本研究的目的在調查台商企業派駐中國大陸之台籍經理人跨文化效能，進而建立底線資料庫(Baseline data)。所謂跨文化效能是一種跨越文化的成功或能力。Han(1997)將跨文化效能歸結為五項能力，包括：溝通能力、處理心理壓力的能力、關係建立的能力、文化同理心的能力、跨文化察覺能力。本研究引用Han(1997)所歸結的五項跨文化效能之能力，將其所設計之英文版量表再修訂成本研究之中文問卷，以台商企業派駐中國大陸之台籍經理人為主要研究對象，藉由SPSS統計軟體之MANOVA分析法進行實證分析。 本研究所得之結果發現，在整體五項跨文化效能中，台商企業派駐中國大陸之台籍經理人的溝通能力表現最弱，仍有待加強；在人口統計變項方面，台商企業派駐中國大陸之台籍經理人的教育程度與語言能力，對其整體跨文化效能呈現顯著差異；在情境變項方面，台商企業派駐中國大陸之台籍經理人的公司規模、所在位階、過去是否具有外派經驗、外派職務角色、國際經驗來源、外國居留經驗、是否擁有外國同學（僚）或友人，對其整體跨文化效能呈現顯著差異。 藉由台商企業派駐中國大陸之台籍經理人跨文化效能底線資料庫的建立，本研究得以檢視台商企業派駐中國大陸之台籍經理人的跨文化效能，並探討影響其跨文化效能之因素，藉以提供台商企業人力資源管理部門在培訓派駐中國大陸之台籍經理人訓練需求評析(Training Needs Assessment; TNA)之參考資料。 The purpose of this study was to investigate Intercultural Effectiveness Competencies (ICE) of Taiwanese expatriates working for Taiwanese corporations in China and build the Baseline Data of Taiwanese expatriates working for Taiwanese corporations in China. ICE has been called cross-cultural competence and cross-cultural success.

The main population was Taiwanese expatriates working for Taiwanese corporations in China. The sample data were analyzed with the SPSS software package and were submitted to MANOVA procedures corresponding to each hypothesis.
The results of this study: 1. As a whole of ICE, the performance of communication competence in Taiwanese expatriates working for Taiwanese corporations in China was relatively inferior to other competences. 2. In demographic variables, educational level and language proficiency of Taiwanese expatriates working for Taiwanese corporations in China was significantly related to ICE. 3. In situational variables, corporations scale、position、expatriate experiences、role-based、international experiences、foreign residence experiences、foreign classmates/ associates/friends of Taiwanese expatriates working for Taiwanese corporations in China was significantly related to ICE.
The main contributions of this study which investigated ICE of Taiwanese expatriates working for Taiwanese corporations in China and discussed effect factors by building ICE Baseline data, in order to offer reference about Training Needs Assessment for Human Resources department of Taiwanese corporations to train the expatriates working in China.
