The Global Context and People at Work: Special Issue Introduction
这篇特刊引言指出,尽管跨文化管理研究很多,但组织如何有效管理全球员工、文化差异如何影响工作仍知之甚少。它总结了三个研究主题:跨文化比较、全球工作者类型和理论视角,并为未来研究提出建议。
Although considerable research has been conducted on a variety of cross‐cultural management topics, we still know very little about how organizations can effectively manage people involved in global work or how cross‐cultural differences impact individuals and groups at work. To address this gap, we edited a special issue of Personnel Psychology that presents scholarly research contributing to understanding how global experiences and contexts impact people at work. We identified 3 research themes: cross‐cultural comparisons, the different types of global workers, and theoretical perspectives that underlie the accepted articles’ contributions to this special issue. We conclude with specific theoretical and methodological recommendations for research on human resource management and organizational behavior topics incorporating the global context.
