探討工程師主動人格、工作滿意與創新能力之關聯性研究

The study on relationship among engineers' proactive personality, job satisfaction and innovative capabilities

台灣的科技業與製造業向來是穩定經濟與建設的重要基礎，其生產作業之各項結果皆具有高度專業性質。科技業與製造業除了需要重大設備與精密儀器之外，更為重要的是內部的工程師，因為每一項程序都有知識密集且需要積極投入的要素涵蓋於此，才能讓所有的產出具有良好的品質。在競爭激烈的環境中，工程師亦被要求更多的創新能力，才能繼續改善工作流程與結果，讓科技產業與製造業有更優秀的表現。本研究認為具備主動人格之工程師會引發較好的創新能力，同時，也推論工程師的工作滿意會調節主要關係，藉由文獻探討建立研究假設，以問卷蒐集資料，再以統計分析檢驗假設。研究結果說明工程師主動人格較佳時，能對創新能力有正向顯著之預測力，尤其在較高工作滿意的情境下，更有強化此段關係的作用。本研究之結論能對台灣工程師之人力資源與創新管理有所啟示。

Taiwan's technology and manufacturing industries have always been an important foundation for economic stability and construction, and the results of their production operations are highly professional in nature. The technology and manufacturing industries require not only major equipment and precision instruments, but more importantly, in-house engineers, as each process has knowledge-intensive and active elements that need to be covered in order for all outputs to be of good quality. In a highly competitive environment, engineers are also required to be more innovative in order to continue to improve work processes and results for better performance in the technology and manufacturing industries. This study concludes that engineers with proactive personalities trigger better innovation, and also hypothesizes that engineers' job satisfaction moderates the main relationships, and establishes research hypotheses through literature review, questionnaire collection, and statistical analysis. The results of the study suggest that a better proactive personality of engineers has a positive and significant predictive power on innovation ability, especially in the context of higher job satisfaction, which strengthens this relationship. The findings of this study can provide insight into the human resource and innovation management of engineers in Taiwan.
