職業高原是個人在目前組織的一種職業生涯狀態，職業高原現象在現代企業中普遍存在。本論文使用探索性調查方法，研究台灣外資藥廠從業人員的職業高原現象，並探討台灣外資藥廠從業人員不同個人特質(性別、年齡、婚姻狀況、教育程度、任職公司之服務年資、目前職位、目前職位之工作年資等)在職業高原認知之差異情形。
本研究以滾雪球抽樣方式共發放373份問卷，總計回收310份有效問卷，有效回收率為83.10%。再用SPSS 19.0統計分析相關數據。透過敘述性統計、信度分析、因素分析、卡方分析及變異數分析等方法進行分析，其主要研究結果如下：
1. 職業高原獲得大多數台灣外資藥廠從業人員的認同，其中內容高原較為明顯。
2. 性別、教育程度與職位年資均與職業高原的程度有顯著關聯性。研究結果顯示，台灣外資藥廠從業人員的人口統計變項以男性、教育程度為大學(含學院)、職位年資為2-5年等，具有較高程度的職業高原。
3. 不同年齡的受訪者在層級高原有顯著差異，且26~35歲的受訪者在層級高原的知覺上高於46歲以上的受訪者。
4. 不同目前職位之工作年資的受訪者在層級高原上有顯著差異，且目前職位之年資未滿2年的受訪者在層級高原的認知高於目前職位之年資6年以上的受訪者。
