過去學者與業界對於發展主管管理職能往往強調由組織主導一套完善的管理發展活動,達到提升管理職能與工作績效之目的,而忽略個體自發性學習活動的價值。本研究主要探討主管自我導向學習對管理職能與工作績效的影響,同時以組織支持的角度探討組織在此過程中扮演的角色。本研究以來自不同產業之200位中階主管為研究對象,經干擾結構方程式模式檢驗後發現,自我導向學習、知覺組織支持以及兩者之交互效果能夠顯著提升主管之管理職能,進而增進工作績效。本研究結果顯示雖然管理職能的發展與工作績效能由主管自我導向學習達成,並與組織正式訓練達到相同的效果,組織對主管管理職能發展之支持亦是不可或缺的推手。
Prior literature on human resource development have put more emphasis on the dominant role that organization plays in need-identifying and planning a set of training and development projects to enhance managers' managerial competency, while ignoring the effect of self-directed learning in the workplace. The study analyzed 200 middle-managers with moderated structural equation modeling (MSE). Results showed that self-directed learning readiness of managers have significant interactive effect with perceived organizational support on managerial competency, and in turn have positive effect of managers' performance. Theoretical and practical implications are further discussed.
