Employment Practices of MNCs
Employment practices of MNC's in Organisational context
Summary of Research
The analysis of multinational companies (MNCs) is limited by the lack of systematic data on employment practices and how these are influenced by organisational characteristics. The survey is the first based on a representative sample of MNCs operating in the UK. It provides a picture of employment practice within MNCs, focusing on four key areas of employment practice:
-
performance management and reward systems
-
organisational learning
-
employee involvement and communication
-
employee representation
The survey findings are being used to test propositions concerning the association between a company's employment practices and such organisational factors as structure, degree of internationalisation, nationality of ownership, and sector.
