本研究以警察為研究對象，試圖探討使命感與工作負荷及工作滿意之間的關係。此外，使命感的重要性以及意義，也在本研究中被討論。研究結果發現，男性、已婚且年齡與年資較長，以及階級較高的警察，使命感比較強烈。另外，使命感除了能夠正向影響工作滿意，也同時帶來了工作負荷，顯見使命感對工作的影響並不全然是正面的。從研究結果推論，使命感與工作滿意及工作負荷的關聯性極強，因此其重要性不容輕忽，而使命感的概念在警察這個行業以及華人的社會文化下，可能也有不同於西方世界的解讀，值得深入探討。

The purpose of this study is focus on the relationship among the sense of calling, workload and work satisfaction. Using police officers as the research subject, this study also intends to discuss the concept and the importance of the sense of calling. The results of this study show that older and married male, with longer tenure and higher ranking, seem to display higher degree of the sense of calling. Furthermore, the results also indicate that the sense of calling is positively related to work satisfaction, and surprisingly, is positively related to workload as well, which may imply the opposite sides of the influences of the sense of calling. Considering the strong link among the sense of calling, workload, and work satisfaction, it is believed that the sense of calling might play a critical role in the working context. Also, the concept of the sense of calling may differ from the previous illustration under the Chinese culture and in the specific occupational context, i.e. police; therefore, it should be worth to discuss in the future studies.
