碩士 === 國立虎尾科技大學 === 休閒遊憩系碩士班 === 105 === Taiwan currently employs a number of policies, methods, and mediums to encourage youths to return to their hometown. The goal is to create different appearances for Taiwan’s rural areas as well as identify the possibility for their sustainable development. Youths who come from these rural areas share identical traits and mindset. This study attempted to verify that the positive mindset and attitude possessed by these youths who returned to their hometown have a sustained effect on them taking on rural community development-related jobs. In addition, such endeavors serve as important references to youths who plan to take on community development-related jobs in the future, government agencies that are actively promoting related policies, and social organizations that are involved in such development-related operations. Moreover, these efforts facilitate the sustainable development of rural areas in Taiwan. In this study, a quantitative method was adopted for data analysis, in which 280 valid questionnaires were collected, coded, and archived. A research analysis was also performed using various statistical methods including reliability and validity analyses, descriptive statistics, t-tests, single-factor ANOVA, and structural equation modeling. Finally, the study results were examined.
