| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 勞工研究所 === 86 === Since the Labor Standards Law (LSL) extended its coverage on December 6th, 1996, it has evoked enthusiastic discussion on many aspects; but most of them concentrated on the contents of the revised regulations or review of industrial relations. This study discusses the impact of LSL on the Will-be-covered tourist hotels.
The impact is analyzed by investigating 45 tourist hotels in Taiwan through questionnaire.We emphasize on the effects of labor cost and management flexibiliy caused by the extension of the LSL, and evaluate managers'' adjustment strategies. The statistical tools of chi-square, T-test, One-way ANOVA and OLS are adopted.
Important findings are the following:the regulations of retirement pension and over-time wage affect the hotels'' labor cost the most. The hotels with small capital, relative to those with large capital, think that retirement pension will increase because of the LSL. The results of OLS show that the tourist hotels with more workers will have a lower proportion of the cost increase.
Cocerning the management flexibility, the constraint that over-time working must be approved by workers or labor union is significant, while the constraint of national holidays is insignificant. However, the hotels with fewer years of eatablishment think that national holidays should be vacation has a bigger influence. The existence of labor union influences some viewpoints, specifically, the hotels with labor union think that the constraints of weekly work haurs and overtime hours have relatively smaller influence.
As for the adjustment strategies, no hotels consider to reduce hiring female workers, employ foreign labors, or invest overseas. But most hotels adopt strategies that can decrease labor cost. It illustrates that increasing cost is the toughest challenge for those hotels surveyed. These measures can be divided into the adjustment of management system intensifying communication between employer and employee, and the application of flexible working time. The latter includes hiring more temporay workers, dismissing some workers, and hiring fewer middle-aged workers.
