Multinationals, national business systems and HRM: the enduring influence of national identity or a process of 'Anglo-Saxonization'

Article Abstract:

A new study investigates the factors of national environments that may influence human resource management practices in multinational companies (MNCs). The theory that forces linked to globalization have promoted widespread adoption of HRM practices typically used by UK and US multinationals is explored. It is concluded that such 'Anglo-Saxonization' will be tempered by the cultural climate of the MNC's home country.

A study of some prevalent Japanese and American human resources management practices examines their success in Turkey and analyses the influence of Turkish culture. A framework is proposed that could be used in other developing countries.
