Analysis of factors affecting job satisfaction in foreign invested construction companies in ChinaJiang, Jing, 江婧 January 2013 (has links)
With China join into the WTO for over 10 years, increasing number of foreign investors, including foreign invested construction companies, show their interests in the Chinese market. Due to the cultural differences between foreign and local companies, the foreign investors will face many challenges when entering into Chinese market. These challenges may lead to difficulties not only in establishing relationships with government, customers, and suppliers but also in managing local employees. Employees’ job satisfaction is proven to be an important predictor to organizational performance. With more and more Chinese people working in foreign invested construction companies, it is not clear whether they feel live up to their expectations. Limited literature is found about people’s job satisfaction in foreign invested construction companies. There is a research gap as the factors affecting Chinese employees’ job satisfaction in foreign invested construction companies are not examined.
Based on literature review and exploration, 9 hypotheses are proposed for this research. The first hypothesis is to evaluate people’s overall job satisfaction in foreign invested construction companies. The remaining 8 hypotheses are used to investigate the specific factors affecting job satisfaction. A quantitative approach is adopted and a questionnaire survey is conducted for data collection. Data in both local and foreign invested construction companies are collected for comparison purpose. Afterwards, three experienced managers are interviewed to seek their opinions on the findings.
Multiple regression analysis is applied for hypotheses testing. The data analysis results confirm the first hypothesis that employees working in foreign invested construction companies have a lower job satisfaction compared to employees working in local construction companies. The results also show that performance appraisal system, monthly income, feel of responsibility and career prospect are significant factors affecting people’s job satisfaction in foreign invested construction companies.
This study portrays a whole picture of employees’ job satisfaction in foreign invested construction companies and several significant predictors are identified. According to the findings, suggestions and implications are provided to managers in foreign construction companies to enhance their employee’s job satisfaction. / published_or_final_version / Real Estate and Construction / Master / Master of Philosophy

Strategies of Chinese retailers to survive foreign competitionYu, Dan January 2005 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Business Administration))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2005. / With the largest growing population and "the world's fastest growing economy" (Jacob, 2004:20),
China has an enormous pool of potential consumers who want to improve their lifestyles.
China's opening of its retail market has encouraged the entrance of foreign retailers and has
increased retailing. Many international companies and Chinese retailers are eager for a share of
the Chinese market.
China has made many reforms to its policies and regulations in order to join the World Trade
Organization, and has evolved into a major investment destination for foreign investors. As a
member of the World Trade Organization, China will benefit from increased access to the foreign
market, but in return, it will have to expose itself to competition from foreign companies.
The retail environment in China is evolving as markets mature. These markets are ripe for
cultivation by foreign retailers whose advanced systems, operations, management and
marketing skills can bring added levels of efficiency and enhanced performance to the Chinese
markets. Many multinational retailers have operations in China and may more plan aggressive
expansions to roots themselves. The foreign retailers have superior merchandising expertise, advanced management techniques,
strong capital, reputable foreign brands, excellent service and flexible strategies. In addition,
they have the wisdom to hire capable local managers to help them bridge cultural gaps to attract
customers into their stores and build effective customers relationships. Foreign retails have set
about changing the shopping behaviour of their Chinese customers.
They import well-known foreign brands, create comfortable shopping environments, set prices
applicable nationwide and create marketing campaigns that are extremely attractive to Chinese
customers. According to a customer research survey, Chinese customers are becoming more
discerning and sophisticated. They are moving from finding the best price to seeking the best
quality, showing increasing brand awareness and loyalty to foreign brand-name goods. The
Chinese retail market environment is becoming more complicated and competition is becoming
intense.

The benefits of lending relationship: evidence from foreign invested enterprises in China. / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collection / ProQuest dissertations and thesesJanuary 2002 (has links)
As China's accession to World Trade Organization is certain, China is now at the critical stage of changing from a planned economy to a market economy and the banking system is also undergoing dramatic changes. By focusing on the local and foreign currency loan markets for foreign invested enterprises in China, this thesis can make three major contributions: (1) providing the first empirical research to test the theories of financial intermediation in China; (2) modeling the competition among local and foreign banks by analyzing the borrowing pattern of foreign invested enterprises and their reliance on foreign and local banks; (3) examining the role of relationship banking and other factors in determining the loan pricing of both local and foreign currency loans by foreign and local banks. / From the empirical results, I found empirical support to the financial intermediation theories that the longer the banking relationship, the lower the rate on the foreign currency loans, suggesting that the length of relationship as a proxy for the private information the bank obtains over the course of relationship helps overcome information asymmetry between the banks and the foreign invested enterprises in the sample. I also found empirical support to the rate reducing effects of other key factors such as the majority shareholding by the foreign sponsors and provision of third party guarantee. However, none of these important factors are associated with the renminbi-denominated loan pricing. That points to the primary issue of the prevailing banking system in China that the regulated local currency interest rates prevented the commercial banks from playing a "real" role of financial intermediation. The empirical test also shows that the local currency loan pricing will be reduced as FIEs maintain relationship with more banks. This suggests that banks compete for customers by offering cheaper credits. If competition is the predominant determinant of loan pricing and that such level of competition does not stimulate more innovative and better quality bank services and products as a means of differentiation, the inflexible Renminbi loan pricing will ultimately deteriorate the profitability of the banks and affect the financial health of the banking system. / Whilst China's accession to WTO is now certain, the liberalization of local currency interest rates will take time and be approached cautiously, and ultimately, hinge on the success of the banking reform and the institutional strengthening of Chinese banks.
