As such, it adopts a process oriented strategic HRM perspective through developing and examining an integrative framework of the antecedents and outcomes of the quality of the implementation of the Qatarized workforce in Qatar. This framework is informed by three aspects of the strategic planning process, namely, formulation, implementation, and evaluation, as determinants of the quality of implementation of the Qatarization strategy and how the latter, along with the three sets of strategic planning variables, influence the success of this strategy. In surveying 313 managers from organizations in Qatar, the study contributes to several streams of the literature: strategic HRM, nationalization, and strategic management, where the findings show that the implementation quality of Qatarization strategy is shaped by all three as aspects of the strategic planning process and that the success of this strategy cannot adequately be targeted without such an integrative perspective. However, the findings also suggest that the three aspects do not contribute equally to the success of this strategy. These findings entail several implications for managers, including the importance of paying heed to the comprehensive concept of integrative strategic planning in general, and the important role that formal planning plays when ensuring the success of publicly mandated HRM strategies.Keywords: QatarizationHRM strategy implementationworkforce nationalizationgCCstrategic HRMstrategy successlabor policy AcknowledgementsThe statements made herein are solely the responsibility of the authors.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data that support the findings will be available in Qatar National Library following a 6-month embargo from the date of publication to allow for commercialization of research findings.Notes1 Appendix I, submitted as supplementary additional material, shows the items used in our measures and their standardized factor loadings.Additional informationFundingOpen Access funding provided by the Qatar National Library.

However, previous studies have provided inconsistent conclusions on why knowledge hiding occurs and how it affects the perpetrator’s subsequent work and well-being outcomes. As no reviews to date have focused on the knowledge hiding from the perpetrator’s perspective, this meta-analysis systematically synthesizes frequently studied antecedents and consequences of perpetrator-centric knowledge hiding. It also examines the moderating effects of cultural dimensions and causal directions on the consequences. Based on evidence from N = 193 sources with a total sample size of N = 68,113, this meta-analysis found significantly strong relationships between neuroticism, moral disengagement (hider’s factors), psychological contract breach, toxic leadership, leader-signaled knowledge hiding, perceived organizational politics (contextual factors) and knowledge hiding. The findings revealed that knowledge hiding had a medium-sized positive relationship with perpetrator psychological strain. It also uncovered the cross-cultural differences among the perpetrator-centric consequences. These findings helped answer the question of whether some common predictors or outcomes of knowledge hiding should be identified as outcomes or indicators.

Yet, the issues related to the expatriates’ adjustment to their new environments can negatively affect the ability of MNCs to do business.

In this study, we contribute by utilizing social learning and linguistic relativity as two key theoretical lenses to identify and examine the dimensions of expatriate adjustment. To do so, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 20 Indian expatriates in several countries around the world (English and non-English speaking). Our findings revealed five dimensions including (i) nuances of language (ii) role of language (iii) mechanisms to overcome language issues (iv) support and (v) expatriates’ adjustment.

By adopting affordances for practice perspective, our study focused on contextual factors, including IT/internet policies, informal social norms, and work flexibility, to investigate how these factors could influence employees’ perception of constant connectivity. This paper reports a two-phase study. In the first phase, we used sentiment analysis to rank 38 internet use policies of Australian universities, grading their strictness toward ICT/internet use. Next, building on the first phase, we interviewed 28 academics.

The phenomenon of athletic-participation-preference (APP) concerns both scholars and managers, affecting the policy and implementation of fair recruitment.

Firstly, the influence of athletic participation in recruitment is not universal, as recruiters may possess different views. Secondly, the influence of athletic participation in recruitment is not consistent. APP does not boost wage, and the APP is perceived differently between age groups. Finally, team-spirit and goal-orientation are not relevant to APP, as both values exist in both sport and non-sport fields. Research findings have implied that recruiting education and trainings, ethics workshops, and recruiting experiences are crucial to the fair recruitment, alleviating the impact of athletic-participation-preference in recruitment.

We empirically examine this model using multi-wave and multi-source data collected from 246 hotel employee-supervisor dyads. We found that CFTP had a positive impact on strengths use for tasks and relationships, both of which were associated with increased in- and extra-role service performance. Furthermore, CFTP had a stronger relationship with strengths use for tasks and further service performance when work meaningfulness was high. CFTP was also closely associated with strengths use for relationships and subsequent service performance, regardless of the level of perceived task interdependence.
