Investigation on Irrigation Association’s Administrative Core Values in Taiwan

With the “grounded theory” research methods, we interviewed some personnel who has worked in the Irrigation Associations for a long time, visited 7 current personnel who worked in the IAs for more than 20 years, including the director and the staff, and then we interviewed the selected 3 personnel once again, and kept the record one by one in order to collect the information. Then we screened the possible core values of “organization mission”, “ethics standard”, and “achievements guidance” by data analysis. After “theoretical saturation” sufficiently testing 4 personnel, we make sure that the content of interview has been overlapping, i.e., the information sufficiently presents the core values of the 3 facets.se the afore-mentioned information to make a questionnaire, and by investigating the statistics and analysis of the questionnaire, the administrative core values of the IAs have been screened from “the most approvals”, “the priority”, and “the constancy”. In the facet of “the organization mission” is “the member welfare”, in the facet of the “ethics standard” is “honestly follow the law and discipline”, and in the facet of “achievements guidance” is “profession” and “team work”. We expect this will meet the jobholders in the IAs to carry out their missions, in order to empower the business of IAs, to inspire the mutual recognition, and to generate the positive motive and strength. We expect that will well-organized the function and the administrative efficiency of the IAs.
