摘要

本研究目的在探討創造性問題解決訓練對研究績效的影響。以某國營機構106位研究員為受試者，依其參與方便性，分為三實驗組與一控制組。實驗組71位受試者分三梯次接受12時的創造性問題解決訓練及二次三時的追蹤訓練，控制組則未受訓。全部受試者皆參與前後測驗，各施予拓弄思圖形創造思考測驗及梅氏個人風格量表。過去三年平均研究報告數量、技術服務、期刊報告數量及年度考績作為衡量研究員未訓練前的研究績效標準，而訓練後一年的研究績效作為觀察訓練效果的依據。結果以實驗組前後測比較顯示，受試者在流暢力、應變力、獨創力皆較進步，且較傾向外向、直覺的思考型態。實驗組控制組後測的比較顯示，實驗組受試者在考績、年度報告、協同作者期刊論文、協同作者技術服務、技術服務總和皆比控制組受試者的後測佳，而訓練至後測時間的長短會影響訓練的效果。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Creative Problem Solving training(CPS)on R & D performance. One hundred and six R & D workers of a large government-owned manufacturing company in Taiwan participated in the study. Seventy-one of them were divided into three groups and received 12 hours of CPS training and two 3-hours follow-ups over one-year period in a time-series design. The remaining 35 subjects serves as the control. All subjects were administered the Circle Test of the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking, and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicators before and after the CPS training. R & D performance in terms of averaged numbers of annual research reports, technical services, and published papers and performance rating three years before the CPS and one year after the CPS training were compared. Result showed that subject in all experimental groups showed higher fluency, flexibility, and originality, in thinking, and become more extroverted, intuitive in cognitive type after training. In terms of R & D performance, experimental groups outperformed the control group in performance rating number of annual reports, number of technical services, and number of co-authored published papers. The time lag between the CPS and the posttest was also a factor contribution to the training effects.
