The purpose of this study is to investigate the interrelationship among the work values, career development and organizational commitment of the middle- and old-aged career changing workers in the private security industry so as to let the enterprises understand the working attitudes of the security guards currently working in their organizations, and explore the difference of population statistical variable on the career development, organizational commitment and work values, as well as the effects of work values on organizational commitment and the planning of career development.
Apart from investigating the establishment of the structure of this study through literature, this study takes the private security guards of Kaohsiung City as the research targets for verifying the above theoretical structure. The acquired information is applied to the quantitative analysis by statistical method. And multiple-regression analysis is conducted under the control of population statistical variable.
This study is finally concluded as follows:
1. The middle- and old-aged employees in the private security industry are mostly the job-ceased workers who start working again. The main reason for the cessation of their previous jobs is the termination of business. After observation, the reason of their current employment is still mainly the ¡§basic economic need of family.¡¨
2. The work value that the middle- and old-aged employees in the private security industry stress most is ¡§social interaction and economic orientation,¡¨ implying that they have a high extent of concern for whether reasonable economic returns can be obtained from work as well as whether the company can offer a complete system to satisfy their sense of security.
3. As to the career development of the middle- and old-aged employees in the private security industry, the average scores of each construct is above average. The construct of career development that the employees stress most is ¡§ability exertion.¡¨ Especially the employees at a younger age, they are more concerned about whether their abilities can be exerted than the older employees.
4. The loyalty of the middle- and old-aged employees in the private security industry towards their servicing organization is above average, with emotional commitment getting the highest average scores, and the next items being regulative commitment and continuous commitment. It can be seen that the middle- and old-aged employees¡¦ loyalty towards organization is due to their emotional dependence on, understanding of and involvement in the organization. They even think that their loyalty should be a must in their posts of private security guards. As to the extent of their remaining in their organizations, it is rather low due to the consideration of cost.
