碩士 === 義守大學 === 管理研究所碩士班 === 96 === In the past 40 years, the government extremely emphasized on oil chemical industries development in many significant national construction plans. However the early time under the pursue economy development hypothesis, the environment nearby oil chemical industries region is also serious day by day. Significant environment protests are unceasing seriously affect resident’s quality of life. The CPC corporation promised that the fifth naphtha cracker move to a different site after running 25 years. An outcome may result in 250 thousands people lose their jobs, more than 2880 hundred millions oil chemical industries value of output. It will do harm to Kaohsiung economy development in the future. This study take the Social Judgment Theory(SJT) as the foundation and also take “the negative effects degree on Kaohsiung’s economy”, “the degree of environment improvement in Hou Jing” and “the degree of the government accomplished commitments” as factors to discuss different groups of subjects how to make their choices and distribute weights. So we can understand the cognitive variation and the source of conflict between groups of testers. Finally, we will find a way to know how the cognitive conflict occurs in public decision-making and to decrease cognitive conflict. The result shows all groups have different comments on “the negative effects degree on Kaohsiung’s economy”. Maybe the government deal with the fifth naphtha cracker issue should satisfy all group’s needs and opinions as could as possible and try to gain a consensus. Environment groups get highest weights in this factor. We can know they take the factor as important, but they don`t support it. The officers get the lowest weights in this factor. However, the research result shows officers support this factor. All groups get quite high weights on “the degree of environment improvement in Hou Jing” and support it. This result also tells us all groups pay much attention to this factor. For this reason the decision-maker should try to balance economy development and environment protection. The officers get the highest weights in this factor and the environmental groups get the lowest. But the research result shows the environmental groups support this factor and so does officers. Finally, we can know all groups get common views on “the degree of the government accomplished commitments”. They think “the degree of the government accomplished commitments” get higher they support the fifth naphtha to move more and more. This result tells almost groups of subjects have an idea that the government should accomplish commitments to persuade people.
