Employee reactions to voice and choice in the workplace: the influence of culture

Article Abstract:

Research undertaken among employees in the Philippines and Canada has considered the impact of culture on employee participation in decision making. It was established that there is a clear need to take account of cultural differences when applying a management practice across borders. Those responsible for designing employee participation programmes must consider both degree and area of participation permitted. In this case, the Philippine employees appeared to be more positively inclined towards participation in decision making than their Canadian counterparts.

Article Abstract:

A survey of Philippines corporations for studying the prevalence and impact of practices in hiring, training and development, performance appraisal, pay and occupational safety and health confirmed western practices and organizational characteristics adopted by the firms.

Stakeholders in high-performance work systems

Article Abstract:

The political model approach can be used to assess the occurrence of high-performance work systems in business organizations in the US. It is clear that trade unions and human resource management departments have opposite relationships with a high-performance work system. Trade unions do not regard this alternative human resource management model very favourably. It appears that unionization has a direct impact on the application of high-performance work systems for non-exempt employees only.
