本研究的目的在探討新竹科學園區中積體電路產業勞動力市場行為與產業發展之間的關係。藉由問卷與深入訪談，建立一個流動型勞力市場的圖像。在垂直分工並且高度聚集的產業體系環境中，結合員工的無邊界生涯發展所建構的綿密社會網絡，員工以及附身的技術在園區中擴散開來。這種流動性一方面可以協助工作瓶頸的解決，另一方面，更重要的，有效地整合分工體系中的上下游廠商，以利於整個體系的生產彈性。然而，這樣的勞力市場具有鎖死在特定技術的危險，而透過矽谷回流人才的技術轉移，使園區仍能不斷維持研發能力。最後，通過一個初步比較，分析做為後進工業地域的高科技勞力市場與核心地區的矽谷之間的異同，並總結兩地的差異提供了一個互補合作的基礎。

The research aims to tackle the issue of the interaction between the labor market activities and high-technology development in the Hsinchu Science-based Industrial Park (HSIP). By use of questionnaire and in-depth interview, a configuration of a fluid labor market is painted. Under the circumstance of agglomerated vertically-disintegrated industrial system, the intensive social networks constructed by employee's boundaryless career will render the embodied technology diffusion easy. The fluidity, on the one hand, helps solve bottleneck in the production process, and more importantly, on the other, help integrate the division of labor among the cooperating firms, and thus enhance the flexibility of the industrial system. However, some contradictions co-exist with the fluid labor market. One of them is the concern of the obsolete technology lock-in of the system. Thanks to the innovations transferred by Silicon Valley returnees, the industrial system is able to escape from the trap of close system. Finally, a brief comparison between the labor market activities in the HSIP and those in Silicon Valley is raised. By doing so, it illustrates the possibility of cooperation between the two high-technology regions.
