近年來，瑞士洛桑管理學院（International InStitute forManagement Development簡稱IMD）所公布之全球國家競爭力評估報告，總會引起政府及民問相關單位的高度關切，並以此作為施政及營運的指標。我們知道，政風之良窳係政府人員精神、觀念、生活、操守和工作態度的整體表現，端正政風工作若能真正落實執行，不但對社會具有教化與引導作用，亦有助於提昇政府廉能形象。

前法務部長廖正豪曾說：「政風人員為公務員中的公務員。」因此，政風人員之形象與作為，必須為公務員之標竿。然而，近年來政風機構雖替國家風紀把關，為肅貪組織之一環，但政風組織功能與人員角色飽受爭議。因為繼中研院要求裁撤政風室後，各鄉鎮最近也要求撤除政風單位，據聞有些單位首長認為政風單位在機關內礙手礙腳，寧可刪減政風預算，或請政風單位負責駐警與驅趕野狗等工作，此作法是否意謂著政風機構功能與人員角色需調整或改變呢？

本論文以角色理論來檢視政風人員在組織與機關間所扮演的角色如何，並以功能理論的觀點評析政風組織所具之功能為何，由於政風機構之組織係採所謂「一條鞭」的設計；而在指揮體系上係採「雙軌制」運作，因此，在現有政風機構組織、法令規範下，政風人員的角色是什麼？政風組織應該負擔的功能又是什麼？這些問題引起筆者之研究興趣，亦盼藉此研究龍提供有關單位在制訂或修正政風機構相關法令時之參考，以期對我國廉政制度有更明確的方向。

關鍵詞：政風機構、政風人員、角色、功能

In recent years, the report of the Global Competitiveness Evaluation issued by International Institute for Management Development (for short iMD) , bad caused a high attention to government authorities andgrassroots units, as made an index of administration and management. It is known that the official's spirits, conceptions, livelihood, morals, and working attitudes decide the excellent quality or not. If we can execute distinctly the correction of ethics affairs, it will not only educate & guide the society conception, but also lift the image ofthe government's rectitude & competence.

Mr. Liao cheng-how, the prior Minister of Justice said, " The Government Ethics officials are civil servants." Therefore, their image and behavior must be the ideal for all civil servants. However, there are much criticism exist on the issue of the Ethics Organization's Function and Ethics Official's character. At the first, asking removal the Ethics unit by Academia Sinica and then some townships have same request, too. It is said that the Department of Government Ethics became the preclusion in affairsadmimstration, the principals of affairs agencies would rather abate the budget of the Ethics' unit or assign the Ethics officials to do security and guard job. Whether it that means that we need to change or adjust the Ethics Organization's Function and Ethics Official's character or not?

The thesis is based on the character theory to check the role of Government Ethics Official between organization and unit. Meanwhile, analysis how the function ofthe Ethics organization is, which is based on an aspect of the function theory. The organization ofthe Ethics was designed by single superintendence system, but the conduct regime was operated by Double sides direction. Therefore, what is the character ofthe Ethics official under current organization and prescripts ? What kind offunction must be in charge by the Ethics organization ? These questions rouse my research interests, we hope the conclusion through the research can provide reference for adjusting all related-prescripts constituted by the Government Ethics, in order to make a clear direction forincorruptionism.
