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

AY2022年在国际期刊（即ABS排名3 / 4）发表了以下两篇论文。Soehardjojo， Delbridge和Meardi（即将发表）这篇文章通过强调迄今为止被忽视的东道国阻力领域，并通过对日本跨国公司人力资源管理实践向印度尼西亚转移的定性研究，确定了这种阻力发挥作用的多个层面，从而有助于讨论国际人力资源管理扩散。我们发现，除了母国和东道国管理之间明显达成共识的微观层面（组织）关系外，重要的政治权力游戏也发生在中观层面（次国家）。这些游戏涉及与东道国参与者竞争“最佳实践”的概念，这些参与者比确定性扩散模型所预测的更强大。本文利用系统-社会-主导-公司效应（SSDC）框架，探讨了中观行为体（MeLAs）在人力资源实践扩散和适应过程中如何促进人力资源实践转移，并解释了中观行为体在日本管理模式向印尼汽车行业转移中的作用。本文主要关注两个问题：1)日本mela在日本的培训对模型传播的影响；2)日本和印度尼西亚mela在印度尼西亚知识共享和促进模型适应方面的协调战略。该研究强调了MeLAs在监管薄弱和权力关系不对称的新兴市场的扩散适应中的意义，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.
