Toward a Dynamic Process Model of Staffing Composition and Subsidiary Outcomes in Multinational Enterprises
构建了一个动态过程模型，研究子公司人员配置的国籍异质性如何影响情感、行为、认知和战略结果，进而影响财务绩效，并基于组织学习和社会认同理论提出可检验的命题。
Subsidiary staffing composition is defined as the distribution of parent country nationals (PCNs), host country nationals (HCNs), and third country nationals (TCNs) in subsidiaries of multinational enterprises (MNEs). Subsidiary staffing composition varies along the dimension of nationality heterogeneity. The MNE staffing literature has mainly focused on expatriate PCNs and individual-level outcomes. This article develops a dynamic process model in which heterogeneity of staffing composition influences affective, behavioral, cognitive, and strategic outcomes, which in turn affect subsidiary financial performance. Drawing upon organizational learning and social identification theories, this article offers testable propositions regarding relationships between staffing composition and subsidiary outcomes, and changes in these relationships over time. Finally, it proposes a preliminary research program to test the model. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
