Summary:碩士 === 世新大學 === 行政管理學研究所(含博、碩專班) === 103 === This study aims to explore the current status of role pressures, personality characteristics, and self-efficacy among governmental procurement officials. It also examines the variations in role pressures, personality characteristics and self-efficacy among governmental procurement officials with different background variables. There were 270 survey questionnaires administered to procurement officials working in a central government agency, and obtained 253 valid responses. The empirical findings are as follows: 1. Governmental procurement officials exhibit low to middle level of role pressures, and middle to high level of self-efficacy. The scores on the subscales of role pressure are ranked in descending sequence as follows: role loading, psychological pressure, role conflicts, and role ambiguity. The scores on the subscales of personality characteristics are ranked, in descending sequence, as affinity rigidity, externality, openness, imagination, and neurotics; and self-efficacy as human relationship & goal-achieving ability, and individual ability. 2. The differences in gender, age, academic level, seniority level in government services, years in procurement function, procurement professional background and marital status will significantly influence procurement officials’ role pressures. 3. The differences in gender, age, academic level, seniority level in government services, years in procurement function, procurement professional background, marital status, and in-depth hands-on procurement experience will significantly influence procurement officials’ personality characteristics. 4. The differences in gender, age, academic level, seniority level in government services, years in procurement function, procurement professional background and marital status will significantly influence procurement officials’ self-efficacy. 5. The role pressures of governmental procurement officials exert partial influences on self-efficacy. 6. The personality characteristics of governmental procurement officials impacts partially on self-efficacy.
