Abstract：Mainland China's reform and opening-up has been more than 30 years since 1979. At the same time, due to Taiwan's industrial labor costs rising, many second industrial enterprises for reducing the production costs have moved production bases to Mainland China, in order to get more profit. Mainland China and Taiwan share a common language and culture. At present, expatriate employees from Taiwan still are the major core managers in Taiwan-capital enterprises. The study aims of this paper were through empirical analysis to explore difference analysis results of questionnaire scales for Taiwan expatriates working in different industries, and to determine the significant association relationship between burnout, leisure coping strategies and perceived freedom in leisure. The study samples were Taiwan expatriates working at Taiwan-capital enterprises in Guangzhou city. The sample survey locations were eight administrative areas in Guangzhou city that Taiwan-capital enterprises were relatively centralized. The major study results of this paper indicated that:(1)Burnout has a negative and significant association relationship with perceived freedom in leisure, but it has a positive and significant association relationship with leisure coping strategies.(2)Besides having a positive and significant association relationship with perceived freedom in leisure, leisure coping strategies mediates the influence of burnout on perceived freedom in leisure.(3) Compared with Taiwan expatriates in the areas that labor-intensive enterprise or enterprises having a not sound system were relatively clustered.
