| Abstract: | This paper will examine the origins of the Taiwanese work ethic. I have chosen four major influences over the last century. I believe the largest influences on Taiwan come from China, Japan, the United States, and the Taiwan government. I will examine the Chinese influence of major philosophies and beliefs: Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism. For Japan I will look at their colonial legacy, if its influence as an early leading goose is important along with other cultural influences that could influence work. For the United States I will examine how much of an influence the economic aid and assistance had on Taiwan from 1950 to 1965. Lastly, I will look at the Kuomintang’s influence to see how much their policies affected workers in Taiwan. I will offer ten interview’s from people living in Taiwan to get some different perspectives and see what they are thinking about some of these subjects. I hope my conclusion will provide a better understanding of Taiwanese culture and its work ethic.
