自1997 - 1998年亚洲金融危机以来，韩国经历了大量外国资本涌入陷入困境的韩国公司。本研究展示了三家西方公司如何整合韩国目标公司的人力资源和组织文化，以及韩国员工如何应对实施的变化。数据显示，在人力资源管理和组织文化的变化不仅容忍，甚至赞赏韩国目标公司的员工。然而，组织文化的变化，鼓励更多的个人主义和儒家价值观相矛盾的负面看法。本文最后讨论了这项研究的实际意义和局限性。(c)2007年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Since the Asian financial crisis of 1997 - 1998, Korea has experienced a dramatic influx of foreign capital directed toward ailing Korean firms. This study shows how three Western companies integrated the human resources and organizational cultures of their Korean target firms and how Korean employees responded to the implemented changes. Data revealed that changes in human resource management and organizational culture were not only tolerated but even appreciated by the employees of Korean target firms. However, organizational culture changes encouraging more individualism and contradicting Confucian values were negatively perceived. The paper concludes with a discussion of the study's practical implications and limitations. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
