國軍軍官階級晉升停滯與生活滿意之關聯探討：以工作滿意為中介變項

The Mediating Effect of Job Satisfaction on the Association between Hierarchical Plateauing and Life Satisfaction among Military Officers

國軍軍官因受到服現役最大年限或年齡之限制，以致於未占上階職缺者，即面臨強迫退伍之命運，然而當個人無法在階級上取得晉升，直到退伍期間，往往都還有數年，如此便容易產生階級晉升停滯的感覺。而本研究之目的，即是要以「已逾晉任停年」之軍官作為研究對象，驗證「現階任期對階級晉升停滯是否有顯著的影響」，以及探討「工作滿意是否在階級晉升停滯與生活滿意間產生中介效果」。研究採用立意取樣方式進行，得到有效問卷222份。結果顯示，軍官現階任期愈長，階級晉升停滯愈加明顯。此外，「工作滿意」在「階級晉升停滯」與「生活滿意」之間扮演著顯著的「完全」中介效果。本文最後亦針對研究結果進行討論與建議。

National army officers are subject to the maximum number of years of active service or age restrictions, so that those who do not occupy upper-level positions will face the fate of forced discharge. However, when an individual is unable to advance in the class, there are often several years until he is discharged from the army, so it is easy to feel that class promotion is stagnant. The purpose of this study is to take officers who have exceeded the minimum time in grade as the research object, to verify whether the current class tenure has a significant effect on hierarchical plateauing, and to explore whether job satisfaction produces a mediation between hierarchical plateauing and life satisfaction. The study was conducted by intentional sampling, and 222 valid questionnaires were obtained. The results show that the longer the officer's current tenure, the more obvious the hierarchical plateauing. In addition, “job satisfaction” plays a significant full mediation between “hierarchical plateauing” and “life satisfaction”. At the end of this paper, discussions and suggestions are made on the research results.
