摘要

對忙碌的現代人來說，時常必須面對強大的工作壓力，而對營建工作者來說不僅要面對工作壓力，更需要消耗龐大的體力，也因此提神飲料在營建業中成為人人愛不釋手的飲料(例如：保力達B、維士比)，此類提神飲料之飲用，不論是在施工現場或是電視廣告上，均可看見營建工作者對於此類飲料飲用的熱愛，然而此類提神飲料飲用後對於個人身心狀態上是否真的能產生一定的變化及其影響性，繼而使勞工提高生產力增加工作效率。是一個值得研究的課題。
　　針對上述課題，本研究探討營建工作者在飲用此類提神飲料後對於個人身體上的變化，以及營建工作者特別偏愛此類提神飲料的心理成因。本研究採用最直接的量測方式，量測一般營建工作者在飲用前後的工作生產力之差異，並將結果紀錄比較，來確認此類提神飲料對營建工作者是否能確實提高工作生產力，本研究以油漆工及泥作工為主要研究對象，將分別量測飲用前與飲用後之每小時所能生產之數量，搭配使用酒精濃度測試儀器，測試營建工作者於飲用此類提神飲料後，其體內的酒精濃度之變化，最後採用問卷調查及訪談的方式來瞭解一般營建工作者對於此類提神飲料的認知，瞭解營建工作者是否清楚此類提神飲料為一種藥品而非飲料，需要適度的飲用而不能過量，及瞭解一般飲用此類提神飲料的原因是否因為成癮性及其他心理因素，或是飲用此類提神飲料能確實提高工作效率繼而提升工作生產力。生產力結果顯示，12位受測者中，僅2位受測者於飲用提神飲料後，其生產力有提升之趨勢；問卷調查結果顯示，多數人都認為提神飲料有成癮性，但不飲用亦不會對工作造成影響，且都清楚知道提神飲料屬於藥品而非飲料。

Modern people are usually obliged to face great pressure at work while construction workers not only have to face such pressure but also have to consume extensive physical strength. As a result, energy drinks (e.g. Paolyta B, Whisbih, etc.) have been favored by almost everyone in the construction industry. It can be seen both at construction sites and from TV commercials that construction workers are enthusiastic over such drinks. Nevertheless, it is an issue worth being explored to find out if having such energy drinks could substantially produce certain changes and bring some impacts to construction workers in order to enhance their productivity and boost their efficiency at work.
Based on the above issue, this study attempts to discuss physical changes after construction workers drink energy drinks and find out the psychological reasons why they particularly prefer such energy drinks. The most direct measuring method was adopted in the study. The productivity of construction workers before and after having energy drinks was measured so as to compare the recorded results and observe related differences. By doing so, we could confirm if such energy drinks could substantially improve construction workers’ productivity during operations. Painters and cement workers were the major objects being studied. The productivity of the objects before and after drinking was measured by hour. Meanwhile, the alcohol breath tester was used to observe the variations of alcohol concentration inside the objects’ bodies after drinking. Finally, surveys and interviews were carried out to find out what construction workers know about energy drinks. This was to examine if construction workers realized that energy drinks were actually medicine, not a drink. It involved a moderate way of drinking instead of overdrinking. At the same time, it was to find out if having energy drinks was caused by addiction and other psychological factors or by the fact that work efficiency and productivity were practically enhanced. According to the results on productivity obtained in this study, only 2 out of 12 objects showed improved productivity after having energy drinks. The results from the surveys suggested that most workers knew energy drinks came with the problem of addiction and there was no impact on work efficiency without drinking them. In addition, they were aware that energy drinks were indeed medicine rather than a drink.
