教會會友五大人格特質量表之發展

Abstract

本研究以五大人格理論為主，針對教會會友發展人格特質量表，包含外向性、和善性、正直勤勉、情緒敏感性與開放學習性五個構面，期望了解會友人格特質並預期會友參與服事之投入程度，包含服事穩定程度、實際參與服事項目與實際投入時間的多寡三個面向。本研究經抽樣教會會友，共計有效樣本463位，以因素分析、驗證性因素分析及信效度檢定，完成教會會友五大人格特質量表之建立。研究結果顯示，情緒敏感特質與外向性為最主要影響會友投入事工之因素，情緒越穩定或越外向的會友投入事工的程度越高。本量表為自評事量表，共計29個測量題項，外向性5題、和善性6題、正直勤勉6題、情緒敏感性4題、開放學習性8題。本量表可依據所預期的投入程度作為教會招募全職同工及調配志願性同工之依據，也可了解會友人格特質以提供教會牧養會友之參考。

The scale was developed to measure the Big-Five personality traits for members of church. Sampling from 463 members of church, the analysis was done by factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, reliability and validity test. The results show that neuroticism and extraversion are the most key factors that relate to religi-ous involvement considering three aspects: stability, time involved and programs participated. Extraversion is positively related to religious involvement, whereas neuroticism is negatively related. This is a self-report scale consisting of 29 items that measure extraversion (5 items), agreeableness (6 items), conscientiousness (6 items), neuroticism (4 items) and openness to experience (8 items). Each of the outcomes helps church to recruit full-time staffs and to deploy volunteers effectively. It also can be an indicator to shepherd church members.
