摘要

随着中国企业在全球的影响力越来越大，中国侨民的数量也在增加。与此同时，学术界对确定影响外籍人员与东道国国民（HCNs）之间关系的因素的兴趣也在增加。然而，中国侨民与HCN子类别之间的动态互动却很少受到关注。本研究探讨了中国外派人员与hcn之间的差异互动，以及组织人力资源管理实践对这一动态的潜在影响。我们进行了一个案例研究，并通过对33名中国外籍人士的半结构化访谈收集了数据。研究结果表明，中国侨民与不同HCN子类别的互动存在差异。具体来说，他们与HCN员工（顾客）的互动是需求导向的（功利导向的）。组织人力资源管理实践对动态交互过程具有双刃剑效应。总体而言，本研究提供了一种微妙的、高度情境化的理解，即外籍员工与人力资源管理人员互动的重要性，以及组织人力资源管理实践在促进这一过程中的作用。

Within-group differences: Differentiated Chinese expatriate-HCN interactions and the influence of human resource management practices

With the increasing global presence of Chinese firms, the number of Chinese expatriates has increased. Concurrently, academic interest in identifying factors that influence the relationship between expatriates and host country nationals (HCNs) has grown. However, less attention has been paid to the dynamic interactions between Chinese expatriates and HCN subcategories. This study explores the differentiated Chinese expatriate–HCN interactions and potential influence of organizational human resource management (HRM) practices on this dynamic. We conducted a single case study and collected data through semi-structured interviews with 33 Chinese expatriates. The findings suggested that Chinese expatriates interacted differently with different HCN subcategories. Specifically, their interactions with HCN employees (customers) were need-oriented (utilitarian-oriented). Organizational HRM practices had a double-edged effect on the dynamic interaction process. Overall, this study offers a nuanced and highly contextualized understanding of the significance of expatriate–HCN interactions and role of organizational HRM practices in facilitating this process.
