本研究係探討企業社會責任對高階主管薪酬、及對高階主管薪酬與績效關聯性之影響。以員工、社會和環境構面及此三構面之綜合表現來衡量企業社會責任。研究結果顯示，企業社會責任綜合表現、員工和社會構面表現愈好之公司，對高階主管薪酬有正向顯著影響。然而，在環境構面表現良好之公司，對高階主管薪酬則有負向顯著影響。 對高階主管薪酬與績效關聯性而言，企業社會責任表現良好之公司，可有效降低代理成本，亦即減少對薪酬誘因契約之依賴；然而，亦存在企業社會責任表現良好之公司，其薪酬誘因契約之依賴程度增加之情況。本研究認為，若將企業社會責任視為提升公司競爭能力之策略，則增加薪酬誘因契約可以督促高階主管謹慎考量企業社會責任，將其與公司經營績效連結。 / This study examines the effect of corporate social responsibility on top managements’ compensation and on the relationship between top managements’ compensation and firm’s performance. Corporate social responsibility is measured by several dimensions, including employees、community、environment、and the combined performance of these three dimensions. The first empirical results show that the better the dimensions of combined performance、employees、and community are, the more the top managements’ compensation are. However, good performance in environment dimension will lead to less top managements’ compensation. The second empirical results show the effect of corporate social responsibility on the relationship between compensation and firm’s performance. If combined performance was better, agency cost would be decreased efficiently. That is, the dependence on the compensation contracts would be reduced. However, there still exists that better combined performance will cause the increase in the dependence on the compensation contracts. The reason might be if we considered corporate social responsibility a strategy reinforcing firm’s competitive ability, increase in the dependence on the compensation contracts could urge top management to link corporate social responsibility and firm’s performance tightly.

本研究參考Sloan (1993)之研究方法，以交乘項之方式研究公司特性與公司治理如何影響高階主管股票薪酬對於會計及市場績效之關聯程度。其中，公司特性包括公司成長機會、公司規模、公司風險與負債比例；而公司治理主要包括董事會特性與高階主管權力兩大構面。 研究結果發現，當公司具有高度成長機會時，會計、市場兩績效與高階主管股票薪酬之關聯程度會顯著降低。此一實證結果顯示，當公司未來具有高度成長機會時，以當期會計或市場績效指標無法充分反映經理人之投資決策經濟效果。 在公司規模方面，本研究發現公司規模愈大，會計績效與高階主管股票薪酬之關聯程度會顯著降低，但與市場績效之關聯程度則未有顯著改變。此一實證結果顯示，當公司規模愈大時，在人力資源供給有限之情況下，需要人才之能力愈高，為了留住有能力之高階主管，公司必須支付更高之基本薪酬，而降低其與績效之關聯程度。 在公司風險方面，本研究發現公司風險愈高，會計績效與高階主管股票薪酬之關聯程度會顯著提高，但與市場績效之關聯程度則會顯著降低。此一實證結果顯示，當公司風險愈高時，市場績效所包含之雜訊愈多，愈無法充分顯示高階主管的努力程度，故薪酬契約會降低高階主管股票薪酬與市場績效的關聯程度，加強會計績效所佔之比重。 在負債比率方面，本研究發現公司負債比率愈高，會計績效與高階主管股票薪酬之關聯程度會顯著提高，但與市場績效之關聯程度則未有顯著的變化。此一實證結果顯示，當公司債務投資人比重愈高，薪酬契約之訂定會加強高階主管薪酬與會計績效之關聯程度，也表示債務投資人較重視財務報表上之績效指標或者財務比率，以彰顯公司之償債能力。 在董事會規模方面，發現董事會規模愈大，高階主管股票薪酬與會計績效之關聯性會顯著降低，但與市場績效則無顯著關係。此一結果顯示，當董事會人數愈多時，董事會決策能力愈差，愈難整合所有董事之意見去訂定有效之薪酬契約以提升績效與高階主管股票薪酬之關聯性。 在經理人董事席次比例方面，發現經理人董事席次比例愈高，高階主管股票薪酬與會計績效之關聯性會顯著降低，但與市場績效則無顯著關係。此一結果顯示，當經理人同時具有董事身分，且比重愈大時，愈有可能透過自身之影響力為自某取較高的股票薪酬，降低其與會計績效之敏感程度。 在其他變數方面，獨立董事席次比率、席次控制權與盈餘分配權偏離倍數、董事長是否兼任總經理及經理人持股比率中，並未發現高階主管股票薪酬與會計、市場兩績效之關聯性會受到此四個變數之影響。

