Description
Summary:碩士 === 長榮大學 === 企業管理學系碩士班 === 99 === Along with changes of the time, advanced information and diversified contacts, modern people are not disturbed about having insufficient food and clothing any more. Moreover, low birth rate makes “Trend of Fewer Children” more and more obvious. Therefore, post-80s are pampered and spoiled; their personalities and values are significantly different from previous students of fifth and sixth grades. Consequently, post-80s workers have become the most popular topic nowadays. In addition, they don’t sufficiently understand their selves, characteristics and work value, so they are not suitable for current job and their work performances are influenced. Enneagram, a new tool for measuring personality traits, has come into existence and been adopted in many advanced countries and well-known group companies worldwide for recent years. In educational circle, some celebrated schools such as Stanford University, Harvard University and National Tsing Hua University in Beijing all offer courses relevant to Enneagram. Therefore, this study uses Enneagram to investigate relevance between Enneagram and work value, as well as further look into current post-80s workers’ work value and thoughts. This paper makes a study of 26 post-80s workers by means of qualitative interview, and summarizes following findings after analysis: (1) Different types of post-80s workers have different work values in terms of growth, respect and interpersonal relationship. (2)Presently, most post-80s workers are inclined to ask others and request other’s help when they meet difficulties in job. (3)Concerning working environment, most post-80s workers favor diversified job. (4) Confronted with the problem of job-hopping, post-80s workers mostly choose original job because they value interpersonal relationship. (5)The ratio of post-80s workers is higher than pre-80s workers among people who have the second-type (The Helper), seventh-type (The Enthusiast) and ninth-type (The Peacemaker) character. (6) Post-80s workers account for a low ratio in people with the first-type (The Reformer), third-type (The Achiever) and eighth-type (i.e. The Challenger) character.
