Pilot study was implemented with 177 managers,technicians, or MBA students, the result indicated that most of the items were accepted after deleting some items with too high frequency or too low correlation between the item and subscale. After the rearrangement of the questionnaire items , another 449managers or technicians from 13 companies completed the questionnaire, the data is factored by SPSS 8.0 using principal component analysis to extract and varimax to rotate . The results indicated that the organizational career management questionnaire(i.e. OCMQ) consisted of four components, which were justice, training, self recognition, and communication of job information, and 65.09% variance was explained. The Cronbach of each subscale, i.e. justice, training, self recognition, and spreading of job information was 0.87,0.76, 0.79 ,and 0.78 respectively. This research also used five other questionnaires which were career commitment, organizational commitment, job performance,career satisfaction and job involvement as dependent variables. Their Cronbach was 0.79, 0.80, 0.65, 0.70, and 0.81, and each questionnaires was valid, too.
