| Summary: | "Traditional Chinese Thinking on HRM Practices highlights the important ramifications for both Western and Eastern Human Resources Practices and is the first research of its kind to empirically investigate the effect of Chinese core values, which originated from Chinese traditional thinking, on HRM practices in China. The author of this volume empirically investigates Chinese Human Resource practices from a cultural and philosophical perspective, using a qualitative research strategy. She offers a broader explanation for the peculiarity of Chinese HRM, whilst complementing the large volume of existing quantitative studies, which are hypotheses-led and driven by Western theory. The author tentatively explores the philosophical underpinnings of Western HRM and compares Western and Eastern ways of thinking systematically. In doing so, she reveals the current situation and trend of HRM in China under the influence of Chinese traditional thinking. This volume will help readers gain a better understanding of the Chinese style of management and will contribute to the development of management and organization theories in the Chinese context".. |
