Multinational Parent Companies' Influence over Human Resource Decisions of Affiliates: U.S. Firms in Mexico
This study provides empirical evidence for the relationship between the degree of influence U.S. parent companies have over the human resource decisions of their Mexican affiliates and the affiliates' resource dependencies on the parent company. Both wholly-owned and Joint venture affiliates are examined. Resource dependence was the factor most closely related to parent influence over affiliate human resource decisions. The importance of an affiliate to a parent company, the nationality of affiliate managers, and the type of ownership arrangements were also found to affect parent influence, but to lesser extents than resource dependencies.© 1989 JIBS.
