第五章 結論與建議
第四節 研究限制與對未來研究的建議
一、本研究有下列幾點的限制:
(一) 本研究詢問管理者是否致力於反功能行為,因涉及個人道德規範的認 知,可能導致受訪者的資料失真,雖然本研究透過匿名的填答方式,
希望能降低資料失真的程度,但仍不可避免會有這個問題。除此,由 於採問卷調查方式進行,資料的收集受到此方法的限制。
(二) 雖然本研究就三個反功能行為進行探討,但可能同時尚有其他的反功 能行為的出現但卻未被納入探討。
(三) 本研究變數間因果關係的方向性乃根據相關理論與文獻資料而建 立,甚至依據推論而得,實證結果只能驗證各個變數間關係的方向性 與理論假設是否一致,無法決定相關變數的因果關係。
(四) 本研究電子產業的樣本數過低,可能導致模型參數的不穩定。
二、對於後續研究者的建議:
(一) 本研究以過去績效、關懷領導型態以及知覺環境不確定性作為預測因 子,探討對反功能行為的作用。然而,反功能行為就短期而言是反功 能,但長期是否是反功能?有賴長期的觀察。因此本研究建議作縱向 構面的關係探討,亦可採質性的研究方法加以進行。
(二) 如同本研究於研究限制所言,本研究僅就三個反功能行為進行探討,
後續研究者可將其他形式的反功能行為納入討論。且,影響預算控制 制度的形式與實行尚有其他外生變數,後續研究者可在理論基礎下進 行其他因子影響情形之探討。
