This insightful book explores the evolution of HRM and labor relations in China, particularly post-WTO accession and under Xi Jinping's leadership.
The book Labor Relations and Human Resource Management in China offers a detailed historical overview of the evolution of human resource management (HRM) and labor relations within the context of China's unique socio-economic landscape. It examines the profound impact that HRM practices have had on national economic development, enterprise reform, and the fostering of individual creativity and innovation. By situating these developments within the larger framework of China's historical and political context, the book provides valuable insights into the complexities of labor relations in a rapidly changing environment.
Taking a strategic approach, Labor Relations and Human Resource Management in China presents a thorough review of existing literature, including books and academic papers, particularly since China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001. The author meticulously evaluates the progression of HRM practices against the backdrop of significant institutional changes, especially following the rise of President Xi Jinping's leadership in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since 2010. This analysis highlights the interplay between HRM strategies and the broader economic policies that have shaped modern China.
Furthermore, the book delves into the spiritual dimensions of HRM, exploring how the aspirations surrounding the 'Chinese Dream,' as articulated by President Xi, influence labor relations and individual motivation. Through this lens, Labor Relations and Human Resource Management in China not only documents historical developments but also engages with contemporary issues that affect the future of HRM in China.
'This book addresses a pressing issue: understanding labor relations and human resource management not from a universalistic perspective, but by closely relating these areas of practice to the national context of China. Building from a historical perspective, the book explains the nature of the employment relationship and how this is managed based on Chinese values and institutions. Moreover, we see how this has developed with the increasing influence of investments by foreign-owned firms in China. Overall, the picture is one of a series of economic and labor market reforms and changing cultural values that are instigating change at organization level in the employment relationship.'— Elaine Farndale, Associate Professor, School of Labor and Employment Relations, Pennsylvania State University
