And based on the 243 valid data obtained from the questionnaire survey, the model was empirically tested by using SPSS2 and AMOS3. Findings – The analysis shows that the person‐environment fit dimensions play an intermediary role in the empowering leader behavior and the employee’s voice behavior , which means that the empowering leader behavior changes the employee’s voice behavior by changing the employee’s person‐environment fit perception of the work environment. Research limitations/implications – This research introduces a new perspective—personal‐environment fit, and explains the mechanism of empowering leader behavior on employees’voice behavior through it. It also uses the golden mean as a moderating variable and attaches importance to contextualized research in China. and provide new ideas for the management and practice of enterprises. Originality/value – In theory, the personal‐environment fit perspective provides managers with new theoretical ideas on how to motivate employees.

The research is based on ethnographic research with participatory observation at forecourts and interviews with managers and workers. This paper argues that human capital development is inhibited by patterns of discrimination, such as in the treatment of rural migrants in China’s coastal urban areas. Instead, human capital is developed as migrant workers learn to resist management rules by relying on social capital networks. This requires management to confront or acquits some control to workers, which itself may benefit employers in certain circumstances. There has been a tendency towards analysing non-financial capital in positivist frameworks within human resource management (HRM), in which human capital and social capital are seen in terms of their contribution to profits.

Schmitz","doi":"10.1108/JCHRM-08-2018-0014","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1108/JCHRM-08-2018-0014","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000Purpose\u0000This paper aims to provide insights into current issues, such as changing expectations and needs of blue-collar workers, from both an employee and HR perspective, to provoke further research in the business context on this crucial cohort, as well as broaden the current understanding of Human Resources Management (HRM) measures and incentives implemented by the respective foreign companies.\u0000\u0000\u0000Design/methodology/approach\u0000The author conducted semi-structured interviews with 25 Chinese employees of German multinational companies working in the automobile industry located in Shanghai. Among them, 17 were blue-collar workers and 8 were white-collar workers (General Manager or HR Manager).\u0000\u0000\u0000Findings\u0000Besides factors attributed to work conditions, all of the work values are located in the individual domain, regarding their level of focus (Facet C according to Lyons et al.). Work values in the growth orientation domain (Facet B according to Lyons et al.) show a mix between context- and growth-oriented factors. However, context-oriented factors are still outnumbering the frequency of growth-oriented ones. Regarding the modality of work values (Facet A), all of the categories (instrumental, social, cognitive and prestige) were reflected in the answers of the blue-collar workers.\u0000\u0000\u0000Research limitations/implications\u0000Due to the limited number of interviewees no final statement can be made on how age, education, gender, or other demographics influence certain work values. Additionally, Inglehart and Abramson (1994) also mention other potential explanations for observed differences, such as inflation or unemployment rates, and per capita gross national product which were not discussed in this research. Furthermore, the HR management selected the interview candidates regarding the blue-collar cohort which could indicate biased answers of the interviewees.\u0000\u0000\u0000Practical implications\u0000HRM systems (e.g. reward systems or job design) should be adapted to meet the individual preferences of employees and be sensitive toward a potential value change among certain generational cohorts. The findings showed that although pay is still on the mind of the blue-collar worker, career development seems to be even more important for the future blue-collar workforce. Therefore, companies should as well consider non-financial retention strategies in the future.\u0000\u0000\u0000Social implications\u0000Due to the talent shortage in China, employee’s ability to assert their interests, wishes and values could be taken to a new level. However, this does not hold true for the (still increasing) flood of migrant workers, often suffering from bad working conditions or discrimination incurred by their hukou status. Although recent changes in the labor regime have taken place (e.g. social insurance reform and labor contract law), the protection of migrant workers still remains insufficient.\u0000\u0000\u0000Originality/value\u0000By examining the work values of blue-collar workers, this paper draws meaningful implications ","PeriodicalId":54013,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Human Resources Management","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1108/JCHRM-08-2018-0014","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44758372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
