It is well accepted by now that most change initiatives are unsuccessful even though more organisations are experiencing change as they fight to retain and improve their competitiveness in the market place. It is against this background of change failure that researchers have looked for new strategies to improve change outcomes. Theoretical models conceptualising the dynamic change process advise on better change strategies, but little empirical evidence has demonstrated that these models are effective in improving change implementation outcomes. Theoretical models were also developed to counter change resistance, but little emphasis has been placed on employee change readiness. Some empirical research on employee change readiness explores employees? perception of organisational readiness, but no empirical research has explored employee readiness from a psychological perspective. That is, how to create change readiness in employees. This thesis has contributed to both the theoretical and empirical understanding of the change readiness model. Firstly, the theoretical readiness for change model Armenakis et al.?s (1993, 2002) was extended by the inclusion of the ?understanding of the change? driver. Secondly, this change readiness model was empirically tested on two distinct organisational changes: organisational restructure and IT change. The extended model is also examined for two change stages of the dynamic process to identify which readiness drivers should be prioritised by change agents. Two online questionnaires were administered eight months apart assessing the responses to three change stages (planning, implementation and post-implementation) of employees ? supervisors and subordinates - of a flat structured organisation in the human resource industry. At the two measurement points 189 and 141 employees returned completed surveys. Six employee readiness drivers were operationalised and regressed against behavioural change intention. The quantitative findings using regression models across two change types and longitudinally did not identify a specific change pattern. However, all six readiness drivers including the ?understanding of the change? driver were influential on employees? behavioural change intention. Furthermore, statistical differences between supervisors and subordinates were identified in the organisational restructure change. The quantitative findings using a triangulation approach with qualitative date including data from two unstructured interviews and employee comments further validated the quantitative findings. The thematic analysis of the employee comments enhanced the findings and identified employee specific concerns including information dissemination of the changes and a level of uncertainty. The findings supported Armenakis et al.?s (1993, 2002) theoretical contribution that change readiness drivers are an important part of the organisational change process explaining why employee do and do not change. The empirical application of readiness change driver evaluation during the dynamic change is supported as it permits change agents to directly monitor employees? readiness perception of a specific change target. This valuable information finds practical utilisation for change agents in providing targeted guidance and support for employees thus facilitating a greater likelihood of a positive change outcome. Implications of these findings and future research opportunities are discussed.

本研究旨在瞭解青少年的金錢觀、需求滿足與慾望，並以 Alderfer的ＥＲＧ理論探討需求滿足及慾望對青少年金錢觀的影響。 研究樣本係依校級抽樣臺灣地區八百七十四位十三至十八歲的青少年。以自編之自陳式慾望、需求滿足和金錢觀問卷為研就工具。所得資料以次數分配、變異數分析、徑路分析等統計方法處理。 研究結果發現，在青少年的金錢觀方面，整體而言，大部分青少年均有正確的金錢觀，特別是對金錢在人際互動中的效用以及金錢的獲取方式有正確的看法。此外，不同的樣本指出，女生、國中生、居住在鄉村者以及有儲蓄習慣者對金錢有較正確的看法，反之，零用錢愈多對金錢的看法也較偏差。 其次，以徑路分析解釋需求滿足度和慾望對金錢觀之影響的研究結果指出，慾望是需求滿足影響金錢觀的中介變項。此外，影響青少年金錢觀的主要因素是關係需求和關係慾望，亦即，能夠與重要他人有良好的互動關係以及想要與重要他人建立良好關係的青少年對金錢的看法也較正向。而這二個變項在國中生和高中生樣本中有些許的差異：就國中生而言，關係需求滿足度對金錢觀的影響較關係慾望來得大，在高中生樣本中則恰好相反。 針對以上結果，提出研究討論及後續研究在方法以及變項上的建議，並對青少年之金錢教育提出鼓勵儲蓄、建立支持系統的建議。

