經濟全球化的發展，勞動市場產生結構性的變化，勞動市場趨於彈性化，使非典型工作增加，普遍低薪的情形讓青年較上一代面臨更大的就業風險，也迫使他們必須改變觀念和行為來因應大環境的變遷。青年依照自己的處境與需要，重新調整並找出適合自己的轉銜路徑，度假打工成為現今台灣青年的新選擇。 度假打工對現今青年的生涯規劃存在著不可忽視的影響力，本研究旨在探討為何青年願意放下國內的工作赴海外度假打工？其回國後之就業選擇是否產生變化？度假打工期間的個人成長是否增加其在職場的競爭力，符合企業對人才的需求？ 本研究採取立意抽樣及滾雪球抽樣，針對度假打工回國至少一年以上者進行深入訪談。發現度假打工的動機包括：想離開台灣日益惡化的就業環境、對工作感到倦怠、看不到工作的未來發展性，以及不清楚人生志向。從青年回國後的求職及就業狀況，發現他們在度假打工期間累積的能力，如溝通能力、抗壓性與挫折忍受度、解決問題及應變能力、國際接軌能力、學習意願高，都是現今企業所重視的，對於他們重新投入職場以及職涯發展具有深遠影響。 / Economic globalization has been changing the labor market enormously in terms of the structure and flexibility. Thus the increase of atypical employment is one of the main causes of deteriorating labor market and low-paid jobs. The youth of today face higher employment risk and they are forced to change their employment behavior and aspirations in response to circumstantial vicissitude. The youth try to find out the road which is suitable to them. In recent years, working holiday has become the new choice among young people in exploring their career pursuit. The influence of working holiday in youth’s career planning cannot be ignored. There are three issues this study focused on. Firstly, why the youth in Taiwan resign their job and go oversea for working holiday? Secondly, will the youth’s career selection change after they come back? Lastly, during the working holiday, will the youth’s personal ability get strengthened as a result of working holiday experience and that capability in turn increases their competitiveness in labor market? By Purposive Sampling and Snowball sampling, the target groups who had come back at least one year are chosen and are conducted in-depth interviews. We found out that their motivation to undertake working holiday includes the following: getting away from deteriorated labor market of Taiwan, job burnout, pessimism for the future career development, and lost purpose in their life. As to the impact of working holiday, the findings show that the experience of working holiday will have long term impact on the youth’s future career development, such as communication skills, stress resistant ability, problem-solving capability, global adaptability, and high willingness to learn.
