Full textAs a form of the contemporary process of rationalization, human resources management developed itself as a paradigm to organize social relations not only within the business industry, but also outside. This master thesis is based on the work of Siegfried Kracauer “The Salaried Masses” (1998 [1931]) that reveals the effects of the rationalized modern business industry on the mentality of the employees in the 1920’s. I propose to investigate the tension that the human resources management employees bear as they are, nowadays, both its carriers and objects. This tension, that binds the particular function of these employees within the business industry and their own condition as employees, forms the object of this master thesis. It is through the construction of relations toward the tension in an idealtypical form — specific to the Weberian approach – that this master thesis proposes to understand the employees’ condition in human resources management. By interpreting the relations toward the tension underpinned in this professional field with the four idealtypes constructed for this purpose (the accountant sergeant, the sport sergeant, she who takes upon herself and the synthetic), I bring to light the dilemmas that are likely to be experienced by these employees; dilemmas inherent to their condition in the rationalized world.

Full textThe aim of this research is to investigate the process of transfer of intra-organizational knowledge within multinational corporations. Taking into consideration the following three postulates: that organizational knowledge represents a source of competitive advantage for a firm (Barney, 1991; Bartlett and Ghoshal, 1998); that access to a large pool of knowledge disseminated across the world and the transfer of this knowledge across the organization constitutes la raison d’être of MNC (Gupta and Govindarajan, 2000); and that internal organizational mechanisms are more efficient than the market (Williamson, 1987) for the transfer of this knowledge between organizational units, for the purpose of this study we were particularly interested in the factors that can affect the effectiveness of this process of transfers. Having identified in past research various theoretical approaches to study this phenomena, we proposed and tested the integrative theoretical model helping to analyse the impact of contextual factors on each of the following three stages of the process of transfer: the determination of knowledge to be transferred, the selection of mechanisms of knowledge transfer and finally, the evaluation of the effectiveness of transfer. Our research confronts two theoretical perspectives currently dominating the field of knowledge transfer in multinational corporations. The strategic approach and the resource-based view of the firm emphasize the importance of internal organizational factors for the effectiveness of any organizational action (Bartlett and Ghoshal, 1998; Barney, 1991). On the other hand, the institutional approach considers rather that organizational choices and actions are conditioned by the external environment (Ferner, 1997; Kostova, 1999; Scott, 1991). The results of our research show that in spite of the existence of institutional and cultural constraints, the effectiveness of the entire process of transfer of knowledge related to HRM is determined by internal organizational conditions, such as the involvement of top management, the role of RH function and the alignment between corporative strategy, HR strategy and the organizational culture. Our methodological approach is based on a qualitative case-study of three multinational companies (two Canadian and one French) working in metallurgical and telecommunications sectors. Our empirical data stems from seventeen semi-structured interviews conducted with the top HR managers of these companies, who are actively involved in the process of knowledge transfer at HQ or at its subsidiaries in Canada, France, Germany and Switzerland. We also used a large amount of publicly available information from these companies.

Full textThis empirical study conducted in to the consulting engineering has two primary objectives: (1) the validation of relationships between certain characteristics of clients of human resources and their level of satisfaction with these services and (2) the study of relations between the competencies of HR professionals and the level of customer satisfaction. We selected a theoretical framework that consists mainly of the multiple constituencies approach. Our analytical model assumes that the satisfaction of the clients of a service of human resources department is influenced by eleven factors. Five of these factors reflect the characteristics of clients; 1-commitment, 2-age, 3-sex, 4-seniority and 5-the frequency of contact. The other six factors represent the skills of HR professionals; 1-operational executor, 2-business ally, 3-culture and change steward, 4-strategy architect, 5-talent manager and 6- credible activist. For purposes of our research, we use a quantitative and qualitative approach. The results of bivariate analysis refute our hypotheses. However, seniority and age of the customers seem to have a negative relationship with customer satisfaction. As for the analysis containing interviews conducted with HR professionals in an organization, it highlights the links between satisfaction and five skills, which are the operational executor, business ally, culture and change steward, talent manager and credible activist. Thus, five proposals are supported.

