| dc.description.abstract | This research collects relevant researches on human resource management practices and supply chain performance since 1990. It explores the relationship between human resource management practices and supply chain performance by meta-analysis research methods and uses national cultural differences as a moderator.
Human resource management practices include four most common management functions – recruitment and selection, training and development, compensation and benefit, and performance management. The national cultures adopt the Hofstede’s national culture dimensions, including power distance, individualism/collectivism, masculinity/feminine tendency, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term orientation/short-term orientation, to explore if there is any moderating effect.
In the end, this research conducted a meta-analysis based on 28 researches. The results show that the relationship between human resource management practices and supply chain performance is significantly positively correlated, which means that the implementation of human resource management practices contributes to the improvement of supply chain performance. Besides, when the national culture is high collectivism or high power distance, the relationship between human resource management practices and supply chain performance will be positively moderated. | en_US |
