Barriers perceived by young Chinese adults to their employment in companies in the UK

Article Abstract:

A survey of 73 young Chinese adults in the UK has found that perceived discrimination acts as a deterrent to seeking work with white employers. This is one reason why Chinese tend to be found in professional jobs, where they perceive less discrimination, or in the lower reaches of the labor market, in the Chinese catering industry. Young Chinese adults see language and other cultural barriers as important. Employers would have to take a proactive stance, seeking to attract employees from ethnic minorities, for this problem of perceived discrimination to be tackled.

Human resource management implications of dual-career couples

Article Abstract:

A survey of dual-career couples in banking, retailing, law firms and the public sector in Australia has found little support for such couples from employers. Law firms are especially unhelpful and there is a large pool of labor for such companies to choose from. The public sector tends to be more supportive than the private sector, but there is room for a more proactive approach. Employee goodwill and skill may be an important competitive advantage for some companies, in which case more attention should be paid to the needs of dual-career couples.

Expatriation: Corporate policy, personal intentions and international adjustment

Article Abstract:

Expatriate executives have to adjust to a new cultural environment in the work context, and research shows that there are significant premature return rates. Corporate policies on expatriation are investigated and personal expatriate career intentions are studied. The extent to which these factors are linked to the international adjustment of business expatriates is determined. The data was based on a large mail questionnaire to Western business expatriates in Hong Kong.
