1. Introduction
For the past two decades, up until the Asian turmoil of 1997, Asian economies experienced the fastest growth in the world (Tu, 1991). This led to considerable attention being focused on the Human Resource Management (HRM) practices of Asian businesses (Fisher & Kirkbride, 1993). The phenomenal economic success of the “dragons” has often been attributed to the influence of Confucian-cultural values, which emphasize the need for hierarchical relationships, the concern for harmony, the importance of education and the value of hard and diligent work (Hofstede & Bond, 1988; Tu, 1996).
However, despite the claim of a relationship between Confucian values and economic success, there has been no study of the influence of Confucian values on the style of the HRM practices. Sparrow and Wu (1998) pointed out that the international HRM literature has rarely overcome the problem of simply presenting “lists” of things that rely on “culture”.
Furthermore, Western world have already established the HRM system on the basis of their culture, and there have been challenges regarding the factors and perceptions influenced HRM practice. Western culture and belief can be measuring long-term time orientation.
In this research, the aim is to establish the influence of Confucian values on Chinese firm and the culture influence on western-based firm, then to derive a more detailed and acceptable concept definition for both the Confucian values and western culture having influence on the style of HRM in the business world.
