直銷事業在台灣已發展許多,然而,直銷事業的社會觀感及民眾參與意願為何,是否會影響民眾加入直銷事業的動機,此為本研究擬探討之議題。本研究以一般民眾為研究對象進行相關問卷調查,並採用因素分析、變異數分析及迴歸分析等資料分析方法。本研究的結果發現:1.自我能力的養成及附加價值的追求是主要影響民眾加入直銷事業的重要動機因素。2.民眾對於直銷事業的參與意願略偏低。3.民眾對於直銷事業的社會觀感尚屬正向。4.民眾對直銷的觀感為影響加入直銷的意願。5.中高齡的女性加入直銷的意願較高。6.已婚、工作年資愈長且月平均收入愈高者對直銷的觀感愈好,但參與意願均不高。最後,本研究提出一些具體建議,期能有助於直銷事業招募更多新血輪。
