7-ELEVEN自1978年起，在台灣開始經營便利商店，經過三十多年的努力，以滿足消費者全方位需求的便利生活為目標。隨著7-ELEVEN加盟主的展店計畫，台灣地區約有四千八百家。由於加入連鎖加盟經營，不僅投資成本低、經營風險也低。對7-ELEVEN總部而言，加盟主合作前的遴選就相當重要。
諸多文獻中提到，人格特質對於員工的工作績效表現上佔有很重要的部份，它對於不同工作性質以及不同職業的工作績效，都會有顯著影響（Mount & Barrick,1998）。另外，根據鄧運林（1995）之研究，說明自我導向學習其實就是最好的成人教學模式。而自我導向學習與工作績效有正相關性（Paul & Donald,1992）（Yu,1998）。
本研究根據相關學術文獻所提出的理論基礎，針對雲嘉南地區所有的330位加盟店長作為普查研究對象，以 Big Five五大人格特質量表60題和自我學習導向量表（SDLRS）52題作為研究問卷，以統計分析7-ELEVEN店長五大人格特質及自我導向學習傾向與工作績效之相關性。研究結果發現7-ELEVEN店長，其五大人格特質中的親和性、正直勤勉性、情緒敏感性、外傾支配性與工作績效有顯著相關，其自我導向學習傾向的主動學習、獨立學習、效率學習、學習動機、創造學習與工作績效有顯著相關。
因此本研究建議7-ELEVEN總部，針對加盟店長的遴選條件篩選，可以優先考慮五大人格特質與自我導向學習傾向，以增加遴選加盟店長的精確性。

7-ELEVEN has been running its convenience store business since 1978. In the past 30-year effort, their goal is to meet consumers’ minds and bring more convenient life. With 7-ELEVEN franchise chain masters’ developing plan, there is over 4800 stores in Taiwan this year. People who join the chain can get not only lower investment cost; but also lower operational risk. From 7-ELEVEN’s view, choosing the suitable franchise chain master before the cooperation is very important.
A number of studies proved the important relation between personality and job performance. Results stated the true score correlations varied by occupational group and criterion type (Mount & Barrick, 1998). Furthermore, based on the Deng, Yun-Lin’s research, the self-directed learning model is not only best solution for the adult education but also revealed a positive relationship with job performance. (Paul & Donald,1992) (Yu,1998)。
The study uses the theories found in reference and takes the statistical analysis from 330 franchises of 7-ELEVEN chain stores in the districts of Yunlin, Chiayi, and Tainan. Using sixty items of big-five personality dimensions that we found the significant in agreeableness,conscientiousness,emotional stability and extraversion with their job performance, and using fifty-two items of self-directed learning model (SDLRS) that we found the significant in initiative learning,independent learning,efficient learning,learning motivation and creative learning with their job performance.
Due to high significant between big-five model and SDLRS with masters’ job performance, we suggest 7-ELEVEN can use these two models to choose suitable new franchise chain masters.
