Strategic human resource management practices in Singapore

121 p.The authors' research objectives are to examine the management practices of Singapore's companies and draw some conclusions on the extent to which strategic human resource practices are adopted in Singapore. This research would be beneficial to all human resource (HR) practitioners who take a more strategic view of HR functions as no empirical data has been gathered to support the relevant literature studies on it. Hence, a survey was conducted on randomly chosen companies operating in Singapore. Besides, interviews with HR directors and managers of thirteen Multinational Corporations (MNCs) in Singapore and Executive Directors of two local Human Resource Management (HRM) Institutions were carried out, attempting to gain a deeper understanding in this field.BUSINES
