摘要

人口結構與組織績效間的關聯性為何，在組織人口學的研究領域裡，尚無定論。為了進一步瞭解這類問題，本研究採用資產報酬率、經濟生產力與價格－成本邊際此三個衡量績效的指標，對台灣企業的人口結構、人口流動與組織績效三者間的關係，做一個探索性的研究。結果發現：(1)．年資結構型態與組織績效無關，但年齡結構為金字塔形的組織，其績效比菱形的組織佳。(2)．無論是年齡結構或年資結構型態對組織績效的影響，均未受到人員流動的干擾而有所改變，此結果肯定了人口結構對組織績效的直接效果。

Despite the large amount of extensive research on organizational demography, there has been a lack of conclusive evidence concerning the effects of organizational demography on performance outcomes. This study uses three different measures of performance-return on assets, economic productivity index, and price-cost margin-to investigate the relationships among organizational demography, employee turnover, and performance. Analysis of data from over 6,000 firms suggest that (1). Seniority configuration is unrelated to performance, but performance of the pyramidal organization is higher than diamond for age structure (2). the effects of age and seniority structure on performance do not seem to disappear even after turnover rate is introduced as a intervening variable, suggesting a robust direct effect of organizational demography on performance.
