Description
Summary:碩士 === 南華大學 === 企業管理系管理科學碩博士班 === 102 ===   Although a downsizing project and an improvement project have been promoted in the military troops of our country, an increase, rather than a decrease, in the workload has made implementing logistic tasks uneasy, challenging logistic manpower downsizing. In order to keep the troops lean, strong and agile and to coordinate with the downsizing policies, including adopting a volunteer military system and an overall structural adjustment of the state military force, the government has decided that downsizing parts of the logistic repair and maintenance personnel shall be based on the employment appraisal for personnel hiring instead of the privatization method, due to the consideration of core power and agility maintenance, the timeliness and readiness of combat power, and commonality with the general public. Adopting such an approach will enable the repair and maintenance logistic supporting power to stay well maintained both at the peaceful time and during the war time, and a stabilized logistic maintenance and repair efficacy is beneficial for combat support. The study discussed the relationship among organization downsizing perception, organizational commitment, and work performance using logistic personnel from an air force base as the study sample. The study used questionnaire survey to collect data and the respondents were randomly sampled. The investigators first conducted a pilot questionnaire survey (n = 50) to ensure that the reliability is good enough for the formal questionnaire survey. In the formal questionnaire, 300 copies of the questionnaire were distributed, and 274 of them returned and valid. The rate of return was 91%.   The study used the SPSS 12.0 program for data analysis and processing. The statistical analysis included reliability analysis for consistency and stability of questionnaire items, factor analysis for extracting factors for forming fewer dimensions, descriptive statistics for central tendency and level of perception of each dimension of questionnaire respondents, t-test analysis and one-way ANOVA for differences among the groups, correlation analysis for association among the dimensions, regression analysis for interaction and mediating effects among the dimensions. The results of the analyses are described as follow: 1. Personal characteristics of logistic personnel (age, marital status, education background, work unit, status, job title, seniority) were shown to have a partially significant effect on the personnel’s organization downsizing perception, organizational commitment, and work performance. 2. Logistic personnel’s organization downsizing perception, organizational commitment, and work performance were demonstrated to have a partially significant correlation. 3. Logistic personnel’s organization downsizing perception and organizational commitment were demonstrated to have a partially significant effect on work performance.   According to the statistical findings, the investigators provided suggestions for military human resource outsourcing and future research.
