碩士 / 明志科技大學 / 工業工程與管理研究所 / 99 / Working on fishing boats are characterized as “long hours, low wages, and dangerous” and few young people are inclined to select it as a career path. This career avoidance has caused the number of people working in the fishing industry to continuously decline in the last 20 years. With the shortage of workforce, fishing boat owners turn to Mainland China and other international sources to fill the gap in order to sustain their operation. However, international fishing boat workers have difficulty in sustaining the existing cultures in the fishing industry, and they have also caused some management problems due to such cultural differences. Thus it becomes an urgent issue in expanding the sources of domestic workforce for the fishing industry.
The Marine Vocational High Schools have been the primary workforce training ground for commercial shipping, and they should have the potential to become the source for the needed fishing boat workforce. This research develops a theoretical construct from the four dimensions of salary compensation, work characteristics, socio-economic status, and career development to study the inclination of graduates from the Marine Vocational High Schools to select working on fishing boats as a career path. The data are collected from four Marine Vocational High Schools -- namely National Keelung Maritime Vocational High School, National Suao Marine & Fisheries Vocational High School, National Tainan Senior Marine Fishery Vocational School, and National Penghu Marine & Fisheries Vocational High School -- and the graduating classes are selected from the Divisions of Fisheries, Marine Engineering, and Marine Navigation to participate in the survey. A total of 324 valid returns were received. Analyzing these data with regression models, two major findings emerged: (1) when the four dimensions were discussed separately with respect to the inclination of working on fishing boats, it shows significant positive correlations; and (2) when the four dimensions are discussed in totality, the dimensions of salary compensation and graduates’ self-assessed socio-economic status of working on fishing boats have stronger impact than the other two dimensions.
