Attitudes to pay systems: an exploratory study within and across cultures
Article Abstract:
Recent research has looked at employee attitudes to criteria on which pay systems are based, such as cost of living, tenure, performance, special demands and collective bargaining. Particular attention was given to variations in employee attitudes in Malaysia, Australia, Hong Kong and Indonesia. There were found to be particular variations in attitudes towards using educational achievement and length of service as a basis for determining pay levels. It is clear that flexible reward systems which take into account the range of employee attitudes offer particular advantages.

Culture, control and commitment in international joint ventures
Article Abstract:
Research carried out on international joint ventures (IJVs) in South Korea has found that employees of a bank affiliated to a Japanese enterprise displayed more employee commitment. This is in line with the research hypothesis that commitment and perception of corporate welfarism would be greater at such a bank than in a bank affiliated to a US enterprise. The culture gap between US notions and those of Korean employees affected the performance of the US-affiliated bank.
