Issues concerning the management of state-owned enterprises for green energy transition - taking Taiwan Power Corporation as an example

Abstract

This study explores the management issues of green energy transition in state-owned enterprises The company fulfills its green energy corporate social responsibility（GECSR） by Taiwan Power Corporation（Taipower） which can affect employees’ commitment to the organization（OC） Simultaneously supervisors adopt transformational leadership（TL） to reduce frontline employees’ resistance for organizational changing Through a survey based on the effective sample of 232 for Taipower and the results showed that partly hypotheses are supported If TPC implements GECSR's policies it will effectively enhance employees’ commitment to the organization However organizational commitment cannot reduce employees’ resistance to organizational changes（or energy changes） If we divided the samples into two groups: the first group is the basic staff of Taipower（composed of technicians engineers and section managers） and the other one is the senior managers of Taipower (composed of department managers or above) We can find the organizational commitment is significantly negative related to change resistance for senior managers but it isn’t for the basic staff Finally the study points out that transformational leadership will reversely regulate two variables between organizational commitment（OC）and resistance to change（RC） Therefore if the managers of Taipower adopt transformational leadership to their subordinates they will get a counter effect from the subordinates
