Abstract
This study explores the human resource management (HRM) preferences of Chinese employees, based on a sample of 2852 questionnaires from organizations in China. The research findings show a strong 'group orientation' and a great emphasis on 'soft factors' such as seniority, loyalty and connections in many HRM areas. It is argued that certain areas of Chinese HRM are converging to the Western model, but the influence of traditional Chinese personnel practices remains strong. A 'group orientation', a major emphasis on 'soft factors' and a trade union presence will remain as the three main features of Chinese HRM in the long term. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.
