Not only using structural questionnaire via SPSS 17 to analyze variables from results and data, but also discussing the relation among role cognitive structure, territorial behavior at workspace, and substantial territories. The followings are the major findings and conclusions. (1) The territorial behavior at workspace varies obviously due to close/distant cognition of role cognitive structure and indicates a ranking phenomenon from close/distance relation.
