本研究衍伸Edwards(1991)個人與工作契合之需求與供給概念,探討工作者之工作價值觀與工作現況之間是否存在不契合之情況,並進一步討論工作價值不契合對個人之工作態度的關聯。本研究依據Super(1970)「工作價值觀量表」及其他學者的相關建構,將工作價值觀分為七個項目:工作保障、高收入、升遷機會、工作有趣、工作獨立、可幫助人與回饋社會,以自陳式量表方式施測。研究資料來自「台灣社會變遷基本調查」計劃,選取1,122位全職工作者為分析對象。主要研究結果為:1.工作價值觀與工作現況間之落差,對工作滿足、組織承諾、離職傾向具有解釋力。2.個別預測因子為:(1)保障落差、收入落差、升遷落差與有趣落差可預測工作滿足。(2)保障落差、收入落差、有趣落差與助人落差可預測組織承諾。(3)保障落差、升遷落差、有趣落差與回饋落差可預測離職傾向。
The purpose of the study is two-fold: to describe psychological preferences of job characteristics among Taiwanese employees; to examine the effects of lack of fit between personal preferences and actual job characteristics on employees' work attitudes and life satisfaction. Our analyses were based on data from 2005 Taiwan Social Change Survey (TSCS), using nationwide representative sample of 1,122 individuals with full-time jobs. Both personal preferences and actual job characteristics were measured basing on Super's (1970) Work Values Scale, including seven dimensions: job security, income, promotion, interesting work, independence, helping people, and benefiting the society. Main findings are as below: 1. Overall lack of fit between personal preferences and actual job characteristics has negatively related to employees' job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and positively related to employees' turnover intention.2. Lack of fit between personal preferences and actual job characteristics along dimensions of job security, income, promotion, and interesting work predicted employees' job satisfaction; those along dimensions of job security, income, interesting work and helping people predicted employees' organizational commitment; those along dimensions of job security, promotion, interesting work and benefiting the society predicted employees' turnover intention.
