  • 隨著近年來勞工意識的抬頭,越來越多在中國工作的人了解並堅持需要一份更完善的勞工合同來保護自己,因此,中國政府於2008年1月1日實施中國勞動合同法,其用意不僅僅在於改善勞工的福利及保障勞工的權益,更重要的是弭平近年來勞資雙方對立所造成的社會緊張之關係。然而,勞動合同法的實施,畢竟會對外商投資的產業及公司帶來不可避免的衝擊,特別是挾帶的相似文化背景及相近地理位置而大舉投資中國的台灣。
    本篇論文研究中國勞動合同法對於台灣上市公司財務結構所造成之影響,並從公司的成本、投資及獲利能力三個層面來做探討,其中成本方面係以自行計算之每人用人費用作為測量單位,也是第一個使用此單位作為研究之論文。實證方法上,藉由動態GMM模型及加入虛擬變數所進行之參數估計,發現中國勞動合同法對於台灣上市公司每人用人費用有著正效果,對於台灣上市公司在中國大陸投資金額並無效果,以及對於台灣上市公司獲利能力有著負效果。最後並發現,相較於其他產業,中國勞動合同法對於勞力密集等電子代工產業所產生的效果更加顯著。

    More and more people working in China realize and insist that they should be protected by a well-established contract law as employed in recent years. China government finally implemented a Labor Contract Law on January 1st, 2008, which attempt not only to improve employees’ benefits and securities by original labor law, but also to ease off the social instability resulted from the conflict between employers and employees. The implementation of Labor Contract Law must bring some inevitable impact on the companies or industries invested by Taiwan through the advantage of similar cultural and closed geographic location.
    In the use of system GMM model and panel data from annual consolidated financial reports of all listed companies in Taiwan across 2005 to 2011, this paper mainly examines the impact of China’s Labor Contract Law on financial structure of listed companies in Taiwan through three specifications: cost, investment, and profitability. The measurement for cost is calculated as personnel expense divided by total employees number, which is also the first research paper using this unit as measurement. The empirical results show that the impact is strongly positive to cost, unknown impact on investment, and strongly negative to profitability. Finally, the empirical results also reveal that the impact of China’s Labor Contract Law would be much stronger in labor intensive industries.