Full textOur study looks at how multinational corporations use and manage the international mobility of their employees. More specifically, we sought to determine to which extent multinationals consider their international management strategy in deciding how to use the expatriation managed through international mobility programs. Although the main purpose of our research is to observe the influence of the international management strategy on these programs, we also sought to identify other characteristics of each firm and its environment that may influence them. Our study, conducted among HR professionals responsible for management of international mobility, intended, in a first step, to identify the type of international management strategy favored by firms and the approach to international management of human resources they lead to. In a second step, we sought to identify the type of international mobility program in place in each firm from the analysis of their components (HR policies and practices). We drew two main conclusions of our study. First, international mobility, especially expatriation, is still an important tool for growth and survival of multinational corporations. Second, multinational corporations use expatriation differently depending on their strategic objectives and manage it very pragmatically, taking into account a variety of factors including the number of expatriates, the managerial culture of the company, the characteristics of their industry, their experience and difficulties encountered during the journey.

Full textThe purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between turnover and organizational performance, as well as to highlight the moderating effect of human resources practices on this relationship. This empirical research is based on sample of 241 Desjardins caisses populaires establishments, members of la Fédération des caisses Desjardins of Montréal and West of Québec in credit union sector. This study uses the theoretical framework of Arthur (1994) and Guthrie (2001) which suggests that turnover has a negative effect on organizational performance. Moreover, these authors suggest that human resources strategies will moderate in the relationship between turnover and organizational performance. In fact, the more organizations invest in human resources practices, the more employees’ departures are expensive because organizations lose this investment and the expected benefits related to it, which will, in return, affect organizational performance. Therefore, it would be relevant to consider the human resources strategies in the relationship between turnover and organizational performance. The results of the present study show a negative relationship between turnover and organizational performance. More precisely, we notice that turnover decreases productivity and increases costs. The moderating effect of human resources practices was significant. In fact, the effect between turnover and organizational performance is more negative when “commitment” human resources practices are implemented. Also, the association between turnover and organizational performance is attenuated when “involvement” human resources practices are implemented. This study illustrates the importance to consider human resources strategies in the organization to better qualify the impact of turnover on organizational performance. Therefore, this study might help management to adjust their human resources strategies to influence the impact of turnover on organizational performance. Key words: quit rate, turnover, organizational performance, human resources management, productivity, financial profit.

Full textDuring the last decade, many changes have been observed in the labor markets which have lead organizations to review their work conditions. By improving the work environment, organizations have been able to attract and retain good workers. Human resource professionals (HRP) are not an exception. Indeed, HRP have specific expectations, they also develop their own psychological contract. This research attempts to understand the intent to quit of a HRP. Specifically, this research seeks to identify the conditions of employment and of professional practice through the theory of psychological contracts. When these conditions are not met, they positively influence the intent to quit of a HRP. According to our statistical analyses, psychological contract breach of the conditions of employment and of the conditions of professional practice positively influences the intent to quit of a HRP. More specifically, the conditions of employment which influence the intent to quit of a HRP are related to career development, social atmosphere and job content. Moreover, the role of a change agent and a strategic partner are the conditions of professional practice that influence negatively the intent to quit of a HRP. However, the role of an administrative expert influences positively the intent to quit of a HRP. Finally, our analysis highlights the importance of respecting the conditions of employment compared to those associated to the conditions of professional practice. Indeed, we find that the breach of three conditions of employment that have a positive influence on the intent to quit of a PRH can be associated to career development, which is a value that is more and more important for a PRH in current times.

