Women-friendly HRM good for QWL: the case of Hong Kong based companies
Article Abstract:
A survey of organizations in Hong Kong seeks to discover their women-friendly policies and the effect of women-friendly human resource management systems on employees' quality of work life. The findings suggest that US and European firms are more likely to have women-friendly policies in place than local Hong Kong companies. Comparing US companies to those in Hong Kong shows that US firms have a more positive attitude to women's career development, while European firms are more flexible.
