Abstract

The dynamics of convergence and divergence in organizations and managerial practices worldwide have attracted attention in a range of management disciplines (e.g. Adler et al ., 1986; Douglas and Wind, 1987; Levitt, 1983; Sparrow et al ., 1994). This paper explores and questions the proposition that organizations are becoming more similar in terms of macro-level variables (convergence), but maintaining their culturally based dissimilarities in terms of micro-level variables (divergence) (Adler et al ., 1986). A conceptual framework and propositions that depict the dynamics of macro-, micro- and meso-level variables and the modes of change associated with these are presented and applied to international human resource management. The framework and propositions are offered as a guide for future research exploring convergence and divergence issues.

趋同与分化动态的再评估:对国际人力资源管理的启示

世界范围内组织和管理实践的趋同和分歧的动态已经引起了一系列管理学科的注意(例如Adler等人，1986;道格拉斯和温德，1987;莱维特,1983;Sparrow et al .， 1994)。本文探讨并质疑组织在宏观层面变量(趋同)方面变得越来越相似，但在微观层面变量(分歧)方面保持其基于文化的差异性(Adler et al .， 1986)。提出并应用于国际人力资源管理的概念框架和命题，描述宏观、微观和中观层次变量的动态以及与这些变量相关的变化模式。本文提出的框架和命题为未来研究趋同与发散问题提供了指导。
