博士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 科技應用與人力資源發展學系 === 106 === The current legislative policy requires the faculty in universities of technology to gain work experience or conduct research in industries. In order to timely make suggestions for further implementation and continuous improvement of the policy, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the initial implementation effectiveness of the policy and investigate its influencing factors. Based on the policy implementation process model and six influencing factors presented by Van Meter and Van Horn (1975), this study constructed a conceptual model comprising policy implementation effectiveness and its six influencing factors (policy objectives, policy resources, university-industry interaction, university’s characteristics, peer support, and faculty’s disposition). A questionnaire was developed to collect necessary data from 316 faculty members teaching professional or technical areas in universities of technology. The statistical analyses of collected data usedt-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Consequently, the following conclusions are made: (1) The initial policy implementation effectiveness has been revealed, but the effectiveness of enhancing faculty’s R&D quality needs putting more efforts; (2) The key influencing factor is faculty’s disposition; (3) The conceptual model developed in this study has a good internal and external quality and can serve as a good foundation for further research studies; and (4) The current policy is lack of flexibility, increases faculty’s burdens, and may lead to perfunctory or superficial responses.
