INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND NATIONAL CULTURAL CHALLENGES

Abstract

A number of researchers have investigated the role of and importance of national culture on international human resource management and it is named as the major challenge that human resource management should be aware of when going global to achieve its organizational goals. Getting individuals from different ethnic backgrounds working together may be difficult in some parts of the world and international human resource management professionals should be aware of this cultural difficulty. This paper studies the influence of national cultural challenges on international human resource management which is investigated commonly by Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, achievement motivation theory, equity theory, expectancy theory, job design, work centrality, and rewards.
