ABSTRACT

As the chapters in this book clearly suggest, the cultural diversity of organizations has increased markedly in the past three decades. As a result, organizations are facing a growing need to deal with the consequences of this increased cultural diversity for various human resource management (HRM)-related processes and practices. Among the processes and practices considered by chapter authors are recruitment, selection, training, motivation, and compensation and benefits administration. Triandis and Wasti (Chapter 1) describe numerous dimensions along which cultures differ and briefly consider the impact of cultural differences on HRM-related processes and practices.
