调查比较了日本、欧洲和美国跨国公司在海外管理岗位中任用外派人员而非当地人的政策，发现民族中心主义的人事安排与更多国际人力资源管理问题相关，日本公司尤为突出。
Abstract This article presents the results of a survey comparing international human resource policies and practices in Japanese, European, and United States multinational companies. The survey focused on the use of expatriates over local nationals in overseas management positions, adoption of nonethnocentric policies, and incidence of international human resource management problems. Regression analysis using the entire sample indicated that ethnocentric staffing and policies are associated with higher incidence of international human resource management problems. Also, Japanese companies as a group are shown to have more ethnocentric staffing practices and policies, and they experience more international human resource management problems than do American and European firms.
