Rethinking comparative and cross-national human resource management research
本文质疑英美人力资源管理模型的普遍适用性，分析五种主要模型，提出一个用于不同情境下评估HRM的框架，并构建了一个进行跨国比较研究的语境模型。
This article first briefly highlights the rapid development of the human resource management (HRM) discipline and the need for more cross-national HRM studies. The universal applicability of Anglo-Saxon models of HRM is then questioned. To examine the applicability of HRM models in different settings (national and international), five main HRM models are critically analysed and their main research propositions are identified. This provides the basis for a framework for HRM evaluations in different contexts. Based on such a framework and developments in the literature, finally, a contextual model is proposed for conducting cross-national and comparative HRM studies. The paper also indicates some related directions for future research.
