Relative and Cross-national Human Resource Management research: Development of a hypothetical model

Article January 1, 1970

Rapid development of the human resource management (HRM) discipline has been discussed in this article with the need for more cross-national HRM studies. Thereafter the universal applicability of Anglo-Saxon models of HRM is questioned. In order to examine the applicability of HRM models in various settings (national and international), six major HRM models have been critically analyzed and their main research propositions have been identified. This provides the foundation for a framework for HRM evaluations in diverse contexts. Based on such a framework and developments in the literature, finally, a contextual model is proposed for conducting cross-national and relative HRM studies. The paper also provides some related directions for future research also.

Employee Turnover and Retention strategies: An empirical study of public sector organizations of Pakistan.

Article January 1, 1970

It has been observed that employee turnover, especially amongst public sector organizations, is becoming a problem which costs a lot of money, efforts and energy. This problem might be a major obstacle for HR professionals in formulation of their HR policies. This study aims to identify the main turnover factors in some public sector regulatory authorities and to suggest some employee retention strategies within the Pakistani context. Data was collected by a questionnaire distributed amongst 568 employees, developed on the basis of extensive literature review. The importance of having a retention strategy, which is based on a well articulated human resources management system, was stressed.
