| Summary | To compare the “willingness to work on ships” (wwos) among the graduates from National Taiwan Ocean University (NTOU), maritime junior colleges (MJC), and maritime senior high schools (MHS), “job” is defined by 7 job value elements (JVE) and a job choice behaviors model is proposed in this paper firstly. 1092 graduates are surveyed and their wwos, personal information, and the work on ship’s satisfaction degree on these 7 JVEs are collected to construct an empirical model to explain the difference. Two common factors, named “personal demand factor”(pdf) and “social demand factor”(sdf), are abstracted from 7 JVEs data by principal component method. The final model consisting of 5 variables including NTOU, MJC, marine department, pdf and sdf are built. For the interpretation, the correlation coefficients between wwos and variables in the final model are decomposed in terms of direct, indirect and unanalyzed effects. The direct effects of variable NTOU and variable MJC on wwos are not apparent. The lower wwos of NTOU graduates is completely resulted from the lower indirect effect of pdf of NTOU graduates on wwos. The lowest wwos of MHS graduates is resulted from the lowest direct effect of MHS to wwos. |
