摘要

過去實證研究指出職業運動中薪資結構與團隊績效存在相關性，但鮮有研究探討薪資結構與團隊績效之因果關係。本研究主要探討中華職業棒球聯盟中薪資結構與團隊績效之因果關係。方法：樣本期間共蒐集中華職棒自2005年至2014年間10個賽季，4支球隊的資料，包含球隊每年的總薪資、球員年薪（以衡量球隊薪資級距之離散程度）、勝率與勝場數的追蹤資料（Panel Data），並利用Panel Granger因果關係檢定，分析中華職棒薪資結構與團隊績效之因果關係。結果：中華職棒中薪資結構對團隊績效具單向之因果關係，反之則無。此外，結果亦顯示薪資總額對團隊績效並無顯著的因果關係。結論：在中華職棒中，高額的團隊總薪資並無法使球隊獲得勝利，但球員薪資結構的調整對團隊績效卻能有所提升。

Past empirical studies have pointed out that there is a correlation between salary structure and team performance in professional sports, but few studies have explored the causal relationship between salary structure and team performance. This study mainly explores the causal relationship between salary structure and team performance in the Chinese Professional Baseball League. Method: During the sample period, a total of 10 seasons of China Professional Baseball from 2005 to 2014 were collected for 4 teams, including the total annual salary of the team, the annual salary of the players (to measure the degree of dispersion of the team salary scale), and the winning rate Tracking data with the number of wins (Panel Data), and using the Panel Granger causality test to analyze the causal relationship between the Chinese professional baseball salary structure and team performance. Result: The salary structure in the Chinese professional baseball has a one-way causal relationship to team performance, but not vice versa. In addition, the results also show that there is no significant causal relationship between total salary and team performance. Conclusion: In the Chinese professional baseball, a high total team salary does not make the team win, but the adjustment of the player's salary structure can improve the team's performance.
