Sustainable Human Resource Development in Peripheral Global Supply Chain Manufacturing Hub Nations in the Time of COVID-19

在国际期刊上发表以下两篇论文（即ABS在AY 2022中排名3/4）。Soehardjojo、Delbridge和Meardi（即将出版）本文通过强调迄今为止被忽视的东道国阻力领域，并确定这种阻力发挥作用的多个层面，通过对日本跨国公司人力资源管理实践向印尼转移的定性研究。我们发现，除了显然是一致同意的微观层面（组织）的关系，母国和东道国的管理，重要的政治权力游戏发生在中观层面（国家以下）。这些博弈涉及到“最佳实践”的概念与东道国的行为者之间的竞争，这些行为者比确定性扩散模型所预测的更为强大。（即将出版）本文探讨了中层行动者（MeLA）如何在传播和适应过程中促进人力资源实践转移，借鉴系统-社会-支配-企业效应（SSDC）框架来解释的作用，MeLA在日本的管理模式转移到印尼汽车行业。它侧重于两个问题：（i）日本MeLA在日本的培训对模型传播的影响;（ii）日本和印度尼西亚MeLA在知识共享和促进印度尼西亚模型适应方面的协调战略。该研究强调了MeLA在监管薄弱和不对称权力关系的新兴市场的扩散适应中的重要性，扩展了SSDC框架。

Published the following two papers in international journals (i.e. ABS rank 3 out of 4) in AY2022.Soehardjojo, Delbridge, and Meardi (forthcoming)This article contributes to debates on international HRM diffusion both by highlighting hitherto neglected arenas of host-country resistance and identifying the multiple levels at which this plays out, through qualitative research on the transfer of Japanese multinational corporations’ HRM practices into Indonesia. We reveal that alongside apparently consensual micro-level (organization) relations between home- and host-country management, important political power games are occurring at the meso-level (subnational). These games involve competing notions of ‘best practice’ with host-country actors more powerful than deterministic models of diffusion would predict.Soehardjojo and Delbridge (forthcoming)This article investigates how meso-level actors (MeLAs) contribute to HR practice transfer in diffusion and adaptation processes, drawing on the System-Society-Dominance-Corporate Effects (SSDC) framework to interpret the role of MeLAs in the transfer of the Japanese management model to the Indonesian automotive industry. It focuses on two issues: i) the impact of Japanese MeLAs' training in Japan on the model's diffusion, and ii) the coordinated strategy of Japanese and Indonesian MeLAs in knowledge-sharing and facilitating model adaptation in Indonesia. The study highlights MeLAs' significance in diffusion-adaptation in emerging markets with weak regulations and asymmetric power relations, extending the SSDC framework.
