Interpersonal Deviance

AbstractWe examined the influence of human resource practices on interpersonal deviance at work through job satisfaction. A survey was carried out among 372 manufacturing employees of various occupational levels in manufacturing companies in the northern region of Malaysia. We collected data by distributing questionnaires to participants, with the assistance of human resource department. We asked them to indicate how often they know whether any of their workmates engaged in different types of interpersonal deviance. Regression analysis showed that human resource practices of job description, employment security, and internal career opportunities have significant relationships with interpersonal deviance. Hierarchical regression indicated that the dimensions of job satisfaction have a direct relationship with interpersonal deviance. The dimensions also mediated the relationship between human resource practices and interpersonal deviance. Implications to managers and practitioners are discussed.

Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to determine the effect of high-performance human resource practices on job satisfaction across four cultural regions – Asia, Europe, North America, and Latin America. High-performance human resource practices were used to predict job satisfaction for each region and then compared to determine significant differences. Hofstede's cultural dimensions were employed as a basis for structuring hypothesized differences across cultural regions. Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected from a proprietary industry survey on employee work attitudes. The sample consisted of over 70,000 employees from four large multinational organizations with at least four offices in each of the four regions. Data were analyzed using regression analysis and comparison testing across models. Findings – There are significant relationships between job characteristics and job satisfaction across all regions of the world, with a sense of achievement universally the most important driver. Although job characteristics impact job satisfaction across all regions, there are significant differences in the relative importance of job characteristics on job satisfaction, consistent with Hofstede's cultural dimensions. Practical implications – The findings have implications for tailoring human resource management practices across locations within multinationals. Originality/value – This research is believed to be the first cross-cultural study of human resource practices affecting job satisfaction using multiple organizations and industries.

La dirección estratégica de recursos humanos enfatiza la influencia de las prácticas de recursos humanos de alto compromiso sobre la eficacia organizativa. El objetivo de este trabajo es contrastar como el empleo de un conjunto de prácticas de recursos humanos de alto compromiso en el seno de una organización influye positivamente en los resultados que ésta consigue. Para ello, se dispone de una muestra de 258 empresas manufactureras españolas. Los resultados apuntan que la utilización de dichas prácticas de recursos humanos tiene un impacto positivo sobre los rendimientos corporativos. De esta forma, este trabajo aporta evidencia empírica para la relación entre las prácticas de recursos humanos de alto compromiso consideradas de forma global y el rendimiento organizativo para el caso de una gran muestra de empresas españolas pertenecientes a todos los sectores de actividad industrial, lo cual supone una avance importante en la investigación sobre recursos humanos en España donde existe una laguna importante de trabajos empíricos que aborden esta cuestión.<br /><br />Strategic human resource management highlights the influence of the high commitment human resource practices on firm performance.
