However, in the practice of elevating entrepreneurship, there were few researches of whether the organization would insist on implementing the strategy of entrepreneurship, or the researches of determining factors about whether middle-level executives would continue taking actions of entrepreneurship. However, the willingness of middle-level executives to take actions of entrepreneurship was usually influenced by their job satisfaction, which would further make distinct effects on organizational and individual innovative capability. Therefore, this research mainly discussed the relationships among perception of corporate entrepreneurship environment, job satisfaction and innovativeness of middle-level executives from Taiwan Sugar Corporation (TSC). This research adopted multivariate statistical analysis to discuss the predictive ability of corporate entrepreneurship on job satisfaction and innovativeness of TSC’s middle-level executives. This research gained following empirical results from 322 subjects of middle-level executives from TSC: 1.The entrepreneurship perception of company environment from middle-level executives in public enterprise had significant influence on job satisfaction; 2. The job satisfaction from middle-level executives in public enterprise had significantly positive influence on company’s ability of entrepreneurship; 3. The entrepreneurship perception of company environment from middle-level executives in public enterprise had significantly positive influence on company’s ability of entrepreneurship and 4. The working satisfaction from middle-level executives in public enterprise had mediating effects on entrepreneurship perception of company environment and organizational innovative ability. Individual perception in middle-level executives’ actions of entrepreneurship and satisfaction were key factors of expression of organizational or individual innovative ability. Hence, after enhancing the relationship between TMT and middle-level executives, the TMT would emphasize development of innovative ability more, and lead a more positive development for enterprise. Only through elevating trust between the two parties would they realize the responsibility and obligation they should take, and thus, the promotion and implementation of entrepreneurship actions and implementation would result in greater performance.
