Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Management practices are manifestations of cultural values. Cultural values of managers are reflected in those practices to no small extent when design and peform create those practices. Management practices may differ culture by culture. Human resource management or HRM practices among other management practices may be culture-bound because HRM managers are sensitive to cultural context where HRM practices are performed. Best or high-performance practices that are supposed to be universally effective may also be culturally bound. Based on such an assumption, I have built hypotheses and conducted my survey in Vietnam and the UK. I have found that collectivist society like Vietnam may breed or support high-performance work practices, leading to improvement in operating performance and positive climate conditions at work. Cultural effects can be moderated by the organizational form, that is to say, local versus multinational firms.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
グローバル化の時代において、文化を理解することは重要である。しかし、文化は地域だけでなく、速度は遅いが、時代とともに変わり、新しい文化の理解が必要である。本研究は、文化を経営とのかかわりにおいて理解をし、文化が経営慣行に及ぶす影響を実証的に把握した点に意義がある。また、文化の中身まで踏み込み、文化を理解し、その結果を理解しようとした点にも意義がある。
