Labour flexibility in Chinas Companies:
YONGPING CHEN
An Empirical Study
companies in China. It addresses how HRM contributes and facilitates
management in coping with increasing market competition. Flexible
labour practices are related to the company level HR system, and
change of the HR policies and practices entails a consistency
perspective. Chinese managers have strong incentives to increase
flexibility
in
the
company.
They
simultaneously
face
constraints and/or opportunities as related to legacies and changes

in the institutional framework of a Transition Economy.

is the Research School (Onderzoeksschool) in the field of
management of the Erasmus University Rotterdam.

Labour flexibility in Chinas Companies:
YONGPING CHEN
An Empirical Study
companies in China. It addresses how HRM contributes and facilitates
management in coping with increasing market competition. Flexible
labour practices are related to the company level HR system, and
change of the HR policies and practices entails a consistency
perspective. Chinese managers have strong incentives to increase
flexibility
in
the
company.
They
simultaneously
face
constraints and/or opportunities as related to legacies and changes

in the institutional framework of a Transition Economy.
The Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM)

is the Research School (Onderzoeksschool) in the field of
management of the Erasmus University Rotterdam.