Full textThis research focuses on employer collective action to this day little studied in North America. Yet, this actor is highly organized in Quebec and has an influence on public policies and industrial relations. This research aims to gain a better understanding on employer’s logic action and the areas where they exert their influence. Most important, the research questions the diffusion mechanisms used by employer’s organizations to transmit orientations and guidelines to adopt by their members. Like the unions who has to develop their representative capacity (Dufour, Hege, Levesque and Murray, 2009), we believe it should be the same for the employers. Notably, this research wants to understand how the employers’ organizations makes sure that their members adopt practices related to the positions defended in labor market institutions and in the area of public’s policies. Our research question is the following one: What are the mechanisms developed by employers’ organizations to diffuse their orientations about public’s policies and labor relations on the local managing practices of their members? On the theoretical plan, this research is based on ideas developed by neo-institutionalism theories for a better explanation of how the actors used the institutions in place to shape the rules to their best interests, what points to a representative capacity and coherence in the actions between the levels where the employer is present. We are looking to understand how the employers’ organizations can coordinate the employers’ actions in reaction to the transformations in the institutional environment. The employers’ organizations are institutional entrepreneurs (Crouch, 2005) who are actively researching opportunities and power leverage to use to maximize their members’ interests and by the same occasion reduce the uncertainty issued from the environment (Campbell, 2004; Streeck et Thelen, 2005; Crouch, 2005). Still on the theoretical plan, this research is based on the ideas proposed by the logic of action sociology. This theoretical approach allows us to account for local and sectorial levels where the employers’ behaviors are rooted. On sectorial level, there is a plurality of instances who contributed to shape the logic of action of employers’ organizations. The logic of action sociology considered the employer organization as a group with a distinct life and a functional autonomy. The influence capacity of the organization depends on the coordination mechanisms used to generate agreement within the group. The coordination mechanisms should allow a regular and stable connection between the organization and their members. This research is interested by the employers’ organization that uses a set of means to diffuse the privileged orientations to the enterprises members. On the empirical plan, this research targets three objectives: (1) To gain a better understanding of the employers organizations forms in the Quebec mining sector; (2) obtain a better understanding of the structure and the logic of action of the employers organizations on the public policies, labor relations and labor market and finally, (3) to attain a better understanding of the mechanisms developed by the employers organizations to diffuse their orientations on the managing local practices of their members. In order to meet our research objectives, we used a qualitative research methodology; the case study of the Quebec mining industry was used. This method was processed in three steps; the preparation, the data collection and the interpretation (Merriam, 1998). Data for this research was collected during the winter of 2012 from interviews with mining enterprises managers and mining association managers. A qualitative analysis of the interview content was made and linked to the literature review and our research propositions. To this end, we used the patterns matching Yin (1994). This allowed us to compare our observations with our research propositions. In terms of results, we found that employers' associations in the mining sector in Quebec endorse further the role of spokesman for the industry to the government rather than service developer to members. Actions of employers' association takes place at all levels of the decision making process to ensure the best possible promotion of employers interests. Political representation is the most important field of activity which composes the logic action of employers' associations in the Quebec mining sector. It is important to note also that the representation of business interests with the public and media is also vital to employers’ collective action in the interests of social acceptability. Employers' associations will mainly try to influence industrial relations practices that ensure a better image of the industry and are prioritized based on the institutional context in place. Research has allowed us to observe a positive and significant impact on the diffusion capacity for five of the seven diffusion mechanisms composing our analysis model. Three of these five mechanisms promote downward diffusion capacity (transposition of the logic of sectoral action of members on local practices) and the other two tend to favor the upward diffusion capacity (transposition of local issues judged a priority on the sectors logic action). Mechanisms that better supports cohesion within the organization are those that involve a dynamic relationship between representatives and members and between members themselves thus demonstrating the relevance of a downward and upward diffusion direction. It should be noted that since this research is a case study, there is some methodological limits specifically in the generalization of the results. It is hard to state that the results of this micro-analysis are generalized regarded to the specificities of the case study. On the other hand, the analysis helped to the elaboration of a model that can be used for future studies.

