The Study of Employee Passion- Financial Industry as the Example Abstract ¡§Work Passion¡¨ has been gradually gained attention. Most likely is that work plays an important part in our daily life. People could benefit from the joy and energy of the working. However, the related research in the field is insufficient. In this research, literature review and interview were first applied to developing the framework and questionnaire. The next stage is to adopt empirical survey approach which contains multiple regression and hierarchical regression to verify the following hypotheses. 1. A positive relationship between the sources of work passion and the behaviors of work passion. 2. A positive relationship between the behaviors of work passion and the effects of work passion. 3. A positive relationship between the sources of work passion and the effects of work passion. 4. Moderating effects exist between variables. The main conclusions are summarized as follows. 1. Hypothesis one is supported. Someone who enjoys the relationship with others or with an active personality will have passionate behaviors. The behaviors cover the goal oriented, self motivation, helpfulness, to overcome difficulties, ideas sharing, insistence on something, and so on. Except for the above mention, an open culture or influence of co-workers will enable employee to have the kind of behaviors, too. 2. Hypothesis two is supported. Someone who has passionate behaviors will be satisfied with his/her job and salary. 3. Hypothesis three is supported. The sources of work passion will bring effects on job and salary satisfaction. An open culture is a particular one which has a close relationship with job and salary satisfaction. 4. Person-job conflict will affect not only the relationship between sources and behaviors but also behaviors and effects. 5. Person-organization conflict will affect the relationship with sources and behaviors.

Motivation är ett centralt begrepp inom psykologisk forskning och är väsentligt i organisationer för att skapa förståelse om hur aktiviteter på arbetet påverkar anställdas motivation och prestation. Motivationsfaktorer förklaras bero på både inre och yttre drivkrafter. De inre drivkrafterna styrs av individens intressen och tillfredsställelse i arbetsuppgifter på arbetet, medan de yttre förklaras som exempelvis belöning och att uppnå företagsmål. Denna studie bygger på åtta intervjuer där syftet var att undersöka subjektiva upplevelser av inre och yttre motivation på arbetsplatsen. Resultatet analyserades med hjälp av metoden meningskoncentrering vilket uppvisade 4 teman i faktorn inre motivation: frihet, välbefinnande, mål och delaktighet. 6 teman upptäcktes i yttre motivation: belöningar, fysisk arbetsmiljö, sociala förhållanden, feedback, ledarskap/struktur samt kommunikation/samarbeten. Enligt resultatet kan yttre faktorer skapa möjligheter och förutsättningar för motivation, men det som driver är individens inre motivation.

In this study, it is defined to treat the sources of work passion as independent variables and to treat organizational commitments as dependent variables. Based on the test samples of high-tech research and development engineers, it is intended to figure out the relationship between all variables and how they affect eath other. Futhermore, using person-organization fit and person-job fit as interference variables to study the interference among all variables. Totally 1,035 questionnaires are issued and get 642 valid copies returned. By using reliability analysis, factor analysis, on-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, multiple linear regression and hierarchical regression to analyze questionnaire data, the result is summarized as follows, 1.A positive relationship between the sources of work passion and organizational commitments. 2.The sources of work passion and organizational commitments differ significantly depending on personal attributes. 3.Person-organization fit and person-job fit interfere the relationship between the sources of work passion and organizational commitments.

In recent years there has been growing interest in the concept of Person-Environment¡]P-E¡^Fit. Under the umbrella term of P-E fit, researchers have distinguished between specific types of fit¡GPerson-Organization¡]P-O¡^Fit and Person-Job¡]P-J¡^Fit . This study examines the employees¡¦ actual P-O fit and perceived P-J fit, and both types of fit as predictors of work passion, job satisfaction and turnover intention. The Q-sort approaches and the Organizational Culture Profile¡]OCP¡^adapted from Cable and Judge¡]1996¡^were used as the instrument for assessing Person-Organization fit. Furthermore, this paper examines the potential interaction between the P-O fit and the P-J fit. If such an interaction is significant , both types of fit can be a moderator for each other. Survey data collected from 277 employees of Taiwan Power Company are analyzed. The results show that: ¡]1¡^the person-organization fit calculated by correlating OCP1¡]characteristics of firms¡^ and OCP2¡]individual preferences for the characteristics of firms¡^ ranged from ¡V1 to 1¡]the¡©correlation coefficient¡ªis between -1 and 1 as expected¡^. ¡]2¡^Both P-O fit and P-J fit have positive impact on work passion and job satisfaction, respectively.¡]3¡^Both P-O fit and P-J fit have negative impact on turnover intention.¡]4¡^No significant interaction was found between the two types of fit and they are weakly related¡]r=.043¡^

員工具有工作熱情對企業與員工本身都有正面效益，因此，如何提高員工的工作熱情，是企業必須要關心的議題。然而，過去雖有研究指出直屬主管的行為對於員工工作熱情具有一定的影響力，但少有文獻有進一步的探討，因此，本研究希望從主管行為的角度出發，深入探討哪些主管行為有助於提高員工的工作熱情。本研究分成兩階段進行，第一階段透過文獻回顧，以及訪談五位實務界的專家，瞭解有哪些主管行為能提高員工工作熱情，並依照文獻資料與訪談結果編制主管行為問卷。第二階段使用第一階段發展的問卷進行量化驗證，以確認文獻與專家們提到的主管行為是否對員工工作熱情有正向的影響。 本研究問卷共蒐集到259個有效樣本，來自六家電子資訊業與兩家金融業，受測者皆為在職超過六個月以上的正職員工。本研究以階層迴歸分析確認主管行為變項與員工工作熱情變項間的關係，結果發現主管行為的「積極的指導與關懷」對和諧式熱情有正向影響；另外，主管行為的「以員工為中心的激勵」對和諧式熱情與強迫式熱情皆有正向的影響。 / Work passion can have noticeable beneficial effects on both employees and employers. Therefore, raising the employee’s passion for work is one of the key points which enterprises need to concern. There are some researches indicate that the behaviors of direct supervisors can impact on work passion of employee but the relationship remains unexplained. Here we’d like to investigate that from supervisor’s perspective, what kind of behavior from managers can enhance the work passion of employee. In the first part of this research, we have gone through reviews from both references and interviews of 5 managers from industry to conclude the specific behaviors which influence the work passion. Then we have induced a questionnaire according to the factors. Later, we have measured quantitatively from the survey and we have verified the relationships between supervisor’s behavior and employee’s work passion. We have collected 259 effective samples from 8 companies including IT, electronics, and financial industries. The subjects need to be a full-time employee for at least 6 months. This research takes hierarchical regressions to analyze the relationships between supervisors’ behaviors and employee’s work passion, and we found the “aggressive instruction and care” have productive influence on the harmonious passion. Besides, “employee-oriented encourage” also have affirmative effect on both harmonious passion and obsessive passion of workers.
