本研究之目的在於探討照顧服務員之勞動條件對於其工作意願之影響，以及是何種因素降低了照顧服務員的工作意願以及工作吸引力。本研究中使用了深入訪談及焦點團體訪談兩種方法，與12位照顧服務員進行訪談，以瞭解其勞動條件對工作意願之影響。根據訪談結果可得，(一)在經濟環境不景氣下，即便照顧服務員不滿意其目前的薪資水準，但受訪者仍以固定工作及薪資收入為其首要考量；(二)工作時間容易影響照顧服務員的生活作息，使其身心狀況受到影響進而容易產生職業倦怠；(三)照顧服務員與被照顧者家屬之間的相處容易產生摩擦，且家屬對照顧服務員的信任度與專業性較護理人員低；(四)家庭狀況容易影響照服務員工作意願，因而造成從事照顧服務員一職者多為中年人；(五)意外事故的發生容易造成照顧服務工作壓力。上述五點結論，對照顧服務員的工作意願皆有所影響，且降低照顧服務員工作意願之因素絕非單一影響因素，最主要仍是因為照顧服務員本身勞動條件較其他工作低外，加上人際關係與家庭狀況等外在因素的影響，因而使得照顧服務員此一工作呈現工作吸引力降低，以及員工流動率高的傾向。 In the long-term care industry, “Nurse Aides” is the person who most directly contact and to get along with caregiver-care receiver and also the person who direct providing services. Therefore, in the society that population rapidly aging, for the long-term care industry, is there have sufficient manpower to cope with population at demand, which is the problem that the long-term care service industry in Taiwan must to face and solve.

In order to understanding their working conditions influence on their work motivation, this study interviewed with 12 nurse aides. According to interviews, discover (A)under the premise that is economic downturn, the salary level of nurse aides will not improve their turnover intention, because they would like to have a permanent job and salary income. (B)working hours will easily affect their lifestyle, physical and mental condition and then cause burnout. (C)nurse aides are hard to get along with the family members of caregiver-care receiver, because the family members of caregiver-care receiver have low confidence and not trust the professional of nurse aides. (D)family status will effect nurse aides work motivation and then cause nurse aides who are mostly middle-aged person. (E)contingency likely to cause pressure on nurse aides.
Those five conclusions, all will affect work motivation of nurse aides. The reason reducing work motivation of nurse aides is definitely be single factors. Mostly is because the working conditions of nurse aides still lower then other jobs, and plus the extrinsic factors such as interpersonal relationships and family status which makes the trend that attractiveness of nurse aides being reduce and increase the turnover of nurse aides.
