面對科技日益進步及競爭激烈的時代,資訊人員(IS/IT professionals)已成為企業組織不可或缺的人員,他們關係著企業組織的核心技術與存亡。再者,為了使工作更有效率,許多企業組織已改變其運作型態,將工作任務以專案的方式來執行。然而,專案管理(project management)若要成功最重要的除了團隊成員(team members)的專業技術之外,尚須有良好的溝通能力(communication competence)以便能與顧客/使用者協商。假使專案成員未能具有良好的溝通能力,則事件訊息就無法正確且有效的傳達,相對就會增加其專案成功的困難度。因此,本研究旨在探討專案管理中資訊人員之溝通能力,以及溝通能力對溝通效能(communication effectiveness)有何影響。本研究對象為專案中的資訊人員及其顧客/使用者,採一對一配對問卷的方式進行。研究方法利用PLS路徑分析來完成問卷信效度和假設考驗的驗證,再進行成對樣本的T檢定(資訊人員樣本vs. 顧客/使用者樣本)。研究結果顯示專案中資訊人員之溝通能力,包括溝通沉著度、溝通清晰度、溝通認同度和溝通機智度會顯著正向影響溝通效能,而資訊人員自我評估之溝通能力及溝通效能有顯著高於顧客/使用者之評估。根據本研究的結論提出對企業組織溝通層面的相關建議,以供資訊主管、專案資訊人員和顧客/使用者參考。
