Human Resource Role In Work-Life Balance: A Case Of High Technology Knowledge Workers In Taiwan

Abstract

This case involves the problems that young people in Taiwan are facing in high tech companies. Employees are spending many hours in their jobs and making high salaries as a result, but their social lives are suffering greatly. This paper examines the relationship between the work and social life of young Taiwanese workers in high tech firms. Although salaries and compensation packages are high, the social lives of these workers have diminished greatly. This study provides a comprehensive viewpoint from the perspective of an employee within the Human Resource department of one of these companies.
