Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄海洋科技大學 === 航運管理研究所 === 96 === Currently, the manpower policy of military focuses on Voluntarism in Taiwan. The Navy
recruited the volunteer soldiers from 3 year ago, whose contract are going to be due recently. For
saving training costs, how to continue those volunteers in military for more years is an important issue
that military manager should consider. The purpose of this research is to discuss the factors to affect
turnover of volunteer soldiers, which include internal work satisfaction, organizational commitment
and external environment. As an empirical study, 357 Navy volunteer soldiers from sections of naval
vessel, land technique, marine crops and educational training were sampled to validate the research
model. The results indicate that the external environment has the most significant effect on soldier
turnover, which includes 3 dimensions: work development, social impression and spouse attitudes.
Furthermore, internal work satisfaction and organizational commitment also have significant effect on
soldier turnover. For the effects of demographic, the results indicate that department characteristic has
the most significant effects, and followed by the sources of new recruits. The results can provide
practical information for Navy to keep excellent volunteer soldiers in military, and as a result to reduce
training cost.
