Religion, gender, and family relations in TaiwanZhai, Jiexia, 1978- 28 August 2008 (has links)
Numerous studies show that religion has a strong association with gender role attitudes and family ideology in the U.S. Some religious traditions have fostered changes toward modern gender ideologies and others resisted. However, most studies are limited to Judeo-Christian contexts. It is not clear whether these patterns apply to societies where other religious traditions have been dominant or where gender issues are different -- for example in a Confucian society like Taiwan. The goal of this study is to understand the role of religion in gender and family relations in Chinese societies -- particularly marital gender roles, educational aspirations, and abortion attitudes and decisions. I utilize two large scale nationally representative surveys: the Taiwan Social Change Survey and the Knowledge of, Attitudes toward, and the Practice of Contraception Survey. My research shows that religion is significantly associated with gender roles and family relations in Taiwan. After controlling socio-demographic factors, conservative religious groups such as Taiwan Protestants and Yi-Guan-Dao members are more likely to support traditional gender role ideologies. They view women's fulltime work outside of the home as a negative influence on children and family life and are more likely to support a traditional men-as-breadwinner women-as-home-maker division of labor, compared with Chinese traditional religionists and secular people. Catholics tend to hold more liberal views that encourage men's participation in housework and both spouses' contribution to family finance. On abortion attitudes, both devout Christians and Yi-Guan-Dao members tend to strongly oppose abortion compared with Chinese traditional religionists and secular groups; however, there is no significant association between religion and either timing of abortion or patterns of abortion. Nominal Christians actually reported slightly higher number of abortions than other groups. Finally, there is no significant gender gap between the educational aspirations for boy and girl of different religious groups; the difference is in overall educational aspirations. Taiwanese Protestants show the highest aspirations and Yi-Guan-Dao members the lowest. Catholics and Chinese religionists are in the middle and do not have significant differences in their educational attitudes. Qualitative interviews with knowledgeable Taiwanese informants strengthens these arguments and helps explain mechanisms for the religion-family associations.

The effects of evaluation on organisational learning: a study of Taiwan's institute of technology librariesChen, Kuan-nien, Information Systems, Technology & Management, Australian School of Business, UNSW January 2006 (has links)
The research question of this thesis is ???what is the relationship between evaluation procedures and organisational learning in an academic library???? The study investigates the nature of organisational learning within Taiwanese institute of technology academic libraries, and in particular the nature of the relationship between the formal institutional evaluation (IE) of those libraries by the Ministry of Education (MoE) and the organisational responses of the libraries. A ???process, phase of organisational learning (PPOL)??? model guided the delineation of research variables and the collection and analysis of data. The subjects of the research were 67 academic libraries and their staff. Phase I of the study consisted pf a questionnaire survey of 312 staff. The results of the survey formed the basis of Phase II of the study, the semi-structured interviews with 24 library personnel, together with an examination of relevant documents of the particular libraries involved. The refinement of the PPOL model is an indication that generally the direction and the use of IE, while recognised by management and employees, do not in most cases translate into higher levels of organisational learning and change. The findings of this thesis apply to the particular types of libraries studied, and to the concept of evaluation and organisational learning. Libraries are automatically to some extent involved in self-evaluation because they must prepare for IE, with some assistance from their institution. However, this does not imply that if various changes occur in the libraries there must be a strong correlation with the existence of high organisational learning. The external nature of the evaluation and the lengthy time periods between evaluations are two factors which make the learning response of libraries more difficult to determine. Ideally, an IE will assist the library on a path of continuous organisational adaptation, which involves structural, communication and climate changes. These changes reflect the ongoing organisational learning activities.

Southern Taiwan industries study at Taiwan High Speed Rail EraWu, Chih-Shih 20 January 2009 (has links)
Just like Eurotunnel link England & France, by the time Taiwan high speed rail arrive at Kaohsiung and Taipei , the passengers and people at platform welcoming the train, both feel exciting of this tremendous improvement of Taiwan.
Taiwan have two highways and a railway for connecting Kaohsiung and Taipei despite many roads that have constructed long before. Even there also has plane to catch if you need time. Therefore, Taiwan high speed rail is a high-tech spine for new era of Taiwan.
The distance between Taipei and Kaohsiung is merely 300 kilometer . Unfortunately Southern Taiwan and Kaohsiung didn¡¦t get sources from government fairly the old days. Now through this high ¡Vtech spine Kaohsiung and southern Taiwan can step forward proudly embracing future.
Southern Taiwan had Kaohsiung Export Processing Zone and many industrial zones by local government , are not enough for use. Recently Southern Taiwan Science Park and Kaohsiung Software Park and Pingtung Agricultural Biotechnology Park all are built to meet future need. Enterprise can run business in these parks at lower cost than Northern Taiwan. Also , there are many solutions offer by government to help company and enterprise to improve and move in southern Taiwan.
This study interview southern Taiwan companies and enterprises. From their point of view to see Taiwan high Speed Rail this modern technologic transportation create new opportunities for southern Taiwan. And bring lesson and suggestion for the future.

The lived experiences of Taiwanese hospice nurses caring for dying patientsWu, Hung-Lan 12 October 2012 (has links)
Hospice nurses are primary professional caregivers providing end-of-life care to dying patients and their families. The terminal care practices often place heavy physical, emotional, and spiritual demands on hospice nurses. The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenological study was to explore the experiences of Taiwanese nurses who care for dying patients in hospices. The research question that guided this study was: What is the lived experience of Taiwanese hospice nurses who caring for dying patients? The conceptual orientation of this study was based on Paterson and Zderad’s (1976) Humanistic Nursing Theory, which is rooted in phenomenology, intersubjectivity, and existential thought. A snowball sampling technique was employed to recruit 14 female participants who worked in six different hospices in central and southern Taiwan. Semi-structured, face-to-face interviews were conducted and transcribed by the researcher. The data analysis was based on Colaizzi’s (1978) guidelines. Four main themes and three sub-themes emerged from thematic analysis. The four main themes are: (1) entering the specialty of hospice, (2) managing everyday work, (3) living with the challenges, and (4) reaping the rewards. Three sub-themes of managing everyday work include providing holistic, meaningful care through close relationships; confronting and managing negative beliefs about hospice; and managing the dying process. These main themes and subthemes constituted the fundamental structure of these hospice nurses’ caregiving experiences which was an evolving journey. The results of this study provide nursing educators, students, staff and administrators insights into the hospice nurses’ experience and hospice care in Taiwan. They can use these data to improve nursing education and change nursing practice. Additionally, researchers can design further studies to expand nursing knowledge to advance staff development and improve quality care for dying patients and their families. / text
