Abstract

Abstract The growth of Fortune 500 companies in China has its complementary challenge in managing human resources. In this study, we describe the skill sets, language fluency, educational credentials, job experience, and other key job qualifications that are solicited on Fortune 500 Companies’ LinkedIn advertisements in China. The characteristics that were most represented in the job advertisements in our sample of 111 US Fortune 500 companies in China were from companies ranked 201-500 (39.6%), in secondary sectors (57.7%), in Tier 1 cities (91.9%) offering lower management positions (47.8%) requiring a bachelor’s degree (55.9%) and English fluency (55.0%) with 6-10 years of work experience (43.2%). In addition, we examine the relationship between these qualifications and the types of enterprises represented in our sample. Using chi-square analysis, we found statistically significant (p < .05) relationships between company ranking and leadership skills, job title and years of experience, job title and English language skills, job title and level of education, industry sector and level of education, and city tier and level of education. This study contributes to the existing knowledge on the human resources and recruitment of Fortune 500 companies in China, demonstrating the variability in HR practices across institutional maturity, region, and business focus.

世界500强企业想要的:在中国招聘

中国财富500强企业的成长在人力资源管理方面面临着互补的挑战。在这项研究中，我们描述了《财富》500强公司在中国的领英广告中征求的技能组合、语言流利程度、教育证书、工作经验和其他关键工作资格。在我们调查的111家美国财富500强中国公司的招聘广告中，最具代表性的特点是排名201-500的公司(39.6%)、二级行业(57.7%)、一线城市(91.9%)提供较低管理职位(47.8%)、要求学士学位(55.9%)、英语流利(55.0%)、6-10年工作经验(43.2%)。此外，我们还研究了这些资质与样本中所代表的企业类型之间的关系。通过卡方分析，我们发现公司排名与领导技能、职称与工作年限、职称与英语语言技能、职称与受教育程度、行业部门与受教育程度、城市等级与受教育程度之间的关系具有统计学意义(p < 0.05)。本研究对《财富》500强企业在中国的人力资源和招聘的现有知识做出了贡献，展示了人力资源实践在制度成熟度、地区和业务重点方面的差异。
