由於社會急速變遷，政府職能及任務日益繁重，公務人員亟需隨時進

修、充電，始足嗣應。本研究遂以公務人員在職進修為主題，探討公務人

員進修之理論、研究，藉供實務上規劃公務人員進修措施、培育人才之參

考。本文主要的研究目的有六： 一、瞭解公務人員參加進修活動的現

況及對各項進修活動需求的情形。二、探討公務人員參加進修活動的動機

。三、探討公務人員所感受到的進修阻礙及其對公務員進修的影響。四、

比較不同自重感與人口統計特質的公務人員，其在進修動機、進修參與程

度、感受到的進修阻礙及對各項進修活動需求上的差異情形。五、瞭解自

重感、進修動機、進修阻礙對公務人員參加進修活動及對進修需求上的影

響。六、提出增進公務人員參加進修意願、激發進修動機、提昇進修風氣

之具體建議，俾供人事行政當局作為規劃公務人員進修措施之參考。

本研究係以問卷調查法為主，文獻法為輔。資料之分析，係由文獻研究所

得資料進行質的分析；再應用研究者自編的「公務人員在職進修意願調查

問卷」，搜集資料，進行量的分析。主要的研究變項包括：自重感、人口

統計變項、進修實況、進修需求、進修動機、進修阻礙。調查的資料係利

用「社會科學統計軟體程式」（SPSS/PC~F0;+~F0; 4.0）進行統計分析，

採用的統計方法包括：ヾ皮爾遜積差相關、ゝCronbach Alpha信度係數、

ゞ兩個平均數差異Ｔ檢定法、々單因子變異數分析、ぁScheffe 多重比較

等五種。研究結果主要發現如下： 一、公務人員參加進修的情況不理

想，公務人員參加較多、需求較多的進修活動均是研讀專書、學術演講、

專題研討等，參加較少、需求較少的進修活動均是實習、國外進修項目。

二、公務人員之進修動機多為求知或職業進展、社會服務等，而較少

受逃避或刺激、外界期望等動機影響而進修者。 三、公務人員感受到的

進修阻礙多屬情境阻礙與制度阻礙。 最後，綜合文獻資料分析、貫徹

研究結果，提出下列建議： 一、公務人員應建立終生進修的觀念，及

早作生涯規劃，積極參與符合自己能力、需求之進修活動，並尋求外界對

其進修之支持。 二、人事行政當局應廣泛調查公務人員之進修意願，

規劃多樣化、彈性化的進修活動以符合不同組群者之需求，尤應加強輔導

弱勢組群之進修，並竭力解決公務人員進修之阻礙。 三、後續研究可

針對不同層級、性質、地區之公務機關人員，瞭解其進修需求及阻礙因素

等情形，藉以規劃兼顧個人與組織發展之進修措施。
