碩士 === 元智大學 === 經營管理碩士在職專班 === 99 === In 2008, due to the substantial price-hike of global petroleum prices and the continuous rising of raw material prices, the whole world was subject to the threat caused by the increase of inflation. Finally, a financial tsunami evolved, and then came in a great surge. A series of chain reactions also impacted job markets directly, and hence tremendous unemployment tides developed. The purpose of this thesis was to explore the correlation among the psychological impact, family influence, crisis coping strategies, and career development when middle-level or high-level managers in Taiwanese enterprises encountered involuntary leaving the job. In this study, qualitative research methods were adopted. Related viewpoints given by the “middle-level or high-level managers” were obtained through In-depth Interview. Then, case studies were undertaken via auxiliary means such as related literatures, data and interview content. Finally, Cross Analyses were made, aimed at the interview content of the five samples, for finding out their meanings and differences, in order to understand the impact and influence of involuntary leaving the job on “middle-level or high-level managers”. The research findings indicated: This group of interviewed middle-level or high-level managers used to belong to the class who had very high employability and sense of work security and who had no need to worry about their short-term economy. Therefore, at the initial stage when they encountered involuntary leaving the job, no impact and significant influence were shown on their self-affirmation, career planning and families, even though they might have emotional reactions such as being astonished or surprised. However, after experiencing the unemployment periods which were longer than the ones they had expected, they began to have negative mentalities and emotions gradually, such as dejection, depression, dispirit, suffering, panic, sense of insecurity, and degraded confidence, along with economic pressure.
