數位遊戲產業初任企劃人員所需職能之分析

Abstract

數位遊戲產業屬我國政府大力扶植的重點發展產業之一，其從業人員所需職能有待釐清，以利人才之選訓考用留。本研究目的在分析其初任企劃人員所需職能，方法借重美國勞工部就業訓練局(ETA)推動的職能積木模式(blocks model)，先經文獻探討和專家訪談草擬所需職能，再透過焦點團體法邀請數位遊戲產業之內容專家參與分析。並依該職能模式將職能分為個人效能職能、學術職能、職場職能、整體產業技術職能和次產業技術職能1-5個層級，這5層級皆分為幾個區塊，每一區塊標示職能範圍，亦即技能、知識、才能以及其它與成功推展產業有關的必要因素，尤其是第5層是由產業代表辨明的職能。結果發現，臺灣數位遊戲產業初任企劃人員角色可區分為：提案企劃者、劇情企劃者、溝通協調者和設定企劃者四項。並針對各項角色所需分析出所對應之職責共計22項；配合各職責，分析獲得數位遊戲產業初任企劃人員之重要職能包括人際溝通技巧等共計37項。此結果可作為數位遊戲產業初任企劃人員選、訓、考、用之參考依據。Digital game industry (DGI) is one of the major industries promoted by Taiwan government, but the competencies of its practitioners remain to be clarified. The purpose of this study was to analyze the competencies for the entry-level (DGI) project designer. The blocks model developed by the,U.S Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (ETA),was employed. Both literature review and expert interview were conducted to develop a list of necessary competencies; then a focus group comprised of 6 panelists was invited to discuss the list based on ETA’s blocks models and divided the competency model into five levels (personal effectiveness, academic competencies, workplace competencies, industry-wide technical competencies and industry-sector technical competencies). This study concludes that the roles of entry-level project designer in DGT can be divided into the following four groups: the proposal initiator, the content planner, the coordinator, and the system designer. This study also identifies the duties and competencies required in each role. There are 22 responsibilities and 37 competency categories that can be selectively assigned to the four aforementioned roles. The result can be used as the reference basis for the recruitment, selection, training, examination and employee retention of entry-level project designer.
