摘要

跨国公司(MNCs)期望从其本地分散的单位获得最高的回报,因此影响子公司成功的因素一直是文献中非常感兴趣的。基于资源基础观点,本文旨在探讨一系列背景资源,特别是国际人员配备(外派人员和内派人员)和人力资本资源对中欧和东欧(CEE)国家外资子公司绩效的影响。设计/方法/途径通过对来自中东欧五个国家(匈牙利、罗马尼亚、波兰、塞尔维亚和捷克共和国)的295家跨国公司子公司的调查,本文揭示了上下文子公司层面资源(进出国际派遣、员工和管理层层面的人力资本资源以及人力资源知识转移)与子公司绩效之间的主要关系。研究结果:本文为跨国公司背景资源(特别是内派派遣、人力资本资源)与本地分散子公司绩效之间的正相关关系提供了实证支持。研究结果表明,外派员工和内派员工对子公司绩效存在交互作用。实证结果揭示了外派外派和人力资本资源为跨国企业带来的附加价值。研究的局限性/意义本文本质上是实证的,需要在更大的随机跨国公司样本上进一步探索这个主题。本文的研究结果有可能改善全球企业管理如何利用内部分配和人力资本资源,从而为利益相关者带来更多的增值。本文的独创性源于在中东欧地区动态但研究不足的背景下实施的实证调查。因此,研究结果揭示了关于子公司一级人力资本资源对五个欧洲发展中国家当地分散的跨国公司单位业绩的贡献的宝贵投入。

International assignments, human capital resources and MNC subsidiary performance in CEE countries
Purpose Multinational companies (MNCs) expect the highest return from their locally dispersed units, and thus the factors that impact the success of the subsidiaries have been of great interest to the literature. Building on the resource-based view, this paper aims to explore the effects of a set of contextual resources, in particular, the international staffing (expatriate and inpatriate assignments) and human capital resources on the performance of foreign-owned subsidiaries in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. Design/methodology/approach By means of a survey applied on 295 MNC subsidiaries from five CEE countries (Hungary, Romania, Poland, Serbia and the Czech Republic), the paper reveals the main relationships between contextual subsidiary level resources (the in-coming and out-going international assignments, human capital resources at both employee and management level and the human resource knowledge transfer) and the subsidiary performance. Findings This paper brings empirical support for the positive relationship between the MNCs’ contextual resources, in particular, the inpatriate assignments, the human capital resources and the performance of the locally dispersed subsidiaries. The findings show an interaction effect between the inpatriate and the expatriate assignments on the performance of the subsidiaries. The empirical results bring an insight into the understanding of the added value that the out-going inpatriate assignments and the human capital resources have for the global businesses. Research limitations/implications This paper is empirical in nature and calls for further exploration of the topic on larger random MNC samples. The findings of this paper have the potential to improve how the management of the global businesses leverages the inpatriate assignments and human capital resources, thus leading to more value-added to stakeholders. Originality/value The originality of the paper stems from the implementation of the empirical survey in the dynamic but under-researched context of the CEE region. Thus, the findings reveal valuable input about the contribution of the human capital resources at the subsidiary level for the performance of the locally dispersed MNC units in five European developing countries.
