任用需求對多國企業子公司高階主管任用決策之影響

多國企業在國內及海外設立了許多不同之分公司，這些國外的分公司又稱為海外子公司。海外子公司除了在設備及資金上的投資外，人才任用對於海外子公司之經營更是重要。本研究將任用決策分為兩種：第一種任用的決策，就是任用母國外派人員，將其外派到子公司，來擔任高階主管；第二種任用的決策，就是任用地主國員工，直接擔任子公司當地的高階主管。本研究以多國企業主管為主要填答者，以紙本問卷及網路問卷方式進行，共回收80份有效問卷。問卷經由編碼後進行統計分析，先進行信效度分析後再進行相關分析、迴歸分析來探討變數間關係，以驗證本研究之假設。本研究根據不同的任用需求，會有不同的任用決策。研究結果顯示，多國企業當地連結需求與地主國級員工任用有正向關係。換言之，多國企業對地主國之當地連結需求愈高，愈會任用地主國籍員工擔任子公司高階主管。由於當地員工對地主國之文化、法令與規範較為熟悉，較適宜任用當地員工擔任子公司高階主管。

Multinational companies establish a number of different branches at their home countries and overseas. Those foreign subsidiaries are also known overseas subsidiaries. In addition to investments in subsidiaries’ capital and equipment, personnel assignments are an important issue for overseas subsidiaries’ operation. There are two alternatives in top management staffing decision in this study. The first alternative is the assignment of parent country nationals. The other alternative is the assignment of host country nationals. The study chose managers in MNCs as respondents. Following by conducting a questionnaire survey by paper and internet, 80 questionnaires are valid. Reliability and validity tests, correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to examine relationships among variables and verify the hypotheses of this study. In the study, according to the different needs of multinational corporations, there would be different staffing decisions. The results show that there is a positive relationship between local linkage-need and the assignment of host country nationals. In other words, higher local linkage-need of a MNC is associated with a higher tendency to recruit nationals as subsidiary managers. Since local employees are familiar with host country culture, laws and norms, it is appropriate to assign host country nationals to be top manager in subsidiaries.
