| Summary: | 碩士 === 環球科技大學 === 公共事務管理研究所 === 104 === The Coast Guard Administration (CGA) is responsible for patrolling the coastlines of Taiwan. Inspection offices are the fundamental executive units of the CGA, largely operated by voluntary military officers and petty officers. Subsequently, it is anticipated that the coastal patrol force will drop by 60% once the all-voluntary military system is launched by the government. In the advent of a sharp reduction in available manpower, identifying the core competencies (CC) of coastal inspections is crucial to determine whether coast guards’ qualities and abilities satisfy the various requirements of coastal inspections.
The purpose of the present study was to review the CCs that are essential for military officers, petty officers, and soldiers currently serving in the inspection offices of the Coastal Patrol Directorate General. The CCs were validated by cross-referencing them with various theories, and a new core construct model was established. An interview survey and analysis method was adopted to elucidate the CC requirements of military officers, petty officers, and soldiers serving in inspection offices. The results were used to formulate a series of training courses that were highly correlated to labor, duty, and performance.
Members of the Coast Patrol Corps 4 and Coast Patrol Corps 4-2 of the Central Coastal Patrol Office, CGA, were invited to participate in an in-depth interview survey. The purpose of the interviews was to examine the CCs of patrol staff in four dimensions, namely, knowledge, skill, management, and attitude. Regarding knowledge CCs, results showed that directors of inspection offices are frequency replaced and that although the respondents were able to identify knowledge requirements, their knowledge proficiency failed to satisfy the requirements. In term of skill CCs, the respondents largely lacked cores skills. These shortcomings were largely attributed to short service periods and the absence of adequate trainers, time, and equipment. Regarding management CCs, inspection offices should focus on public services and maintain an open line of communication with the fishing people, thereby helping and benefiting the public. Moreover, internal management should focus on communication and coordination, as well as experience sharing. Regarding attitude CCs, military officers, petty officers, and soldiers typically choose to be decommissioned once their service contracts have expired to be relieved from the tedious and cumbersome duties of the inspection offices.
