臺灣社會隨著居家照顧服務的使用需求人數逐年增加，也吸引男性加入居服行業，成為居家照顧服務員。本研究旨在探究男性進入居服工作的動機。研究方法採用內容分析（Content Analysis），研究對象為長期照顧機構中，三位從事居服工作資歷達六年以上的男性居服員，以半結構式深度訪談進行資料蒐集與分析。研究結果為工作動機是個人因素（養家活口、獲得快樂、身強體壯、認同工作意義）以及環境因素（經濟不景氣、家人的支持、機會與緣份）。政府在推動居家服務的同時，應規劃適宜的長照政策，增加居服員的薪資水準與福利制度，相關單位也必須加強居服員工作性別平權觀念，改善社會大眾對於男性居服員的偏見。

The purpose of this research is to explore the motivations of men entering the home care service work. The research method adopts content analysis. The research objects are three male home caregivers, who have been engaged in home care service work for more than six years in long-term care institutions, and semi-structured in-depth interviews are used to collect and analyze data. The results of the study are that work motivations are personal factors (supporting a family, gaining happiness, being physically healthy, identifying the meaning of work) and environmental factors (economic downturn, family support, opportunities and fate). The government should plan an appropriate long-term care policy to have the pay raise and build better welfare system for home caregivers. Related units must also strengthen the concept of gender equality for home caregivers, and improve the public’s prejudice against male home caregivers.
