lastly, learning influences the willingness of job acceptance. The recommendations from the conclusions are proposed as references for relevant organizations and future studies

Keywords: task goal clarity, mentorship, autonomy, learning, job acceptance, internships
