Abstract

To examine international human resource management (IHRM) configurations and their explanatory variables, this study generated conceptual frameworks and tested them with data collected from Korean multinational corporations (MNCs) in china. To test the hypotheses, data is collected from 319 Chinese and Korean employees of three study Korean MNCs in China. From the data, The study derived three different IHRM configurations:(1) high earnings, working conditions, job security, cooperation and career development influence Chinese employees more than Korean employees; (2) The Korean employees, compared to the Chinese employees, prefer “fortress-style” and “club-style” of corporate cultures; (3) Both the Chinese and the Korean find money to be a working-reward.
