第五章、 結論與建議

第二節、 管理意涵與建議

一、管理意涵與討論

2012 年 Yahoo 新任女性執行長由原 Google 副執行長Marissa Ann Mayer轉任 後,號稱 Google 第一美女的她,為挽救 Yahoo 悲慘的財報與低靡的士氣,大刀 闊斧針對其組織內部工作型態及環境汰舊換新。她特別強調工作環境中互相協助、

扶持等相依的效果對於工作表現具有正面的結果,也因為其強硬的作風推動政策,

為正在每況愈下的 Yahoo 帶來了一線契機。而台灣企業也面對資訊科技的快速 發展、工作日趨複雜、專業技術更迭及全球化的挑戰與衝擊下,過去傳統體制的

61

組織已經無法面對這股環境的丕變與趨勢。管理者已意識到目前組織內工作的內 容日趨繁重,完成任務需要不同的專業技能、思維判斷與過往經驗,更加強調高 度分工協調的特性,工作的任務已無法單就個人的力量來獨自完成。而組織內的 成員合作與支持,也使得日趨繁雜及專業化分工化的工作環境更顯得井然有序。

透過本研究的結論可知,工作相依性對於工作滿意度的表現具有正向且顯 著的預測力,對於自我效能而言,亦具有正向的影響。工作相依的特性通常是依 據職位特性、公司文化、發展方針、工作環境、工作技能等既定的工作條件而擬 定,因此員工的工作相依較不易依照個人改變或調整。面對工作環境整體的調整 過程中,原本獨立的工作內容轉變為互相依賴的工作內容,對於組織必然會有不 小的衝擊,組織必須經過一個長期的動態調整,使得工作內容產生更佳的配適程 度。根據本研究結論表示,組織在員工可達成的範圍內,將一份工作任務分配至 不同員工中,有助於提升其工作中的表現,員工在工作中溝通協調的過程中,投 入更多努力解決原本認為困難的任務,對於工作任務的肯定態度,使得其工作滿 意度隨之而提升。因此本研究認為,組織中可透過適度的提高工作中相依的程度,

而提升員工之工作滿意度。

另外從研究中結論亦得知,自我效能除了以工作相依為正向的預測變項外,

也對於工作滿意度具有正向的預測力,因此本研究為組織中可透過提高員工的自 我效能,使員工更有信心去面對工作上未知的挑戰,進而提升其工作滿意度。本 研究認為(1)在工作上適時給員工正向的回饋及鼓勵。(2)公開表揚績效卓越及拔 擢自我成長優異的員工。(3)建立工作中的典範及標竿學習。(4)透過人力資源的 教育訓練引領員工正向面對逆境的態度。

本研究的結果也顯示,工作複雜度對於工作相依性與自我效能及工作相依性 與工作滿意度之間具有正向的調節效果,表示員工在面對高度複雜的環境下,工 作相依程度較高的員工,反而擁有更好的表現,具有更佳的自信面對困難,產生 較高的工作滿意度。因為在高度的工作複雜環境中,員工在相對高度的相依工作

62

環境下,面對問題不再是一個人獨力承擔解決,而是由團隊中不同成員來分擔工 作,承受與調節自己的心態也相對較為正面,對於工作滿意度的表現也隨之而上 升。因此,本研究建議,在具有高度複雜的工作環境中,應該使得員工彼此之間 的工作具有相互依賴的效果,透過提高工作相依性,可使得員工的自信心與工作 滿意度提高。

本研究亦發現,社會支持具有正向調節自我效能與工作滿意度的影響,表示 員工在高度的社會支持下,本身具有高度自信心的員工對於其工作滿意度也會劇 烈加強。因為員工本身在肯定自己的情況下,又得到來自主管、朋友、部屬及同 事間的讚賞與支持下,對於其本身信心會隨之而大量增加,使得其工作滿意度上 升更為明顯。因此,本研究建議,在面對具有高度自信心的員工身上,給予適當 的肯定與輔助,員工對於其工作滿意度上升會來的更為明顯,也可以給組織帶來 正向的助益。

二、研究限制與建議

本研究對象在樣本取樣上,發現不同行業具有不同的趨勢與行為,例如:

男性多聚集在科技領域,而女性大多在教育學術領域。而本身在不同領域及不同 性別下,面對之挑戰及處理方式皆有所不同。另外,工作相依性大量存在於科技 產業之中,在教育業則是相對鮮少許多。雖然本研究在產業別處理上採取綜觀之 視野進行討論。但根據研究結果,本研究認為未來若是將研究聚焦在特定產業上 討論,對於工作相依性的重要性而言,會提高更多,使得研究完整度更高。

另外,回顧以往的文獻,對於工作相依性型態評估,其評估準則有限,在科 技變化迅速的世代中,新型態的科技隨時汰換著舊有的工作型態,工作相依的型 態亦變動劇烈,如何衡量科技帶來新形態相依效果更是下一個必須要關注的議題,

也是之後研究中要加入考量的問題。例如:遠端工作之工作相依性效果等。

本研究的樣本數雖然有六百筆,但現職工作者年齡集中於 20 至 30 歲之間,

63

且有近九成的工作者是單身未婚,僅有 6.5%的員工位居於管理階層。此也是本 研究的一大限制之一,故也期待後續的研究能夠突破此困境,力求研究之完善。
