職業選擇就個人而言,是進入工作市場並在工作分類中選擇自己偏好的態度或行動。是以,當農民在進行繼續務農或離農之職業選擇之時,會受在社會化歷程中所形塑之工作價值觀和個體特質所影響而在工作領域中展露出不同的工作態度,並依此深化個人的職業承諾或醞釀離職意念。因價值觀是態度的內在支持系統,而行為則是態度的具體投射,是以為瞭解現今鄉村青年農民留農或離農的意向,本研究以工作價值觀、工作滿足、工作投入以及個體社會人口特徵等變項為主要分析概念,藉以檢視在價值變遷之際,青年農民選擇繼續以農為業之意向及原因,以勾勒出台灣青年農民之農業工作選擇機制,裨於後續相關研究。 為達上述研究目的,本研究使用民國96年度農委會『農外移入及回流青年農民農業經營之輔導策略研究』之調查問卷為分析資料來源,有效樣本共計263份。採取多元邏輯迴歸分析(Multinomial Logistic Regression)作為主要的統計分析方法。 研究結果發現,工作價值觀、工作滿足、工作投入,以及教育程度、農業接觸經驗、家人支持程度等個體特質,均對鄉村青年農民是否願意繼續從農有顯著影響。意即,具有留農意願之農民,其本身除具有教育程度較低、農業接觸經驗較少以及家人支持等基本特性外,與意圖離農者相比,亦較不重視工作組織本身之價值,因此在個人工作價值觀與工作特質適配程度良好的情況下,對農業工作之評價較高而得以展現較高的投入程度及滿意度,因此願意選擇繼續以農為業。
Vocational choice is how an individual chooses to enter career market and their preferred attitude or action within the career category. When farmers are deciding whether to staying farm or exiting farm; influential factors include working values and individual features which are formed through out socialization. Thus they demonstrate different working attitude in their jobs, and accordingly deepen the personal work commitments or incubate the idea of turnover. The value is the inner support system of attitude, as the behavior is the substantial project of attitude, therefore the major concept of this analysis towards the intentions of staying farm and leaving farm of current young farmers in the country is based on the variables of working value, job satisfactions, job involvement and individual’s social features, in order to examine as the value change, the reason why young farmers intend to choose to stay farm, and describe the career selection machinery to benefit the latter related researches. In order to achieve the research purpose mentioned above, this study applied the data collected from questionnaires of“A research on the extension strategies of agricultural management for in- and return migrant young farmers” which composed by Council of Agriculture in 2007, the total effective samples are 263. The major statistic analysis adopted multinomial logistic regression method. The research result showed that working value, job satisfactions, job involvement, educational level, pervious agricultural experiences, family support, and individual features all have significant influences on whether rural young farmer are willing to stay farm. Which indicated that most of the farmers intending to stay have the basic characters of lower educational levels, less pervious agricultural experiences, and strong family supports, when comparing with those who exiting farm, the former group pays less attentions to organizational values. Therefore when personal working value and career qualities are more compatible to one, they value agricultural jobs higher, contribute more toward work and gain more satisfactions, hence willing to stay farm.
