The impact of business environment, business characteristic, business strategy, and human resources management strategy on operation performance ¡V An empirical study of the securities investment trust industry in Taiwan

Securities investment trust industry was in fact an oligarchy in Taiwan. Under the restriction of governmental regulation, there were only China(¤¤µØ), International(°ê»Ú), Abn-Amro (¥úµØ), and National(«Ø¥°) securities company in existence before 1992. As the development of global financial liberalization going and the effort of government trying to join WTO, domestic financial policy is growing wide open. The threshold for the establishment of securities investment trust corporation company has been constantly adjusted since 1995; moreover, the qualification for being a shareholder of securities investment trust corporation company is loosen. The possibility of establishing securities investment trust corporation company with 100% foreign funds or domestic funds has attracted national and international corporations to establish investment trust corporation company in Taiwan. There were a total of thirty-eight (38) investment trust corporation companies in Taiwan by the end of 1999.
A fund management company must be a financial institute that is stable and capable of providing investors with long-term profits. However, the newly born domestic securities investment trust corporation company has indeed grown rapidly but learned from the hard way too. The turnover rate of management is beyond imagination. According to the statistics of Investment/Trust and Investment Consulting Association, managing director of securities investment trust corporation company lasts for only 16 months in general up to 1999. In fact, there are only six (6) managing directors with a seniority of two (2) years that responsible for fund management amounts to NT$774.2 billion. The rapid growth of securities investment trust corporation company has reinforced the need of securities investment and trust company for professional managers; therefore, competition is brutal, turnover rate of employment is high, and operational risk is severe. The securities investment trust corporation industry relies its operation heavily on ¡§talents.¡¨ No matter it is for the promotion of fund business or the management of fund assets, it is done by ¡§people.¡¨ Therefore, the number of people and the quality of talents do affect operation and business performance; therefore, the importance of human resources management strategy goes without saying.
Securities investment trust corporation industry in Taiwan will be discussed in this study with a focus on the impact of business environment, business characteristic, business strategy, and human resources management strategy on operation performance. Interviews will be conducted in accordance with the content of questionnaire; also, research hypothesis will be verified through statistical analysis.
It is concluded from research result that there is a significant relation existed between business environment and business strategy; also, business capabilities and business strategy; and business culture and leadership. There is a significant positive relation between the application of ¡§human resources management strategy¡¨ and ¡§investment differential strategy,¡¨ ¡§number of workers,¡¨ ¡§information control,¡¨ and ¡§number of beneficiaries.¡¨ On the contrary, there is a significant negative relation between ¡§the establishment of branch office¡¨ and ¡§human resources management strategy.¡¨ If all variables do comply with human resources management strategy, operation performance could be upgraded. Moreover, once securities investment trust corporation company adopts ¡§investment differentiation strategy,¡¨ the application of ¡§human resources management strategy¡¨ will be with an orientation of ¡§accumulative¡¨ strategy. Once investment and trust company starts establishing branch office, in other words, once organizational operation is in a larger scale, the adoption of ¡§human resources management strategy¡¨ will be with an orientation of ¡§accumulative¡¨ strategy. It is also concluded from the study that a securities company with business capabilities outperforms the one without.
Recommendation is made to securities investment trust corporation company in accordance with research result regarding the importance of human resources department or unit. At the time of drafting up human resources management strategy, it is important to give it a thorough and complete consideration and match it up to organizational business strategy in order to regulate appropriate human resources management strategy and to improve organizational performance. Moreover, the management should strive to develop the core competitiveness of company and to control its competitive advantages. We would like to suggest the successors to exercise multiple criteria for performance evaluation; also, to expand the scope of research in order to improve research value.