通路商在「供應鏈」的角色，除了必須發揮原廠與客戶端中間橋樑之基本功能以外，尚須面對外部競爭及內部營運績效提昇之考驗。在面臨內外在環境的衝擊及市場的激烈競爭，通路商如何發展其競爭策略來厚植其競爭力，謀求生存利基，是一值得探討的問題。 本研究主要目的是在探討台灣半導體通路商之發展策略，透過對於國內有效問卷之180家通路商作分析，經有系統的收集與整理資料後，利用隨機效果的橫斷時間序列資料迴歸模式分析，結果顯示： 一、組織績效正差會增加通路商對於新產品與新客戶開發的發展策略。 二、組織績效負差會增加通路商對於新產品開發的發展策略，但減少新客戶開發。。 三、領導者的認知度需求度對於新產品與新客戶開發的發展策略有負向影響。 四、領導者的冒險傾向對於新產品與新客戶開發的發展策略有正向影響。 五、領導者的認知需求度對於績效差與新產品開發有調節效果。 六、領導者的冒險傾向對於績效差與新產品開發有調節效果。 / The role of distributor, basically, not only supply chain management but also “bridge” between suppliers and customers, Meanwhile, they encounter external competition as well as challenge of internal performance improvement. Beset by difficulties both at home and abroad as well as fierce competition, distributors need to modify their competition strategies in order to enhance their competitiveness and chip in the niche category they can rely on. It is worthwhile to understand how the semiconductor distributors in Taiwan keep their competitive capability under the challengeable situations. The aim of this study is to investigate the development strategy of Taiwanese small and medium distributors who exclusively manage semiconductor products. After the collection of 180 leader-company dyadic data, this study utilized the random-effects panel regression models to examine the hypotheses. The results showed： 1. The positive difference between organizational performance and past performance increased distributors’ development strategies of new product and new customer exploration. 2. The negative difference between organizational performance and past performance increased distributors’ development strategies of new product exploration but decrease new customer exploration. 3. Top leaders’ need for cognition had negative effect on both of new product and new customer exploration of development strategy. 4. Top leaders’ risk-taking propensity had positive effect on both of new product and new customer exploration of development strategy. 5. The need for cognition of a top leader had moderating effects on the relationships between performance differences and new product development. 6. The risk-taking propensity of a top leader had moderating effects on the relationships between performance differences and new product development.

<p>Syftet med studien är att se hur upprättade åtgärder överensstämmer med resultatet på det nationella provet i svenska i skolår 5, samt att studera vilken typ av åtgärder som nedtecknats. Syftet är också att granska specialpedagogens roll vid arbetet med de elever som inte nådde målen. De teoretiska ramar vi valt för denna studie baserar sig på författares och forskares böcker och forskningsresultat vilka behandlar ovanstående ämne. För att utföra denna studie har vi intervjuat två lärare och två specialpedagoger på två olika skolor och i två olika klasser. I de två klasserna finns tio elever i behov av särskilt stöd. De dokument vi använt oss av är nationella provet i svenska i skolår 5 och åtgärdsprogrammen för dessa elever. Vår studie visar att det finns mycket få brister i överstämmelsen mellan de åtgärder eleverna erhållit och de svårigheter de uppvisat på provet.</p> / <p>The purpose of this study is to examine if actions written down in the action program is consistent with the results pupils reach in the national sample in Swedish in school year 5 and to study what sort of actions teachers write down. The purpose is also to find out what roll the special teacher has in the work with the pupils that did not pass the national sample. The theoretical framework we have chosen for this study is based on the writers and researchers, books and researches which deals with the above topic. To perform this study, we interviewed two teachers and two special educators in two different schools and in two different classes. In the two classes are ten pupils in need of special support. The documents we made use of are the national sample in Swedish in school year 5 and action programs for these pupils. Our study shows that there are very few shortcomings in consistency between the actions the students received and the difficulties they have shown in the sample.</p>
