海外投資行為以資本形式在國際間行之有年，「台灣接單、海外出貨」是在短時間內就達到無法忽視的地步，至今仍是熱潮不減，但海外操作也引發對勞動雇用之疑慮。本文將以經濟部民國九十一年度發行的原始資料為實證研究對象，資料綜合「製造業廠商對外投資實況調查」以及「外銷訂單調查」，使用ordered logistic迴歸模型為實證工具，探究廠商海外操作會對製造部門、研發部門雇用的影響。本文結論為：海外投資在大陸、海外出貨在大陸，皆會降低國內製造部門雇用意願，廠商進行國際分工時，會把製造與研發分離，反而強化台灣研發功能，故海外投資地在大陸、海外出貨在大陸，會對國內研發部門雇用意願有所增加。 Foreign investment operates as capital forms among nations for years. The phenomenon of “onshore order receiving and offshore outsourcing” blooms rapidly and conspicuously. Even now, this expansion still goes on. However, foreign maneuver induces the controversial issue of labor employment. This study conducts analysis on the primary data issued by Ministry of Economic Affairs in 2002. The data extracted from the survey of “foreign investment in manufacturing industry” and ”export orders statistics”. Utilizing ordered logistic regression model as an empirical tool, the study intended to investigate the effect of foreign maneuver on the employment of manufacturing and R&D sectors. The conclusions revealed that both foreign investment and foreign outsourcing in Mainland China may reduce the desire for employment of domestic manufacturing sector. When companies implement international division of labor, they tend to separate manufacturing and R&D sectors into two parts. This arrangement reinforces the function of the R&D sector of companies in Taiwan. Therefore, foreign investment and foreign outsourcing in Mainland China may increase the desire for employment of domestic R&D sector.
