ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the findings from several empirical studies that examined the relationships among employee resilience, human resource management (HRM) practices and organizational performance and employee wellbeing. Companies operating in China have emphasized the need to build positive corporate/organizational culture and develop positive employees through some measures of strategic HRM (SHRM) policies and practices. SHRM is believed to play an important role in both developing and using a firm’s capacity for resilience, and assisting employees in their search for meaning of work via corporate cultural building of shared values in order for all to flourish abundantly. The chapter aims to investigate whether spirituality as in the Chinese term of ‘correct spirit’ or ‘spiritual civilization’ embodied in the ‘Chinese Dream’ would play a role in developing SHRM policies and practices in China, whether the implementation of HRM strategies was likely to assist in realizing the ‘Chinese Dream’.
