摘要 Abstract
本文從家庭策略的顴點探討家庭企業內女主人榮動參與撰揮的影響因素。作者利用一個全島性的抽樣調查中335個家庭企業樣本的資料,根據新古典經濟學派奠基於資本主羲生産模式的利潤極大化的家庭經濟策略,分析小型家庭企業女主人榮動參與撰揮機制。分析結果發現家庭企業的生産組織、家庭組織、勞動市場及人力資本因素會影髻家庭企業女主人的勞動參輿撰擇:企業工作性質偏向女性特質、家庭結構爲擴展家庭、有學齡前子女或企業的場住家時,女主人較可能在企業內就業。而外在勞動市場的就業機會則對於女主人在家庭以外就業有正面影響,教育程度較高的女主人傾向於出外就業及不就業的兩極化選擇。此外,個人的性別角色熊度傾向自主的,無論在家庭企業內或企業外的就業機率都含提高。
研究結果指出新古典經濟學派的利潤極大化的家庭經濟策略只能部分解釋企業女主人的勞動參與機制。本研究業討論台灣小型家庭企業採取存活經濟策略而非利潤極大化策略的可能性,指出在台灣家庭企業的特殊經濟臟絡下,存活經濟策略對於女主人的勞動參與選擇可能有較大的解釋力。後續的研究可進一步系統化的比較不同的家庭經濟策略與女性勞動參與或經濟地位之關係。

The author uses results from a survey of 335 small businesses owned and operated by families across Taiwan to examine mechanisms underlying the labor-force participation of owners' wives. The family strategies consistent with the principle of maximum profit within a capitalist economy serve as the basis for analyzing the marginal utility of wives' labor-force status and to test hypotheses regarding their labor-force participation determinants. The findings indicate that participation status is shaped by a combination of production organization, family organization, labor market and human capital factors. Wives are more likely to work in family businesses when labor processes focus on tasks considered as commonly executed by females, when their families have extended family structures, when they have preschool-aged children, and when business location and dwelling space are the same or very close. Labor market opportunities exert a positive effect on their working outside of family businesses. Wives with higher levels of education tend to either work outside of family businesses or to stay as housewives. Those wives with egalitarian attitudes toward gender roles tend to work both inside and outside of their family businesses. Combined, the findings suggest that the labor force participation of bosses' wives is only partly explained by the maximum-profit family-strategy. The author discusses an alternative explanation of an economic survival strategy versus the maximum-profit strategy.
