碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 國家發展研究所 === 95 === In the pass, the related studies which discussed the factors of firm-provided training focused on the internal organization factors of firm, including its size, technical level, turnover rate of staff, and education level of staff and so on. It is rare to discuss this topic from the viewpoint of the external environment factors of firm. This study mainly discusses how market structure (both product market and labor market), labor demand and supply condition affect the density of firm-provided training. By merging the 2001 training investigation data provided by Council of Labor Affairs of Executive Yuan, Taiwan, the 2001 industry, commerce and service census by Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics of Executive Yuan, Taiwan and the yearbook of earnings and productivity statistics by Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics of Executive Yuan, Taiwan in 2000, I have 6,466 samples and then use the Tobit model for the regression analysis. This study discovered as follows: 1. The concentration of product market has a positive and significant effect to the density of firm-provided training; 2. The concentration of labor market has a negative and significant effect to the density of firm-provided training; 3. The shortage of labor has a positive and significant effect to the density of firm-provided training.
