Summary:碩士 === 國立雲林科技大學 === 工業工程與管理研究所碩士班 === 91 === In recent years, the emphasis of human rights has a trend around the world. As a result, the goal of high-profit was considered reasonable in the past and is criticized as improper profit today for exploiting labor rights. Therefore, it has been bear in mind that a corporation should have the concept of social responsibility. For the above reasons, the standard of Social Responsibility (SA 8000) was developed by the Social Accountability International in August 1997. SA 8000 is used to evaluate the social responsibility performance of an enterprise and can be a reference of the consumers and investors. The trend of paying much attention on labor’s human rights will become an important objective of business management. And, how to keep balance on enterprise profit and the human rights are the key factors to survive for every enterprise. The research is based on nine phases of SA8000, the code of conduct and the system of the human rights to develop a structural questionnaire. The questionnaire investigates the importance recognition of SA8000 and the general implementing situation of the shoemakers in Taiwan. According to this research, several conclusions are reached as showed in the followings: 1. There is no significant difference among China, Vietnam and the other countries regarding to the importance recognition of SA8000. The recognition of the implementation degree of the SA 8000 is mostly the same. 2. There are significant differenced between the corporations whose clients have and have not demanded to carry out the code of conduct (i.e. the system of the human rights). 3. It is suggested that a corporation had better to carry out the code of conduct (i.e. the system of the human rights) before carrying out SA8000. And, it would be best to carry out the local law of workers before carrying out the code of conduct (i.e. the system of the human rights).
