摘要

本文為「客家社會口述訪談：台灣客家企業（家）訪談計畫」的部分成果，該計畫於 2005 年 5 月到 11 月進行訪談，共完成 24 個台灣客家企業主之個案紀錄。本文的分析以客家族群因素在企業經營的作用為軸線，通過企業主對「錢」的運用來分析兩者之間的關係。本研究發現其金錢運用的方式與過去的研究發現有相似性：客家族群因素的角色不如業主個人所建立的資源來得重要，在所分析的幾個經濟變項的思考上，「是不是客家人」並沒有被視為重要的考慮因素，不論是創業或企業周轉所需的資金籌措，企業盈餘的運用，還是在面臨借錢給人或替人作保的考慮時，都沒有充分的證據說明客家族群因素曾經發生重要的作用。在客家人對錢的觀念方面，本文以企業主個人對錢的態度和他對客家族群作為一個整體的印象作對照，結果發現客家企業主與一般客家族群對錢的觀念有所不同，可能是客家企業主有別於一般客家族群之處。

This article is part of a big project: “The Exploring of Taiwan Hakka Entrepreneur.” This is one of several projects supported by the Hakka Affairs Council, Administrative Yuan. The “Exploring” Project is carried out by the College of Hakka Studies, National Central University. The research group interviewed 24 valid cases; most of them are the members of Taipei Hakka Rotary Club, from May to November, 2005. We have several concerns in this big project, and the foundlings will be presented in different papers. In this paper, the main concern is the relationship between ethnic characters and the ways of managing money in the Hakkanese business. Based on our interview data, ethnic variable didn’t play any significant effect on the ways of managing money. This is similar to previous studies on Hakka traditional industry–tea industry in the north part of Taiwan. In this article, no matter the raise of founding money or enterprise turnover needs, lending money to someone or considering as a guarantor of financial loan, there is no place for ethnic variable. In the last, for the attitude of managing money, the interviewee said they are different from the Hakka people in general, perhaps this would be a reason why they can be entrepreneurs.
