摘要
領導是管理的五大功能之一，因此各企業與研究學者都希望找到最適合的領導風格，但真的有一種風格可以領導不同世代的員工嗎？2017年Z世代的人數已佔全球人口的25%，面對如此龐大的人口數，領導者要使用何種領導風格來帶領這群陸續進入職場的新世代，才可以增加留任率減少人才成本耗損，因此，本研究探討不同人格特質的Z世代員工對領導風格之偏好，及在不同性別及有無工作經驗之人才偏好領導風格是否有差異性。 本研究採取「重視個人表達」、「強調獨特性」、「相信面對面溝通的重要性」、「善用網路和新科技」、「靈活創新的頭腦」、「務實精明」、「工作/生活平衡」這些Z世代的人格特質，深入分析其偏好領導風格。以18歲到27歲之Z世代人才發放260份問卷，運用SPSS軟體進行信度分析、相關分析、獨立樣本T檢定以及迴歸分析等統計分析工具，進行資料分析與探討變數之間的相關性。 研究結果顯示，Z世代特質對偏好之領導風格有顯著影響；Z世代較偏好之領導風格為：「教練式」、「權威式」以及「前導式」；本研究再針對性別做分析探討，根據結果建議針對女性Z世代員工使用「權威式」、「協調式」及「教練式」領導風格，而可針對男性Z世代員工使用「權威式」及「教練式」領導風格，再根據任務與情境切換使用相應之領導風格。此研究之結果將有助於領導者帶領部屬時參考，亦可提供人資單位之育才留才之參考。
