The international salary competitiveness of university teachers is the key element in recruiting and retaining outstanding talents. However, even developed countries have frequently faced the challenge of brain drain due to perceived low salary of university teachers. Thus, in response to the intense global competition, countries worldwide, including Taiwan, have profoundly deliberated on how to improve teacher salary system through reforms in the personnel structure. This study examined the reform of faculty remuneration system in developed countries, the experience of which could serve as a reference for improving related policies in Taiwan. The targeted countries were compared regarding the background of the university faculty remuneration system reform, as well as the reform directions and specific approaches, to determine reference schemes suitable for Taiwan.