本研究透過代理理論並考量內生性因素來探討高階主管薪酬結構與企業研發支出間之關聯性。實證結果指出權益型薪酬與股票紅利佔個人總薪酬之比率均對研發支出有正向影響，此顯示出高階主管為增加股票紅利的價值，故會重視研發支出所帶來的效益，也較不會有刪減研發費用等短視行為。在股票紅利方面，當經理人持股比率越高時，其利益會和股東越趨於一致，故企業可以不用透過股份基礎報酬來減少經理人的短視行為，此論點支持利益收斂假說，因此企業應該重視經理人薪酬制度，進而設計出一套合理的薪酬制度來增加高階主管之工作誘因，並增進經理人與股東間共同的利益目標，用以減少代理問題與監督成本。 最後，本研究亦探討在2008年實施員工分紅費用化後，台灣企業是否會因應員工分紅費用化，而改變高階主管薪酬之結構。經由實證結果可知在員工分紅費用化之後，企業會因認列較多的薪資費用而降低盈餘，致使股價下跌且亦讓每股盈餘大幅稀釋，故會減少公司股份的價值，因而發放給高階主管較少之員工認股權、股票紅利與權益型之股份基礎的報酬，轉而給予較多現金基礎的報酬。 / This paper examines the interaction between corporate executive compensation structure and R&D investment decisions during year 2005 to 2008. Considering the endogenesis between compensation and R&D expenditure, that I use two–stage limited method. The empirical results indicate that the percentage of equity-based compensation and stock bonuses to total executive compensation exhibits positive influences on R&D investments, which support the hypotheses that the executives are rewarded based on changes in the stock price to induce a long-term focus on R&D investments. Besides, in respect of the percentage of stock bonuses, the result demonstrates that managerial ownership helps to align manager’s interest with the interest with of stockholder; therefore, corporations decrease the use of equity-based compensation to curb the myopic investment behavior, which supports the convergence of interest hypothesis. This suggests that corporations should design their executive compensation policy appropriately to motivate managers, and improve the alignments between managements and stockholders. Finally, the empirical results also show that after the mandating expensing of employee bonus expense in 2008, corporations recognize that equity-based compensation reduces earnings and dilutes shares price and earnings per share; thus, corporations use more cash-based compensation than equity-based compensation, such as stock option and stock bonus.

高階主管薪酬計畫與股權結構是解決公司代理問題的重要機制，代理理論提出以績效決定酬勞的制度，可提供高階主管努力誘因，促使股東與高階主管之間的目標一致；同時股權結構也會影響高階主管的努力，進而對公司的。故本研究旨在探討我國上市公司股權集中度、酬勞計畫與公司經營績效之關係，並利用模式推導相關的命題與假說。 本研究利用混合迴歸就四年度主管薪酬資料加以分析，Scheffe檢定檢驗高階主管的持股比例與薪酬計畫的關係，實證結果整理如下： １、董事長持股比例與薪酬無關，總經理持股比例與薪酬有關。 ２、公司價值與董事會持股比例呈非線性的關係。 ３、機構投資人偏向效率監督假說。 ４、總經理薪酬計畫中的項目比薪酬水準的高低重要。 ５、公司經營績效與高階主管薪酬呈正相關 / In agency theory, executive compensation contracts and ownership structures provide primary mechanisms for solving agency problems.
