Article Abstract:
The style of personnel management of expatriates working in the Seychelles and local managers is contrasted in order to discover how culture influences the development of human resource management. In the Seychelles personal relationships are very strong which translates into the work environment, where workers of all levels often treat each other with informality. Foreign managers may find it difficult to follow their own management styles as they try to cope with a less authoritarian environment or to compensate they may become over bureaucratic. Some 20 questionaries were analysed.

Article Abstract:
International human resource management journals are failing to to focus on the internal and comparative aspects of human resource management. Researchers found the nature of articles on the subject of international human resource management had consistently failed to provide a comparative view since the management tool was officially acknowledged in 1977. This lack of balance is blamed on small sample surveys, too few international investigations and a failure to develop cultural and ethnic differences.

Article Abstract:
The close relationship between human resources and company management may lead to an alienation by the workforce, as the traditional role of personnel is replaced by strategic business management. Australian firms are reacting positively to the notion of human resource management, gaining support at executive level, although close attention must be paid to the needs of workers who underpin company performance.
