本研究以調查在全球化浪潮下，台灣之外籍大學教授所具備的跨文化效能為主題，以期充實本地之全球師資跨文化效能底線資料庫，進而提昇高等教育的品質，強化台灣全球競爭力。此外，從國內外學者文獻中，以Han(1997)對於跨文化效能理論為研究基礎，介紹韓必霽博士的五大跨文化效能學說；而對於高等教育國際化理論及台灣高等教育國際化的現況，亦以國外學者學說及教育部的官方資料作理論與實務之介紹。本研究對國內各大學之外籍教授以便利抽樣方式進行問卷調查，用MANOVA及ANOVA實證分析為工具，針對各教授之性別、年齡、學歷、學術主修、生長地、在台工作時間、語言能力、有否接受過跨文化訓練、來台前之工作型態及經驗、以及未來生涯之展望、來台前之異文化工作及生活經驗等變項與跨文化五大效能做交叉分析。根據分析結果推演，發現學術主修及生長地對於外籍教授的跨文化效能影響最大；而受跨文化訓練與否、來台前之工作型態及經驗、以及未來生涯之展望、來台前之異文化工作及生活經驗等變項對於外籍教授的跨文化效能亦呈現顯著的影響，最後結論則針對台灣之高等教育國際化向各大學的人資部門、政府及後續研究者提出建言。 The topic of this research is to investigate the intercultural effectiveness (ICE) competence for the international faculty in Taiwan, expecting to enhance the ICE baseline data for Taiwan’s global faculty and lifting the competition of Taiwan’s higher education.
