The focus in this article is to understand the extent to which the law protects a person from harassment, first based on the explication and application laws in the United Kingdom. The article then provides comparative discussion of laws and practices against workplace harassment in the United States. A major objective of this article is to help employers and managers become more expert in preventing and correcting harassment. 相似文献
The issue of uncertainty has been one of the most important topics in the research on multinational enterprises' foreign market entry modes. This paper provides a conceptual review of the literature on the role of uncertainty in entry‐mode strategies. It is found that transaction cost theory has focused primarily on entry modes as a way of minimizing behavioural uncertainty, while research using the more recent real options approach has distinguished between endogenous and exogenous types of uncertainty and provided evidence that managing uncertainty through appropriate entry modes may lead to competitive advantage. By synthesizing the relevant literature, this paper provides some new perspectives and avenues for future research on uncertainty and entry‐mode choices by considering the impact of firm learning, prior experience and host market attractiveness. 相似文献
The leadership tendencies of people are likely to be influenced by their cultural contexts. For example, it is expected that
people from high-context cultures are likely to be more focused on relationships. To explore the behavioral tendencies of
working adults in the cities of Tehran and Kerman, this pilot study focused on comparing the leadership and stress perceptions
of 228 Iranian respondents based on their age and gender. These respondents have a significantly higher score on relationship
orientation. On the other side, the younger respondents from Iran had a significantly higher score on the stress overload
perception. Practical suggestions for expatriates and implications for future studies are presented. 相似文献
Today??s working adults often display different leadership orientations, as well as moderate to severe levels of stress depending on the situation and various demographic traits. In order to explore the stress, task orientation and relationship orientation variables of German people, this study examined the differences of 232 respondents in Germany based on their gender, age, and public sector work experience. The results showed that respondents had dissimilar scores on their leadership orientations. Younger respondents had significantly lower task and relationship orientation scores. Furthermore, females reported having a significantly higher level of stress perception. These findings are useful for expatriate managers and professionals who work with German-born workers. Besides, relevant literature on the German culture, suggestions and implications for future studies are presented. 相似文献
The leadership behaviors of people are likely to be partially shaped by their cultural contexts. For example, it is expected
that people from high-context cultures are likely to be more focused on relationships. To explore the behavioral tendencies
of working adults in Oman, since there is a paucity of information on this population, this paper compares the leadership
perception of 129 government employees based on their age and gender. It appears that Omanis have similar scores on their
task and relationship orientations. Furthermore, gender and age did not produce any statistically significant differences.
Practical suggestions for expatriates and implications are presented. 相似文献

This study examined the relationship between change interventions and employee turnover intention to see if change interventions lead to increased employee turnover intention. Moreover, the mediating role of employee stress was tested. Data were collected from 162 respondents working at various administrative positions in a large public organization. The results indicate that employee turnover intention is positively correlated to human process, techno structural, human resources, and strategic interventions. Limitations and direction for future research are provided. 相似文献
Corporate entrepreneurship has long been acknowledged as critical to multinational enterprises (MNEs), with dispersed entrepreneurial efforts involving subsidiary initiatives becoming increasingly relied upon. Yet despite the global context in which MNEs operate, the conversation has not fully embraced the extent to which many of its entrepreneurial activities overlap with internationalization. In this paper, we identify a set of opportunity phenotypes for subsidiary initiatives based on their market focus as well as the knowledge and capabilities leveraged to identify and exploit the opportunity. The recursive relationship between opportunities and dynamic capabilities is then discussed, with an emphasis on building a research agenda for corporate international entrepreneurship. 相似文献
