求才與求職乃一體之二面。回顧過去有關求才或求職的研究,大部分偏重在組織層次來探討求才的課題,較少從個體層次來討論其求職的方式。如何從求職者的角度來設計一套完善的求才計畫,以兼顧組織與個人在人力需供的平衡,攸關組織與個人的發展。基於此,本研究延伸以往求職議題的文獻脈絡,從人際關係的觀點出發,以我國企業32,140位員工為分析樣本,試圖回答影響個體求職方式的因素。經採多項次名義尺度的邏輯模型(multinomial logit model)實證結果顯示:(1)相較於經由廣告應徵或考試分發或公私立就業服務機構的求職方式來說,男性求職者比女性求職者較傾向於採取人際關係的方式來求職;(2)相較於經由廣告應徵或考試分發或公私立就業服務機構的求職方式來說,年齡愈大的求職者,較傾向於應用人際關係的方式來求職;(3)相較於經由廣告應徵或考試分發或公私立就業服務機構的求職方式來說,求職者的教育程度愈高,較不會透過人際關係的方式來求職。
Job-seekers are now also selecting the organization they want to work in, rather than the other way around. Thus, it is important for organizations to find a quick and effective method of hiring, but it is also important to develop a method to allow job-seekers to develop a job-seeking strategy that matches their characteristics. However, most of researches in job-seeking focus on recruiting of organization level, only a few researches study job-seeking methods for individual level. Following the research stream of job-seeking, based on views of personal relationship, this study tries to find the relationships between demographic characteristics, the previous work experiences of job-seekers and job-seeking methods from 32,140 employees in Taiwanese firms. The empirical research, using multinomial logit model, showed that: (1) men are more likely to seek jobs through their friends, while women are more likely to interview or take an examination for a job; (2) The greater the age of job-seekers, the most likely they are to seek jobs through personal relationships; (3) The higher the educational level of job-seekers, the less likely they are to seek jobs through personal relationships.
