中文摘要

在國際人力資源管理文獻中，海外子公司一般外派人員或一般管理人員之國際任用政策，雖已逐漸受到關注，然而在子公司高階主管的派任議題探討上仍少。本研究以代理理論觀點，探討公司專屬因素與地主國環境因素兩個構面，對多國籍企業子公司高階主管任用決策之影響。以外商在台子公司爲研究對象，經由問卷調查，以迴歸分析59份回收問卷，實證結果發現：一、子公司成立年數愈久，子公司高階主管任用愈傾向由地主國人員擔任；二、子公司資源愈豐富，子公司高階主管任用愈傾向由母國人員擔任；三、子公司績效愈佳，子公司高階主管任用愈傾向由地主國人員擔任；四、文化距離愈大，子公司高階主管任用愈傾向由母國人員擔任。
英文摘要

Although expatriation receives substantial attention in literatures of international human resource management, empirical research on the determinants of executive staffing is still relatively scarce. This study extends agency theory to explain the determinants of the utilization rates of parent nationals in high positions of overseas subsidiaries. Empirical evidence derived from analysis of 59 MNCs subsidiaries in Taiwan by regression. The empirical findings indicate that age of subsidiary increases the propensity to appoint the host country nationals. Resource of subsidiary increases the probability that expatriates will be appointed. Subsidiary performance increases the propensity to appoint the host country nationals. Culture Distance increases the probability that expatriates will be appointed.
