碩士 === 龍華科技大學 === 企業管理系碩士班 === 105 === On the basis of the national defense needs, changes in combat patterns, and technological trends, the government has been through the transformation of the “enlisting system” that recruits lasting, willing and experienced military volunteers. Combined with advanced weapons and equipment replacement, these military volunteers are modeled as “small but fine, small but strong, small but clever” professional standing forces and believed to build solid rock defense force and maintain long-term national security. To work together promoting the enlisting system, the Ministry of Defense, in accordance with government policies, has actively started the relevant supporting measures. In recent years, the Ministry of Defense has gradually improved the welfare, career planning, environmental quality, facilities, and the like to bring the army a “comfortable” and "”relaxing” environment which differs from the one in the past. The government wants to bring the troops a home, as much happiness and comfort, which purpose is to encourage outstanding young people to join the army and stay long. Because of the enlisting system, volunteer soldiers have derived its manpower from volunteers rather than mandatory service. In the near future, the overall volunteer forces will be as the main force and volunteer soldiers have gradually become important roles. Ideally, the willingness to continue service of volunteer should be high, but in reality, the ratio of the incentive to continue their service is not that high. Since soldiers and officers seem to be happier, why is the retention rate not relatively improved? The issue is worth discussing. Based on Maslow’s of hierarchy of needs theory, this study attempts to explore the factors of happiness and the factors that affect the willingness to stay, respectively, from the salary and welfare, facilities to the need and the daily life of the volunteer soldiers, to understand the volunteer soldiers on the service of the well-being of the troops, group cohesion and the awareness of organizational commitment. Constructive and effective conclusions and recommendations will be proposed to help my work go smoothly and the military forces, so that young people in the army can have a sustainable development.
