Affects of Design/Build Delivery Method on the Organization and Employees’ Attitude ----- the case of Taipower’s Thermal Power Plant

[[abstract]]實施統包採購策略（D/B）已成為一種時代趨勢，其在國外已穩定成長並成為公共工程建設採購的另一項選擇，政府亦體察到此一發展趨勢並頒佈法源依據，在民國88年5月27日政府採購法正式實施後，公營事業的採購方式已面臨重大的變革，預期各公營事業採行統包採購策略將日漸增多。惟過去在統包相關文獻中，大都偏重於選商程序、工程控管機制及績效評估等方面，鮮少探討因業主採購策略之變革（由D/B/B→D/B）而對組織與員工態度影響之相關研究。 本研究係以台電核火工程處系統員工為研究對象，並結合問卷調查與專家訪談的方式，經統計分析與歸納整理後，本研究結果主要有以下五點發現： 1. 個案公司大部份員工同意公司的採購改採統包制度，而且認為以大統 包採購較具成效並贊同以大統包採購作為組織之採購策略。 2. 減少工程界面是個案公司決定實施統包採購的最重要因素,且個案 公司已漸進調整採購策略改採統包。 3. 實施統包會促使組織在運作面、結構面及管理面的改變。亦即實施統 包會影響組織運作、組織結構及組織管理。 4. 員工對於實施統包是有抗拒的傾向，但抗拒的型式是內蘊的，非立 即的，並無嚴重外顯的排斥變革情事,且部份員工同意實施統包會 提昇工作滿足。 5. 不同年齡、學歷、年資、職位及工作性質的員工對工作滿足感均無顯 著差異；不同年齡、學歷、年資對抗拒變革均無顯著差異，但不同職 位及不同工作性質的員工對抗拒變革則有顯著差異。[[abstract]]The design-build (D/B) delivery method has been recognized as one of the options for the procurement of public projects. According to previous studies, in many developed countries, the number of projects which used this method has been constantly increased and it has become a trend. In Taiwan, the increasing use of the design-build delivery method can also be observed, especially, after the Government Procurement Law was promulgated on May 27, 1999. The project delivery system of the State-Owned Enterprise is facing hefty re-engineering. Many studies have been made on the design-build delivery method. However, most of them focused on the contractor selection procedure, the control mechanism, performance evaluation etc. few wad made on the impact on the organization and its employees. This study is designed to examine the impact of design-build delivery method on the organization, which previously used the traditional design-bid-build method, and its employees’ attitude. The construction department of Taipower’s Thermal Power Plant was selected for the study. Conclusions were made based on the analysis of survey results and the information collected from the interviews with the people involved in the procurement works. This research results show that (a) most employees tend to agree the adoption of the B/D delivery method and the project size will affect the outcome; the bigger the project scope, the more effective, the project performance is, (b) the main reason for the use of D/B method is to reduce the interfaces in the different phases of the project delivery process, (c) the use of D/B method will definitely change the operation process, structure, and management of the organization, (d) there is resistance to change, however, it is not strong enough to cause objection and part of the employees agree that the level of satisfaction increases after the use of D/B method, and (e) the level of job satisfaction has no strong relation with employee’s age, working experience, education, and position, but the level of resistance is strongly associated with the position and the nature of job
