我们调查了影响非英语母语员工对其公司全球化承诺的因素，重点关注自我感知的英语语言能力和人力资源实践的作用。通过对日本693名非英语母语人士的调查，我们发现他们自我感知的英语语言能力和促进外语学习的人力资源实践对其公司全球化的情感和规范承诺具有直接和互动的影响。对于总部设在非英语国家的公司来说，当他们考虑将业务全球化到其他国家时，通过人力资源实践提高员工的英语语言能力是很重要的。
We investigate factors affecting the commitment of non-native English-speaking employees to the globalization of their firms, focusing on the role of self-perceived English language proficiency and human resource (HR) practices. By surveying 693 non-native English speakers in Japan, we found that their self-perceived English language proficiency and HR practices that promote learning a foreign language have direct and interactive effects on the affective and normative commitment to their firms’ globalization. It is important for firms based in non-Anglophone countries to promote English language proficiency of their employees through HR practices when they consider globalizing their operations to other countries.
