Develop an instrument for measuring money attitude of information professionals through this research because there is no any existing tool to measure this issue in Taiwan up to now. This research is to create an instrument based on MAS of Yamauchi and Templer in order to precisely measure the money attitude of information professionals in Taiwan. This instrument can provide a good reference of career development, training, education and promotion of relative people or organization in the future. This research is focus on information professionals and we get 160 feedbacks of total 200 surveys. There are 152 effective samples after discarding 8 invalid samples and total effective return rate is 76%. This research use “item to total correlations”, “Cronbach’s α”, “factor analysis”, “MTMM” to enhance the instrument analysis capability of precision, reliablilty and efficacy. We extract 5 factors and 26 items of money attitude after result analysis. Our instrument is highly reliable because its’ overall “Cronbach’s α” is 0.835 and average value of factor is between 0.701 and 0.865. Our instrument has “onvergent validity” because relative coefficient is not equal to 0 and reach 0.01 based on different variables of same factor. Our instrument has “discriminant validity”. We observe that: 1. Information professionals didn’t agree using money to influence other people and treating money as a sign of success. 2. Information professionals didn’t make careful financial planning for the future. 3. Information professionals didn’t distrust spending money. 4. Information professionals didn’t beleve that money can get better product quality or service. 5. Information professionals treat money as the source of anxiety but they also didn’t agree enough money can avoid anxiety.
