The current trend in modern society is corporate citizens now have a job of carrying out social responsibilities. Globalization of the labor market has also influenced the business operations of companies as well as the structure of their human resources. Corporation employees are becoming increasingly more diverse, such as differences in nationality, ethnicity, females as well as employees with mental or physical disabilities. Differences among employees in age, gender, culture, education levels, values, and other factors have all caused companies to change their management.. Therefore, the primary goal of this study is to investigate the current situations of diversity management in Taiwan, which already have been disclosed in reports about the social responsibilities of Taiwanese corporations, and analyze the situation with the measurement index of KLD Research and Analytics. Research analysis obtained results that support the hypotheses, as listed below: For the diversity management variables found in regards to the company’s size (total assets and number of employees), more company employees will have a significant positive influence on diversity management. Furthermore, when companies have higher percentages of government investment in their company stocks there was significant positive influence on diversity management. A company’s profitability (earnings per share (EPS), revenue growth) did not have significant influence on diversity management. Based on empirical results, it was found that emphasis from Taiwanese corporations and companies on diversity management is weak, and most management measures implemented by corporations are because of government regulations.
