| 摘要: | 本研究係以三位製造業中高齡男性，經歷非預期之生涯轉換歷程者為對象，以敘事研究的方法，探討製造業中高齡男性生涯轉換之生命故事。其研究目的有三項：一、瞭解製造業中高齡男性生涯轉換之歷程；二、瞭解製造業中高齡男性轉換職業之因素；三、瞭解製造業中高齡男性的生涯韌性。資料內容以敘事心理分析方式進行分析，提取三位敘說者共同的生命經驗。研究結論以生涯韌性之角度討論，發現三位敘說者在前生涯結束期，共同敘說主題為：察覺公司營運不穩定；積極尋求工作機會；心態調適，在此三項主題中，可看見「出正向情緒調適能力」以及「增進控制感的行動策略」的緩衝力之生涯韌力。在中介期的共同敘說主題：嘗試從事其他職業，以及面對求職困境的主題，在這兩項主題中，展現了「肯定自我價值；正向價值觀與信念」的持續力之生涯韌力。在新生涯開端期的共同主題為：調適新職場與工作型態，以及接受現況、展望未來，在這兩項敘說主題當中，可以看見個體的「視框轉換與重建意義的能力、技能學習與適應新工作之能力等」的轉換力之生涯韌力。
此外，在研究結論中以Thomas（1989）「社會結構性限制理論」探討了製造業中勞工生涯的特殊性，發現「階級的社會環境」；「職業的組織化安排」；以及「勞動市場的切割」使製造業勞工的生涯選擇具有限制性，在中高齡階段遇到非預期之生涯轉換時，所面臨的挑戰更為艱難。然而，研究結論也發現台灣社會的本土文化中，製造業中高齡男性勞工所具有的優勢，即為豐富的社會歷練中所累積的社會人情與人脈，人情與人脈的建立在製造業中高齡勞工生涯中，具有重要的影響。
綜上所述，希望可以提升未來專業助人者及輔導人員之多元文化觀點，以供製造業中高齡勞工諮商之參照。
This study uses narrative research methods to discuss the life stories of three senioragedmen in the manufacturing industry who have experienced unexpected career transitions. The research aims to achieve three objectives: first, to understand the career transition process of senior-aged men in manufacturing; second, to explore why they transit the occupation; and third, to examine their career resilience. Psychological Narrative Analysis is used to extract the life experiences portrayed by these three individual narrators.
The study discussed from the perspective of career resilience, reveals that in theearly stages of career transition, the narrators commonly discussed such as perceiving unstable company operations, actively seeking job opportunities, and adjusting their mindsets. Within these subjects, we could see their career resilience manifested through abilities in positive emotional adjustment and proactive strategies to enhance their sense of control. In the mid-term of career transition, common subjects include attempting different professions and facing challenges of job searching. These highlight their sustained career resilience from self-worth affirmation and positive values and beliefs.
In the late stages of career transition, the common subject centered on adapting to new work environments and job types, as well as accepting current situations and looking towards the future. All of this showcases their resilience in the ability to reframe perspectives, reconstruct meaning, acquire new skills, and adapt to new job roles.
Furthermore, the study conclusion discusses the unique aspects of careers in the
manufacturing industry referencing Thomas's (1989) theory of structural constraints. It reveals that social class environments, organizational arrangements within professions,and labor market segmentation will impose constraints on career choices formanufacturing workers. These challenges are particularly daunting during unexpected career transitions in senior age. However, the study also identifies advantages among senior-aged male workers in the manufacturing industry in Taiwan society and culture, which are the accumulated social connections and networks, having significant influence through their extensive social experiences.
In summary, the study aims to enhance multicultural perspectives among future
professionals and counselors, offering insights for counseling senior-aged workers in the manufacturing industry. |
