Investigating the influence of individual differences on employee perceptions of HRM: A cross cultural approach

Dr. Jorgensen received an Internal Grant for Research funds for a quantitative research design to explore understanding and attributions of human resource management.

In this project, we investigate the influence of individual differences on employee perceptions of human resource management (HRM). Specifically, using a quantitative research design we examine how childhood and family background (imprinting), and the work situation/profession of the employees and their parents/ partners impact employee perceptions, understanding and attributions of HRM. This project is part of a cross cultural study building on the Global HRM project (2012-17) that resulted in numerous top-tier publications and conference presentations/symposiums at the Academy of management. As such, it is an integral part of the applicant’s research strategy for the coming years.
