| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣海洋大學 === 商船學系所 === 101 === Shipping business has a direct impact on the international economy. But in this time of Europe debt crisis, supply surplus of ships and decline of global economy, whether or not employing foreign sailors can indeed reduce costs is a question that needs to be re-examined by all the major shipping companies. The situation is worsened by the stricter and stricter inspections necessary which inevitably increase the seafarers' workload. The shipping companies are forced to be more active in preventing the shipwreck from happening. If the seafarers have a higher organizational citizenship behavior, it can improve the shipping safety from reluctantly preventing it to happen to actively preventing it from happening. Also, seafarer's satisfaction toward their work will directly affect their working. It follows that it is important to pay attention to the level of seafarers' satisfaction toward their works and their organizational citizenship behavior as it can have a positive impact on shipping safety.
Therefore, this study use the theory of Person－Environment Fit as a base to create a mode that will affect Chinese and Taiwanese seafarers' working attitude; to gather levels of satisfaction and organizational citizenship behavior from seafarers’ by way of questionnaire by using statistical calculation method based on hierarchical regression to study "person-organization" fit, "person-job" fit and "perception of discrimination" for Chinese and Taiwanese seafarers and its impact on seafarer's working attitude.
The study shows that: (1) "person-organization" fit, "person-job" fit and "Taiwan and mainland China differences " does significantly impact both Chinese and Taiwanese seafarers' level of Job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behavior. (2) Chinese seafarers' Job satisfaction is significantly lower than the Taiwanese seafarers but organizational citizenship behavior is significantly higher than the Taiwanese (3) "Taiwan and mainland China differences " will have an influence on "person-organization" fit, "person- job" fit and "organizational citizenship behavior". (4) "Perception of discrimination" will influence "person-organization" fit and "job satisfaction".
Further, according to the study, the author recommends that when shipping companies are recruiting either Chinese or Taiwanese seafarers, they should also consider "person-organization" fit and "person-job" fit. Also, they should adopt appropriate measure according to different nationality in the delegation of works and management and should actively create a fair and non-discriminating working culture and environment in terms of salary, employment, promotion and training.
