  • 內部稽核員是公司治理重要的一道防線,而稽核員人格特質對公司營運與防弊機制之有效性,影響至深。本研究旨在探討稽核員人格特質、懷疑態度與稽核品質之間的關聯性。本研究運用五大人格特質模型來建立稽核人員人格特質的模型,探討這些特質對稽核品質的影響。本研究共收集254份問卷樣本,並運用多元線性迴歸分析來檢驗假設。研究結果顯示理想稽核人格特質與稽核品質之間並無直接顯著關聯,卻存在間接關係表現,具「開放性」人格特質且透過懷疑態度之調節效果,能有顯著提升稽核品質。這些發現對人力資源管理者具有啟示意義,即在選擇稽核人員時,應注意其個人特質是否適合此一類型工作。本研究為適合擔任稽核人員的人格特質提供了實證推理,期能幫助人力資源者在招募過程中挑選適合的稽核人才,以提高內部稽核作業品質,同時有效提升公司績效、降低公司營運風險。


    This study explores whether the personality traits of internal auditors, who serve as the critical last line of defense in corporate governance, affect the effectiveness and suitability of company operations and anti-fraud mechanisms. By examining various issues related to the selection of audit personnel in the literature and further researching the differences in personality traits among those who work as auditors, we have developed a model for the personality traits of audit personnel based on the Big Five personality trait model. Under the assumption of an ideal job concept, we investigate how these traits impact audit quality through statistical analysis, examining whether personality traits influence audit quality and to what extent. We collected 254 questionnaire samples and employed multiple linear regression analysis to test our hypotheses. The results found that there is no direct significant relationship between ideal auditor personality traits and audit quality. However, there is an indirect relationship, where the "openness" personality trait enhances audit quality through the moderating effect of a professional skeptical. These findings have implications for human resource managers, suggesting they consider individuals' traits when selecting audit personnel. This study provides empirical evidence on suitable personality traits for auditors, aiding human resources in recruiting the right talent to enhance internal audit quality, improve company performance, and reduce operational risks effectively.
