越南籍配偶在台創業前後人際關係之探討

本研究取樣新北市三重區十二位越南籍女性配偶進行訪談，探討她們在台生活適應，及其創業前後人際網絡之發展，以期更瞭解她們在日常生活中如何建立人際關係。研究結果顯示：越南籍配偶開始拓展其人際網絡，多從中文識字班、附近鄰居，或夫家成員，較無機會與外界接觸，故人際網絡拓展不佳。越南籍女性配偶自行創業增加經濟收入，除具自信外，亦提升在夫家的地位，且對外接觸的人際面更為寬廣，對她們在台的生活適應有實質上的幫助。她們面臨到的困境包含尋找店面、營運成本考量、符合當地人口味，及語言溝通，但皆能樂觀積極面對並尋求友人協助以度過難關。「勤快」與「真誠待人」是鄰居和顧客對越南籍女性創業者的看法。其生活圈不再侷限於同鄉友人，而是融入當地生活、接受多元文化，並敞開心胸與跨越族群交往，故微型創業對人際網絡開展實有助益。
