Abstract

The research objectives are to identify and describe employee demographic profiles. To map the employee position structure from staff to managerial level and above. To identify the diversity of ethnic backgrounds among employees. To analyze the correlation between language and organizational structure and formulate empirical conclusions regarding the dilemma of "need vs. discrimination." Research approach: Case study with a quantitative descriptive approach. The results of this study reveal that the use of Hokkien in companies has a complex dualistic function: it serves as a business necessity for specific purposes and as a functional requirement for communication strategies. For managers, Hokkien is a language that can be used effectively as a conflict. However, when the same language is used for evaluation or promotion, it becomes a more discriminatory mechanism. Therefore, the use of Hokkien as a universal competency becomes less effective.
