Human Resource Management : En korrelationsstudie om upplevt organisationsstöd och psykologiska kontrakt.Glinka, Kristoffer January 2012 (has links)
The relationship between employer and employee is, from a judicial point of view, governed primarily by economic and employment contracts. However, a significant part of the dynamic is also dictated by tacit expectations and promises (so called psychological contracts). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between perceived organizational support (POS) and psychological contract violation. Primary hypothesis assumed that there was a correlation between higher perceived organizational support and a reduction of feelings of violation from psychological contract breach. It was also assumed that employment time, sex and past breach experiences correlated with feelings of violation. Surveys were used to gather empirical data. Respondents consisted of 62 municipal employees, mainly in the education sector. Results showed a moderate relationship between POS and feelings of violation. No other significant correlations were found. This paper therefore argues for the importance of promoting good organizational support to its employees, which ultimately also improves organizational well-being and efficiency. Keywords: Work, organizational, psychology, human resource management, HR, psychological contract, organizational support, emotions, affects.

Sökes: kvalificerade säsongsanställda : betydelsen av rekrytering och motivation av säsongsanställda i turismföretagBjelkfors, Elisabet, Odinge, Evelina January 2009 (has links)
I alla turismföretag har de anställda en av de viktigaste rollerna i verksamheten. Den produkt som turismföretag säljer skapas i möten mellan gäster och en eller flera anställda. I de mötena skapas inte bara produkten utan det är också då som gästerna värderar produkten och företaget. Betalande gäster är de enda som skapar intäkter för ett turismföretag, vilket gör att det är ytterst viktigt att de här mötena blir positivt värderade av dem. Det är upp till företagen att se till att deras anställda presterar på toppen av sin förmåga i varje möte med gästerna. När en hög servicekvalitet erbjuds gästerna blir de mer nöjda vilket gynnar företaget och i sin tur även kan leda till att de anställda blir mer motiverade i sitt arbete. Vi har intervjuat fyrapersoner som arbetar med rekrytering av säsongsanställda i fyra olika turismföretag inom Kalmar-Ölandregionen. För att kunna besvara uppsatsens syfte diskuterade vi rekrytering, utbildning och motivation av säsongsanställda med dem. Det är lika viktigt att under lågsäsong skapa förutsättningar för hög servicekvalitet som det är att erbjuda gästerna det under högsäsong. I arbetet med förberedelserna kan en bra grund skapas utifrån Human Resource Management. Det är något som hela verksamheten ska genomsyras av, från rekrytering via utbildning till arbetets utformning. Grunden för rekrytering är att rätt människor med rätt kvaliteter väljs ut till rätt arbetsuppgift. Vårarespondenter anser att det är svårt att enbart genom ansökningar och intervjuer veta om det kan bli en passande anställd. Alla anser dock att det är något de har blivit bättre på med tiden. Är alla förberedelser utförda inför högsäsongen förenklas arbetet med att motivera de anställda så att de erbjuder gästerna en hög servicekvalitet. Ett sätt att påverka de anställdasarbetssituation är genom empowerment. Då får de anställda ett visst ansvar för att lättare kunna bemöta gästerna och höja företagets servicekvalitet. Våra respondenter använder olika sätt att motivera sina säsongsanställda och anser att de i många fall inte motiverar medvetet även om deras handlingar fungerar motiverande.

Human Resource Management : A comparative study of Carrier Refrigeration in Ingelstad (Sweden) and in Jászárokszállás (Hungary)Alarcón, Dante, Ivarsson, David January 2006 (has links)
HRM is an important issue whether companies are successful or not in the global market. Many authors have different views on how important culture and local factors are and to what extent it should be taken into consideration when managing units. Taylor et al (1996) state that companies can use three different approaches of HRM: adaptive, integrative or exportive. Considering whether or not culture is a factor taken into consideration when shaping HRM in two different affiliates, three hypotheses were formulated: Hypothesis 1: Culture and local aspects are to a large extent taken into consideration when shaping Human Resource Management. Hypothesis 2: Culture and local aspects are to some extent taken into consideration when shaping Human Resource Management. Hypothesis 3: Culture and local aspects are not taken into consideration when shaping Human Resource Management. Our purpose is to confirm or reject the formulated hypotheses by identifying, analyzing and comparing the shaping of HRM in Carrier Refrigeration in Ingelstad (Sweden) and in Jászárokszállás (Hungary) regarding: • how different types of responsibility are decentralized • how employees communicate • how employees are motivated & rewarded In the aspects of responsibility, communication and motivation & reward the three different approaches are seen. When each aspect is summarized the different approaches are seen as follows; responsibility shows overall an exportive approach, communication shows overall an integrative approach and motivation & reward shows overall an integrative approach. Since two of the three aspects show an integrative approach the second hypothesis (H2) is confirmed which means that the first (H1) and the third (H3) hypotheses are rejected. The hypothesis that is valid is formulated as follows: Culture and local aspects are to some extent taken into consideration when shaping Human Resource Management.

A Study on Practices of Third-country ExpatriationLin, Hsien-chih 09 February 2011 (has links)
The era of Globalization fastens the pace of corporation internationalization. National boundaries are no longer limitations for the quick transportation of people, commodities or capital all over the world. Under such circumstances, ¡§global mobility¡¨ equals ¡§competitiveness,¡¨ and the concept of ¡§Third-country Expatriation¡¨ takes place coordinately.
The utilization of ¡§Third-country Nationals (TCNs)¡¨ within Multinational corporations (MNCs) stands for maturity in global development. It means MNCs already possess several well-developed overseas subsidiaries which are adequate to providing competent expatriates to become TCNs. Third-country Expatriation not only assists MNCs in expanding overseas sites, accelerating regional development, building regional talent pool, but also can be used as strategic management for MNCs to foster global talents or even business successors. Nevertheless, it¡¦s indeed a pity that there are very limited researches related to Third-country Expatriation both among domestic and foreign researchers. Both practitioners and academics have treated lightly the unique role of TCNs in the international workforce. With the growing international development of domestic MNCs and newly emerging overseas markets, the importance of Third-country Expatriation related issues is definitely about to enhance.
This research adopts the exploratory quantity method, and conducts the in-depth interview with three domestic and foreign MNCs. Through the examination of their Third-country Expatriation practices, this research is able to come up with a more complete and integrated study on each human resource management activities, including: the planning for Third-country Expatriation system ¡V (1) reasons for third-country expatriation, (2) types and positions for third-country expatriation, (3) the main role of third-country expatriation system¡¦s planning, and the human resource management for Third-country Nationals ¡V (1) TCNs¡¦ selection (including decision-making and selection standards), (2) TCNs¡¦ education and training, (3) TCNs¡¦ compensation management, (4) TCNs¡¦ performance management, (5) TCNs¡¦ repatriation, (6) TCNs¡¦ oversea life support system, (7) other TCNs¡¦ management practices issues. On the other hand, based on the research results, this research also provides some essential suggestions and advices for domestic Taiwanese companies who plan to develop Third-country Expatriation system in the future.
