Human Resource Cross-Culture Management in the International Joint Venture in China
ABSTRACT
The Purpose of this study was to investigate potential differences in the human resource management among organizational variables across different cultures. Specifically, three organizational variables, a subset of the Burke-Litwin Model of Organizational Performance and Change (1992, 1994), were included in the study: management practices, organizational climate, and employee satisfaction. One thousand and 320 employees of a US-based global technology company operating in China were included is the study. Respondents completed questionnaires to their perceptions and attitudes of management practices, organizational climate, and their degree of satisfaction in the workplace. Sections were categorized according to Hofstede’s widely used typology of four cultural dimensions: individualism, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance, and power distance (Hofstede, 1980, 1983, 1991, 2001). The results provide evidence for the existence of a mediated causal path from management practices to organizational climate to employee satisfaction in the international joint venture in China, and that the strengths of the relationships among the three organizational variables are moderated by culture. Overall the results indicate that the strength of the relationships among the three organizational variables vary by the culture of the country which an organization operates. In China the influence of Confucian values has a vast influence on the style of HRM in the business world
