Comparison of HR Practices and Employment Relations Philosophies in China and Taiwan

Human Resource Practices and Employment Relations Theory in China and Taiwan Introduction In the face of the expansion of globalization, China and Taiwan are now members of the World Trade Organization (WTO), closer to the open market economy and the world economic order Integration Both countries are inevitable (Magarinos et al., 2002). Human Resource Management (HRM) is one of the most important tools to improve grassroots productivity and competitiveness (Poole 1997).

Chow (2004) discovered that HR practices in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong are underdeveloped, passive and operational oriented. Although the skill level of Chinese employees is problematic, the Western individualist model of human resource development may not be appropriate; it is necessary to consider the background of China. Career development in China has revealed the continuing importance of cultural features such as concerns about human relations ("human relations"), status and "face". Managers were often assigned to state enterprises and began their managerial positions during the Cultural Revolution.

The lack of formal diplomatic relations between Republic of China (Taiwan) and the trading partner of Taiwan does not seem to seriously hinder Taiwan's rapidly expanding trade. The People's Republic of China has cultural and trade bases in more than 60 countries and has no official relationship with Taiwan representing Taiwan's interests. In addition to the WTO, Taiwan is also a member of the Asian Development Bank (also known as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum for "China Taipei" (the name of China's Impact Bank) and "China Taipei" For reasons). These trends reflect the economic importance of Taiwan and its desire to further integrate into the world economy.

The next issue is in Taiwan. Taiwan was once a major region of Central America relations, but the relationship has improved greatly. Taiwan is a major area of ​​development of technology industry and economic institution. This has benefited both the US and China. The relationship between China and Taiwan is also very good, so China's embargo on Taiwan could be impossible for some reason. One reason for a good relationship between the two countries is Taiwan's support from the United States. The United States and Taiwan have promised to sign many agreements from Taiwan's security issues to solving trade and investment disputes. Taiwan does not really need to worry about China. Many people still believe that the strait between China and Taiwan is the major hot spot in the world, but this may still be an invalid hypothesis in the near future.
