摘要

本文藉由問卷調查法，蒐集原住民族地區8個鄉（區）公所公務人員的問卷，以個人為分析單位，運用多變量統計方法，探究何種特質的公務人員會有較高的原住民族積極代表性。原住民族積極代表性是指公務人員在態度上會偏好有利於機關外部原住民與機關內部原住民員工的論點，並且在實際的決策與服務行為時，也會如此。經過統計後，本文發現：第一，原住民族公務人員確實比漢人公務人員具有較高的原住民族積極代表態度與行為。換言之，原住民族公務人員不僅態度上會比較關心、重視與支持原住民族議題（權益），在行為上亦是如此。第二，性別、年齡、政黨認同、原住民機關服務年資，以及原住民同事等因素也不同程度影響原住民族積極代表性。第三，基於Thompson（1976）社會氛圍影響官僚行為的論點，我們也發現當公務人員愈能感受外在行動者重視原住民議題時，會連帶使他們更關注、重視與支持原住民族相關議題。對此，本文進一步分析發現，原、漢公務人員對於當前政策環境是否有利於原住民的看法，存在著顯著差異。最後，基於研究發現提出討論。

Active representation of indigenous peoples is defined as public servants favoring content ions which benefit indigenous peoples both inside and outside of the agency, as well as acting in the policy interests of indigenous peoples when making decisions and providing services. This study examined what characteristics contribute to public servants' active representation of indigenous peoples. Using the individual as the unit of analyses, we conducted multivariate analyses on questionnaire data from public servants serving in 8 indigenous townships.The results showed that (a) indigenous public servants demonstrated higher levels of active representation of indigenous peoples in attitudes and behaviors compared to their Han counterparts, in other words, indigenous public servants not only cared more about, placed more emphasis on, and showed more support for issues (rights) of the indigenous peoples than Han public servants, but also acted in consistent with their attitudes; (b) a wide variety of factors in both individual and organizational levels, including sex, party identification, years of service in the indigenous organizations, and the experience of working with indigenous colleagues, exerted different impacts on active representation of indigenous people; and (c) the degree to which public servants cared about, laid emphasis on, and showed support for issues surrounding indigenous peoples was positively related to their perceived levels of external actors' attention paid to those issues, which was the main contribution of the study. Further analyses revealed that there were significant differences between indigenous and Han public servants' perspectives in whether the present policies arc advantageous to indigenous peoples Theoretical implications were discussed based on these findings.
