Document Summary
Convergence of hrm in europe a longitudinal analysis. H1: despite the pressures towards globalization, no trend exists towards final convergence among. Supported: no final convergence in hrm configurations or practices exists: directional similarity. Isomorphic pressures cutting across national boundaries are strong enough to move organizations in various countries in the same direction. H2: directional similarity exists among european countries in core hrm elements. Partially supported: strongly supported only for employee rewards and employee communications. Convergence in europe: empirical results underscore the importance of national contexts when looking at management practices in different countries and their development over time. Limitations: excludes smaller firms, no clear definition of hrm, data depends on single respondent, focuses only on europe. Importance of stability and lack of change: supra-national drivers seem to provide a kind of basso continuo, an underlying basic pulse and harmonic structure.
