碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 科技應用與人力資源發展學系人力資源碩士在職進修專班 === 101 === The Council for Economic Planning and Development of Executive Yuan has launched the major policy of “Innovation Openness and Structural Adjustment to Launch Taiwan’s Golden Decade,” where eight main visions (Vigorous Economy, Just Society, Clean and Competent Government, Prime Culture and Education, Sustainable Environment, Comprehensive Development, Cross Strait Peace, and International Amity) are revealed in this policy. The primary achievements of the eight main visions are all related to innovation in development. As we can see, innovation is not only to breakthrough difficult business development, but also to enable enterprises to enhance their competitiveness and survivability. In the recent years the creation of many Low Cost Carriers (Budget Airline) caused strong competition in the aviation market, in which these new airlines became newfound operating pressure for traditional airlines. C Airlines and E Airways are now assessing the impact and feasibility on the establishment of a low-cost airline or routes. In addition to Low Cost Carriers, how can they create new products? How can they provide better quality of service? The above are also the most important and pressing issues of sustainable management of the airline industry. However, to maintain the constant competitiveness of the enterprises, joint efforts from all corporate staff is a must. The employee who has a passion for work and self-directed learning is the cornerstone of sustainable development of an enterprise. To assist those staff to utilize the knowledge and information more effectively through learning will assist the staff to create their own innovative behavior, which can also create further benefits to the enterprise. In addition, by the mutual encouragement and assistance of a workplace friendship of the employee who has a passion for work can also produce innovative ideas for the organization. This research aims to study the influence on organizational innovation behavior of airlines employees who has a passion for work, self-directed learning behavior, as well as workplace friendships. Seven conclusions after analysis of the data retrieved, they are: （1）The employee who possesses a passion for work has a positive influence on self-directed learning.（2）The employee who possesses a passion for work has a positive influence on innovative behavior.（3）The employee who possesses a passion for work has a positive influence on workplace friendship（4）Self-directed learning has a positive influence on innovative behavior.（5）Workplace friendship has a positive influence on innovative behaviors.（6）The mediation effect of self-directed learning in passion for work effecting on innovative behavior is only partial.（7）Workplace friendship has no mediation effects in passion for work effecting on innovative behavior. I hope the results of this research can be provided to aviation industry as a reference to organize and assist employees. Particularly those who have a passion for work to acquire new knowledge, new skills, as well as workplace friendship through self-directed learning, and integrate the employee’s inner demands with the corporate requirements to stimulate new innovative behaviors for the purpose of sustainable business management.
