| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 犯罪學研究所 === 99 === This study explores the factors of police discipline in the police stations of metropolitan areas. As discipline is a vague concept and subsumes a wide range, to facilitate the subsequent statistical analysis and present research, “reward points” was used to represent the discipline to achieve clarity. Based on the relevant literature, the three variances of the police stations include the “environmental features (composed of three sub-tests of the neighborhood atmosphere, persuasion pressure, and domain area complex), organizational features (com-posed of three sub-tests of control factors, competition factors, and cognition factors), and the role of shame (composed of four sub-tests of consensus feeling, morality, image, and sense of self).” In addition to examining these three variances, the researcher believes from practical experience that the afore-disclosed variances have a significant impact on the “reward points.” Thus, the “reward points” variance represents the discipline points to explore the environ-mental features, organizational features, and the role of shame (including the sub-tests) and the relationships of impact between them. The results of the empirical analysis are used to test this study’s hypothesis.
In this study, the police stations was used as the sample; a total of 2,777 survey ques-tionnaires were distributed, and 2,588 were recovered, accounting for a recovery rate of 92%. After collation, a total of 1,764 valid questionnaires were included in the statistics for t-test and one-way ANOVA, factor analysis, and multiple regression and path analysis.
The results showed the following: (1) Environmental features have a direct impact on the organizational features. (2) Of the overall variances for the police to obtain awards, only the role of shame has a direct impact, and the environmental features and organizational features have no direct impact; in the sub-tests of the variances, only a direct impact is shown on the neighborhood atmosphere, persuasion pressure of environmental features, and the consensus sense, morality, image and sense of self in the role of shame. (3) And of the overall variances for police to receive punishment, only organizational features have a direct impact, and envi-ronmental features and the role of shame have no direct impact; in the sub-tests of each va-riance, only the neighborhood atmosphere of environmental features and the cohesion of or-ganizational features have a direct impact.
The analysis of the different control variances uncovered the following findings: (1) Po-licemen, more than policewomen, attach a significantly higher degree of importance on mo-rality and image. (2) From the point of view of the post, the neighborhood atmosphere, persu-asion pressure, supervision factors, and competition factors have an impact on the police who served in non-competent positions; and the cohesion factors and sense of consensus, morality, image and sense of self have an impact on those who served in competent positions. As to obtaining rewards and punishments, both have an impact. (3) From the age point of view, the neighborhood atmosphere and supervision factors have an impact to those between 30 to 42 years of age; the image has an impact on those between 43 to 49 years of age; the attainment of rewards and punishments have an impact on those between 37 to 42 years of age; whereas obtaining rewards has an impact on those between 37 to 42 years of age significantly higher than those between 31 to 36 years of age. (4) From the education attainment point of view, the supervision factors have an impact on those on the basic special team. Morality has an impact on police with a university degree (including master’s and higher). The image and sense of self have an impact on police with a diploma of police college or university degree (including master’s and higher), but the impact of the sense of self on those with a Police University degree (including master’s and higher) is higher than on those with a diploma of police college. As for the attainment of the rewards and punishments, there is an impact on those with education attainment of police college or Police University (including master’s and higher). (5) From the point of view of years of service, the neighborhood atmosphere and persuasion pressure have an impact of 3 to 15 years of service, the supervision factors have an impact of 3 to 9 years of service, and morality, image and sense of self have an impact of more than 15 years of service. As for obtaining rewards, it impacts those who served for 3 to 15 years or more, whereas 9 to 15 years were significantly higher than the 3 to 9 years, and to receive punishment impacts those between 3 years and 15 years, and over 9 years.
Finally, this study puts forward the following suggestions: 1. In the overall results, the various police agencies should (1) carefully assess the external environmental conditions that may affect the organization and police; (2) strengthen the organizational culture and atmos-phere to improve the timely and positive encouragement; and (3) strengthen the concept of shame and morality and the inculcation and education of awareness. 2. For policing, the future should be oriented towards the following reforms: (1) The overall environment level should (a) establish the role of police work and maintain the police system; and (b) ensure the defiance of a powerful pressure and maintain firm neutrality; (2) In the overall organizational level (a) the chief officer should set himself as a good example; (b) demonstrate mutual concern instead of supervision, to learn from each other; (c) attach importance to the organization to develop an internal culture; (d) verify rewards and punishments and pay equal attention to supervision and guidance; and (e) review and improve the project; (3) In the level of the role of shame, it should (a) strengthen the self-rule and improve self-control; (b) strengthen ethics education to enhance moral awareness; and (c) strengthen the rule of law education to enhance the rule of law concept.
