This volume looks at the relationship between society and human
resource management (HRM) in China. In doing so it asks how
representative the latter is of the former. The contributors argue
that there needs to be a minimum degree of consonance between these
two variables if HRM is to be sufficiently underpinned by social
reality. It is only in a wider framework that 'people-management'
in general - and in China in particular - can be fully understood,
whether through theory or through practice. Society and HRM in
China explores the changes in Chinese society over the last century
and then goes on to analyse how these changes have shaped China's
HRM. Arguably, HRM did not emerge from the void; it was shaped by
the societal culture from which it sprung and the economic forces
influencing its institutions and organizations. However, there is
very little academic literature about the relationship between
contemporary Chinese society and its HRM which isn't extremely
specific. As such, much of the research in this collection is not
only relatively representative but also highly cross-sectional. The
contributions are all drawn from experts in the field across the
disciplines, hailing from a diverse range of national origins and
educational institutions. They cover a wide range of topics,
approaches and emphases. This book was originally published as a
special issue of The International Journal of Human Resource
Management.
