| Summary: | 碩士 === 中華大學 === 科技管理學系碩士班 === 99 === After the implementation of the teacher cultivation policy, there is a surplus of substitute teachers. This is due to The Trend of Fewer Children, which makes the supply of teachers exceed demand. At present, finding substitute teachers is a common occurrence when teachers require leave. This situation becomes worse, however, when there are large-scale events, or there are many teachers on leave. Substitute teachers can be difficult to schedule, let alone guarantee the quality of their teaching. The acquisition of talented teachers is one of the most important aspects of human resources management. The selection of teachers perfectly matched with the schools can not only benefit the advancement of school affairs but also guarantee the rights of education.
Recently, due to rapid advances in information technology, human resource websites have become a new medium of communication. Large corporations utilize them extensively. Government and non-government organizations have also set up various websites to provide information to substitute teachers.
The purpose of this study was based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). It aimed to investigate the perception and willingness to use resource websites as related to the differences of elementary school teachers’ acceptance of technology as well as other external variables.
450 elementary school administrative personnel and substitute teachers in New Taipei City were randomly chosen to participate in this survey, with a total of 419 valid surveys. The effective response rate was 93.11%. The result showed that the teachers' intentions, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of using human resource websites were above average, but the actual behavior of using human resource websites was below average. There was significant difference in the computer self-efficacy, website functions, behavioral intention, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of using human resource websites between the elementary school teachers with different backgrounds. There were positive correlations among elementary school teachers’ computer self-efficacy, behavioral intention, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of using human resource websites. Furthermore, the teachers' perceived usefulness and perceived ease of using human resource websites could effectively predict the teachers' behavioral intention to use human resource websites.
In the end, this study suggests that when planning teachers’ human resource websites, the education authority should consider promoting the websites’ functions. This is to facilitate the efficient use of the websites as well as aid in the school authority’s ability to match reserve teachers in a more quality-regulated manner. Furthermore, the above suggestion also expects provide an improvement in the imbalance of supply and demand regarding substitute teachers at the junior and elementary school levels.
