The purpose of this research is to explore the gender difference on sex roles issues among Taiwanese military officials. We expect the research would benefit the gender equality policy in the military and would therefore reduce job conflicts and enhance a much better gender relationship in military. Data are from 12 high ranking military officials. We conducted in depth interviews and the respondents were asked to review their personal experience on sex role relationships, career developments and experience on possible sexual harassments. The research found differences on family and occupational perceptions, sexual roles, and uncertainty of their discipline violations. The research also found that the human relationships still play crucial factors concerning the possibility of promotions. Moreover, there is an unfair practice on the military promotion particular on the rank of the military generals. Thirdly, the research found that sexual harassment among military officers could exercise an important influence on one’s career developments along with other benefits as a military officer. The research also suggests a couple of possible policies based on the findings here for the military so that better relationships between male and female officers could be reached.
Key-words: sex roles, gender relationship, career development, sexual harassment, and glass ceiling effect.
