本研究的主要目的是以工作價值觀為中心主軸,向前探究可能與工作價值觀有關聯的背景變項,包括人口學及工作經驗變項;再向後討論與工作價值觀相關的工作後果變項,如工作滿足與組織承諾。本研究使用「台灣社會變遷基本調查計劃(Taiwan Social Change Survey, TSCS)」2005年的問卷調查主題--「工作與生活題組」第五期第一次問卷調查資料之全國性樣本調查結果做為研究對象,問卷樣本人數為2171人。 研究結果顯示,工作價值觀可再細分成內、外在兩類工作價值觀。在人口學變項中的年齡、教育程度、婚姻狀態、社會地位,及工作經驗變項的年資和職位等因素分群之下,各個群體間所重視的工作價值觀有著顯著差異。另外,工作滿足與組織承諾皆與外在工作價值觀呈現顯著負向關聯,而與內在工作價值觀呈現顯著正向關聯。
The main focus of this study was work values. One theme was to explore the associations between work values and personal background variables, including demographic and work-related variables; another one was to explore the relationships between work values and work-outcome variables, such as job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The analyses were based on data from the 2005 Taiwan Social Change Survey (TSCS), which had a nationwide representative sample of 2171 individuals. According to factor analysis, work values could be further subdivided into two types: extrinsic and intrinsic work values. Furthermore, the results showed that different groups basing on characteristics, such as age, educational, marriage status, social status, tenure and position had significantly different preferences of work values. In addition, job satisfaction and organizational commitment had significantly negative relationships with extrinsic work values, but positive ones with intrinsic work values.
