CRANET Survey of HRM Policies and Practices
The Center for International Human Resource Studies (CIHRS) team is poised to reach out to HR managers in organizations across the United States to gather data for the 2020/21 round of the CRANET survey. CRANET is a global network of academic institutions carrying out a regular survey of the state of HRM in organizations across more than forty countries, tracking how HR has evolved over time since 1989.
The last round of survey results are available free-of-charge in a report that provides an overall picture of HRM in a wide range of organizations across the United States. Please contact us at cihrs@psu.edu if you would like to receive a full copy of the report. You can also read more about the results in this news story.
Effective Work Design across Cultures
This study is being conducted by the Ambassadors of the HR Division of the Academy of Management, for which Elaine Farndale is the U.S. Ambassador. Work can be a joy or a chore – a source of meaning, purpose, and satisfaction, or a source of frustration, dissatisfaction, and alienation. Addressing the challenge of what constitutes ‘good work design’, we base this study on the validated Work Design Questionnaire (WDQ): a measure of twenty-one work characteristics. Furthermore, we explore cultural values to identify how these affect the relationship between elements of work design and employee outcomes of job satisfaction, organizational citizenship behavior, turnover intentions, and burnout

Employee Perceptions of HRM in Workplaces Worldwide
CIHRS is partnering with colleagues from across the globe to explore the influence of individuals’ cultural values on the effectiveness of HRM systems on stimulating desired individual attitudes and behaviors in the workplace, such as affective commitment and work engagement. These outcomes having previously been linked to important productivity and performance outcomes at the firm level. Gathering data as part of a multi-country study, the research is also uncovering how cultural values affect the HRM process in organizations.
Data are currently being collected and initial findings have been presented at Academy of Management meetings.
