This research is conducted by research method – citation analysis and in-depth interview. First of all, identify related theories through reading books, documentations, articles etc. These materials will then be used to design the interview content. The interview is in semi-structural format and there are a total of 10 interviews completed.
The research findings are:
1. Taiwanese migrant workers choose to work in Macau mostly because the salary range is comparatively higher than other Asia countries / cities, and the living cost there is in a reasonable standard. Besides, Macau is geographically no far from Taiwan. With having similar cultural and social background, the cost and risk will be lower for choosing Macau to be the destination.
2. Economics factor is the main reason for being migrant workers. Besides from this, emotional factors, job opportunities etc. are also considerations that affect their decisions.
3. Economics environment and employment rate in Taiwan are the core elements affecting career planning of Taiwanese migrant workers. The second most reason are the opportunities and promotion chances that can be provided by companies in Macau. And the last reason is emotional factors.
4. Most of the Taiwanese migrant workers (interviewees) did not have a clear career plan, may be because most of them just started their career life and are still developing. With increasing in their working experience, their willingness of going back to work in Taiwan will decrease. Instead, they prefer to stay in Macau in long term or seek for opportunities from other places.
