碩士 === 國防管理學院 === 國防決策科學研究所 === 94 === The current researches on job satisfaction (JS) focus on independent facets affecting JS mainly among three domains: individual, work itself, and work environment. Ignoring social interaction and lacking contextual comparison may cause confusing antecedents and incomplete interpretations of JS. In this article we highlight JS on civil service (N＝147) in Ministry of National Defense through a systematized framework of antecedents. In this framework, we integrated variables at three levels: organization, social interaction, and individual. Interviews, survey, and statistics were applied. The results demonstrate social interaction level reach a crucial R Square value(.673) and variables(Leadership, decision-making participation , cohesion, interpersonal relations, and mentor) within social interaction level are significantly positive correlative to JS (r=.59－.72, P＜.05). Additionally, the results also show statistically significant effects of leadership, decision-making participation, and interpersonal relations (β=.179－.362, p＜.05). The findings fill in a gap in the current job satisfaction researches. The work-related variable and justice variable are still major influential antecedents. We discuss demographics differences and present implications of the findings and suggestions for future research.
