| Summary: | 碩士 === 南開科技大學 === 福祉科技與服務管理所 === 107 === This study analyzed the military pension reform bill proposed by the Ministry of National Defense in March 2017. The purpose of this study was to investigate the current influence of Taiwan’s pension reform bill on military personnel’s willingness to continue service, retirement planning, and willingness to be re-employed. By investigating the influence of the pension reform bill on discharged and retired military personnel and referencing their opinions, this study explored influential factors and their relevance to military soldiers’ and officers’ retirement planning.
Following Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior, this study developed a questionnaire consisting of three dimensions to investigate the influence of the pension reform bill on discharged and retired military personnel, including their willingness to continue service, retirement planning, and willingness to be re-employed. This study adopted fuzzy set theory to incorporate a fuzzy linguistic algorithm in the questionnaire design to conduct measurement and quantification for analysis. The research targets were currently active and retired officers and soldiers from army logistics category. A total of 400 copies of the questionnaire were distributed; 326 were valid samples. The research analysis is detailed as follows:
（1）The primary influencing factor of discharge was career planning. Officers and soldiers commonly set their discharge goals as “completion of service.”
（2）The participants strongly agreed that to assure them of their retirement, the current retirement system should be developed based on Taiwan’s living conditions and featured well-developed supporting measures.
（3）Officers and soldiers agreed that well-developed financial planning before retirement is required to assure them in retirement. Stable investments and savings can determine whether an individual can retire early.
（4）The participants agreed that the pension amount might be the principal factor influencing their retirement lifestyle.
（5）The participants agreed that the current governmental promotion of military pension reform policies influenced their retirement scheduling.
The results of this study could assist currently active officers and soldiers in conducting preliminary planning for career, financial, and health-related aspects during the term of military service to effectively reduced the health, financial, and employment problems related to individuals’ retirement lifestyles after implementation of the pension reform bill.
