More and more HRM systems today are being changed to e-HRM systems in China. This is mainly due to the advent of Internet technology and the emerging concept of business intelligence. This study shows the evolution of information systems and information processing in the HRM domain and provides an implementation case in a large Chinese state-run enterprise. The experiences and lessons learned f...

Theory building has lagged on the intermediate linkages responsible for the relationship between HRM and firm performance. We introduce the construct “strength of the HRM system” and describe the metafeatures of an HRM system that result in a strong organizational climate, analogous to Mischel’s “strong situation,” in which individuals share a common interpretation of what behaviors are expecte...

This paper explores empirically future developments in information and communication technology (ICT) and its implications for human resource management (HRM). The paper applies the Delphi method and draws on a panel of anonymous experts comprising e-HRM academics from Europe and e-HRM practitioners from Finland. Findings indicate that developments in social media are believed to have several m...

This paper brings the differentiation perspective of human resource management (HRM) to China's context of economic transition, and constructs a hybridism rationale to explain the distinctive characteristics of Chinese HRM. We respectively discuss the effect mechanisms of commitment-based, control-based, collaboration-based, and contract-based HRM archetypes in China. Then, by comparing the pat...

BACKGROUND Chronic diseases are a leading contributor to work disability and job loss in Europe. Recent EU policies aim to improve job retention among chronically ill employees. Disability and occupational health researchers argue that this requires a coordinated and pro-active approach at the workplace by occupational health professionals, line managers (LMs) and human resource managers (HRM)....

BACKGROUND The esophageal involvement in systemic sclerosis (SSc) causes impact in the morbidity and mortality. High resolution manometry assesses esophageal involvement. Our aim was to categorize esophageal motor disorder in patients with SSc by HRM. METHODS We carried out an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study. All patients underwent HRM as well as semi-structured interview...

INTRODUCTION High-resolution manometry (HRM) of the esophagus is a new technique that provides a more precise assessment of esophageal motility than conventional techniques. Because HRM measures pressure events along the entire length of the esophagus simultaneously, clinical procedure time should be shorter because less catheter manipulation is required. According to manufacturer advertising, ...

BACKGROUND The aim of the research was to explore a cost effective, fast, easy to perform, and sensitive method for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation testing. METHODS High resolution melting analysis (HRM) was introduced to evaluate the efficacy of the analysis for dectecting EGFR mutations in exons 18 to 21 using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues and plasma free ...

In this paper we test the HRM/union substitution hypothesis that human resource management (HRM) practices act as a substitute for unionization. We use British workplace data between 1980 and 1998 which allows us to examine for the first time whether increased HRM incidence has coincided with union decline. First, we compare changes over time in the incidence of HRM practices across union and n...

With the goal to generate and characterize the phenotypes of null alleles in all genes within an organism and the recent advances in custom nucleases, genome editing limitations have moved from mutation generation to mutation detection. We previously demonstrated that High Resolution Melting (HRM) analysis is a rapid and efficient means of genotyping known zebrafish mutants. Here we establish o...
