The value is the inner support system of attitude, as the behavior is the substantial project of attitude, therefore the major concept of this analysis towards the intentions of staying farm and leaving farm of current young farmers in the country is based on the variables of working value, job satisfactions, job involvement and individual’s social features, in order to examine as the value change, the reason why young farmers intend to choose to stay farm, and describe the career selection machinery to benefit the latter related researches. In order to achieve the research purpose mentioned above, this study applied the data collected from questionnaires of“A research on the extension strategies of agricultural management for in- and return migrant young farmers” which composed by Council of Agriculture in 2007, the total effective samples are 263.
