| Summary: | 碩士 === 元智大學 === 管理研究所 === 96 === The organization structures of military and government are of the same one, Hierarchy, which functions not on the basis of cost and benefit as under the war or other emergencies, the top priority is to achieve the goal in spite of the cost. In war, cost is not the concern. Everything can be sacrificed, including life, in order to accomplish the orders and that is what makes soldiers great. No matter how successful the strategy is, without tactics and combats the strategy cannot be executed. A combat is carried by soldiers and the key person who helps the soldiers equip needed combat skills is the company sergeant major, the performer of orders, the manager of life, the advocator of morale, and the evaluator of performance. A sergeant major plays multiple roles in military organization and develops unique personality traits. Therefore, the study applied the proof results presented by 張春興 and 楊國樞 in 1992 as basic theoretical supports and adopted the Cross-cultural(Chinese) Personality Assessment Inventory-2(CPAI-2) developed by Researchers M. Cheung et. Al. at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to analyze the personality traits of Army Sergeant Majors.
300 copies of the questionnaires were dispatched and 290 copies were retrieved, 46 copies were invalid. The result shows that there are 8 personality traits out of 13 are different in the basis of gender: the Social Potency is highlighted for male, and the female is for Accommodation. The reasons that make the difference are heredity as well as the requirements from the military and its environment. In comparison with the conclusions of “本土化的華人開放性量表在「中國人個性測量表」中的發展” presented by Researchers M. Cheung et. Al. in 2002, the military personnel got the higher scores in Novelty, Diversity, Divergent Thinking, and Interpersonal Tolerance than the civilians did and the female military personnel even had the equal performance in Diversity and Interpersonal Tolerance in comparing with non-military male personnel. In different age sectors, there are 4 personality traits that have obvious outcomes which may caused by Role Overload, Role Conflict, and Role Confusion. Although branch and unit specialties are separately individual and organizational factor, they are all about the environment. Therefore, 5 personality traits in Social Potency category have obvious difference and the reasons may be the combat situations.
The findings of the study are mostly coinciding with the proof results presented by 張春興 and 楊國樞 in 1992. Therefore, the study points out 3 possible research targets for further studies and 4 suggestions on military policies in the hope of assisting non-commissioned officers to elaborate their potential.
