Employee work values and organisational attachment in North Mexican maquiladoras

Article Abstract:

Research set out to find a correlation between the attitudes towards work of Mexican workers and their attachment to their place of work, the maquilas or maquiladoras. The managers of the maquilas, which are foreign-owned production plants, had difficulty in retaining workers with some 10% leaving each month. The data found that if Mexican workers decided to leave their jobs they did not consider the level of wages or the type of work they were doing. Most workers did not have a committment to stay in a job for any length of time. Some 227 completed questionaries were analysed.

Pre-expatriation: the role of HR factors in the early stages of internationalization

Article Abstract:

Research into the internationalisation of employment has often not taken into consideration the role of human resource management (HRM). Large international businesses may develop a specific section to deal with international HRM within the company. Employees working in human resource departments must endeavour to become involved in the initial stages of the expatriation of workers in order to become more effective. A good HRM department will develop processes and procedures to assist employees before they work abroad.
