The Kaohsiung Harbor Bureau is undergoing a organizational change process to change its status to that of a Special Authority. This organizational change will have a significant impact upon the professional jobs and rights of Bureau employees. The current Bureau administration is able to control neither the progress nor the practical results of this organizational change initiative. This research treats personal variables and organizational climate as independent variables, organizational commitment and job satisfaction as dependent variables, and opinions regarding organizational cha nge as the moderator variable. The study aims to investigate the effect of organizational climate during times of organizational change on staff commitment to the organization and on job satisfaction levels among staff. The population targeted by this research project were the employees currently working for the Kaohsiung Harbor Bureau. One fifth of them was included in the samples which was randomly selected. They were asked to fill out a questionnaire form. Questionnaire data was then analyzed using a variety of methods, including factor analysis, one-way ANOVA, regression, and staged multiple regression analysis. The researcher investigates the followings: (1) to identify significant differences between groups of individuals with differing personal variables existed in terms of organizational commitment and job satisfaction; (2) to assess the effect and predictive power of personal variables and organizational climate on dependent variables; and (3) to examine whether interaction between the variables of "attitude toward Special Authority organizational change " and "organizational climate" significantly impacted upon any of the dependent variables. Research results indicated the following: 1) Within personal variable categories, significant variations in the level of organizational commitment exist between employees of different staffing categories. 2) Within personal variable categories, significant variations in the level of job satisfaction exist between education levels and staffing categories. 3) Within personal variable categories, marital status and department to which an employee belonged showed significant positive impacts upon the level of job satisfaction. 4) Within organizational climate variables, degree of management empathy, interpersonal relationships, and respect for subordinate staff showed significant positive impacts upon organizational commitment and job satisfaction. 5) Within organizational climate variables, the degree of management empathy and attitude toward organizational change were positively related to job satisfaction levels. Respect for subordinate staff and attitude toward organizational change were inversely related to job satisfaction levels. The research suggests four courses of action based on the above-mentioned findings: (1) to demarcate a clear system of duties and authorities to motivate staff effectively; (2) to step up second-specialty training for staff to reduce employees' worries regarding organizational change; (3) to maintain a continuous effort to create a positive organizational climate; and (4) to respect initiatives by subordinate staff to create "win-win" conditions.

Taiwan is facing to the heavy impact due to hi-tech industry move outside, especially in high-tech and high-valued semiconductor industry. And now the high-tech companies are facing to the transform of industry structure. The most important is how to enhance the competitive advantage to them. Besides operational efficiency, the speed is another critical factor to face the character of semiconductor industry either changing frequently or fast changing environment. Markets and tasks are both diversified and changeable, and the timing is also compressed quickly. Not only business operation has to accommodate with quick changes of environment, but also change ahead of marketing changes. The key point is to create or search the competitive niche for each company. Even though the strategy and organization structure will be changed for the need of the marketing environment, the factors that affect the organization structure including environment and strategies also have influence on organization operations as well as organization control and efficiency. But in the process of organization changing, not only focus on the adjustment of organization structure but further aware of the transform of corporation constitution and the development of human resource. In general company¡¦s performance of appraisal is based on the strategic plan, policy deploy and the calculation of the balance score card which are focused on the management of objective between inter-departments or stratums, but neglect the horizontal leakage among the departments or interspersions, and combine work tasks with the targets of individual development in the future. I create a ¡§combined sheet of the career plan¡¨ which improves the aforesaid defects, and make a more complete career plan sheet with illustrative case. In view of the practical experience personally, I realize that the most critical point is the personal expectation and permission in the course of organizational operating systematically. The combined sheet of the career plan also link up the targets of work tasks and individual development. In the meantime, the company fits with complete performance appraisal in order to induce and motive employees to set up some targets of individual development combined with work targets that would go deeply into the motivation and be lasting of work targets for employees. In this way, the employees will both give consideration to the performance in the personal and company. A semiconductor company, the study case of the thesis, experienced organizational regroup many times. The study focused on the different organizational types, the model of managerial operation, and the positive and negative influences on the organizational efficacy and internal control. The study in the aspect of organizational structure and changing management was involved deeply, and the environment and strategies was also described to some extent. The procedure of this study was mainly through the interview and review on the relevant reference documents related to the subject of organizational structure and changing management, meantime to have a better understanding on the development of regroup in the company for further analysis and presenting the proposal to the company, and expect to establish a valuable managerial model of organization change to improve the defects of organizational management, and to be applied in the progress of plan and management for reference.

Humor is usually associated with trivial or non-serious banter; it is however a significant factor in the construction of organizational culture. This work provides an experience based organizational account of how organizations are produced and reproduced, as well as how organizational interaction is coupled with structure. This dissertation is based on two ethnographic studies: the first, a year-long study of a hotel kitchen, and the second, a three-year study of a private boarding school. This long term examination of an organization??s interaction is used to illustrate how organizational interaction produces the duality of organizational structuration overtime. An ethnographic communication-focused approach provides methods for recognizing multiple sites and levels of the Structuration process. As a result, this approach provides a major contribution to understanding the process of Structuration through agents?? actions in the context of their organizational culture.
