A Study of Approaches to Enhancing Workforce Flexibility for Taiwan Companies
Listed in Harvard Dataverse
An empirical study on Taiwan large companies was conducted to examine the flexibility of their human resource management practices.
Description
Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. A sample of one hundred companies was randomly selected from the largest one thousand manufacturers in Taiwan, and sixty-two of them responded to the survey.
Analyses have been made based on the nine factors emerged from the data. The results of t-tests showed that smaller companies (less than 500 employees) have significantly larger pay ranges and that younger companies (less than 25 years)are more likely to promote result-oriented policies .Implications discussed in terms of organizational flexibility. Organizational flexibility has been viewed as a characteristic of an organization that makes it less vulnerable for or puts it in a better position to respond successfully to unforeseen environmental change.

As organizations strive to remain competitive in a time when economics are tight in the global marketplace, flexibility is often perceived as a necessary goal if the organization is to survive. Workforce flexibility is one important dimension of the organizational flexibility. The securing of greater flexibility has been identified by commentators as a central component of human resource management.
However, researchers have faced the conceptual and empirical problems in that some sources of flexibility self- evidently stand in contradiction to one another and that there are no consistent empirical data to support the growth of flexibility. The objective with this project is to gain an understanding of the causes of inter-firm variation in workforce flexibility and of the impact of workforce flexibility on performance of organizations.
We hope to identify certain flexible practices in human resource management that are correlated with the overall success of the company.