Full textLabour force training has been the object of an extensive body of scientific literature for many years. In general, the main subjects examined in the scientific literature, in professional studies and in public policy discussions concern the effectiveness of labour force training and, more recently, the strategic dimension of labour force training with regard to possible effects on organisational performance. The results produced, however, have been qualified, unconvincing and at times contradictory (Cedefop, 2013, 2005). As a consequence, business leaders and public policy decision-makers lack the clear evidence needed to evaluate the impact of training on the performance of organisations. In the present study, a new theoretical and empirical perspective is offered with which to better understand the characteristics of businesses which evaluate the effectiveness of training, how the evaluations are conducted and the perceived effects thereof. In terms of its theoretical basis, this study utilises three different approaches in an integrative analytical model. In the hypothetical-deductive section of the study, the theory of human capital as well as the Kirkpatrick model and the strategic management of human resources allows for the verification of the motivation of employers with regard to training evaluation and the perception of its utility. In the more exploratory section of the thesis, the conceptual and explanatory powers of an institutionalist approach have been mobilised to understand the behaviour of organisations that do not conduct formal evaluations but which nonetheless perceive the positive effects of their training activities. In terms of methodology, this is an explicative analysis and an in-part exploratory quantitative approach based on the results of a study conducted in 2005 by Emploi-Québec and l’Institut de la statistique du Québec of businesses subject to the Loi favorisant le développement et la reconnaissance des compétences de la main-d’œuvre. Our main research findings suggest the existence of three types of factors which explain the perception of the effects of training: factors related to the organisation in question (the nature and extent of experience in training), factors related to the type of training and factors related to institutional action concerning training.

Full textEconomic transformations aimed at creating a unique international market, technology innovations and the availability of a highly-skilled workforce in low-wage countries urge company managers to reassess their organization and the location of their production capacities. This, in turn, increases flexibility, the only guarantee to ensure the survival of the organization (Atkinson, 1987; Patry, 1994; Purcell et Purcell, 1998; Kennedy, 2002; Kallaberg, Reynolds, Marsden, 2003 and Berger, 2006). One strategy displayed by organizations in order to remain competitive is outsourcing (Kennedy, 2002; Amiti and Wei, 2004; Barthélemy, 2004; Trudeau and Martin, 2006; Olsen, 2006). Technology, globalization and access to a new pool of highly skilled worforce make production fragmentation easier than it had been in past years and each link of the chain production attracts great amounts of attention to an optimum localization option (Hertveldt et al., 2005). In these conditions, all activities requiring no complex physical interaction between colleagues or between an employee and a customer are prone to be transferred to a subcontractor, be it here or abroad (Farrell, 2005). Most researches about outsourcing essentially concentrate on managerial motives to resort to it (Lauzon-Duguay, 2005) or on organizations’ successes or failures when trying to establish a strategy of that nature (Logan, Faught and Ganster, 2004). Nonetheless, potential impacts of outsourcing employees have rarely been considered in previous researches (Benson, 1998; Kessler, Coyle-Shapiro and Purcell, 1999 and Logan et al., 2004). However, human aspects must also be considered seriously because it could be the cause of success or failure of such a process. The human aspects surrounding the outsourcing process seem to play a role in the impact of outsourcing on employees. Thus, according to Kessler et al. (1999), three general factors would influence how employees perceive outsourcing: the way employees feel they were treated by their former employer (context), the degree of attractiveness of their new employment (pull factor) and the reality of employee experiences following the change in employer (landing). This research aims at understanding the impact of an organization’s decision to contract out a number of its activities on the employees who are therefore transferred to the subcontractor. More precisely, we want to understand what consequences the outsourcing of an organization named “Source” (the one who gives the activities and the employees) to an organization named “Destination” (the one who takes over the given activities and the workforce) can be found on the transferred employees when looking at their quality of life at work and at their working conditions. Many questions arise at this level. What is a successful transfer from the employees’ point of view? Are quality of life at work and working conditions impacted? To what level do the human aspects have an influence on the impact of the outsourcing of employees? What would be the best possible way to manage that kind of relocation from the employer’s point of view? The analysis model is composed of four variables. The first dependent variable (DV1) of our model relates to the quality of life at work of transferred employees. The second dependent variable (DV2) refers to the working conditions of transferred employees. The third variable, the independent variable (IV) relates back to the outsourcing of activities which contains two dimensions: (1) the decision of outsourcing and (2) the implementation process. The fourth variable, the moderator variable (MV), is the management of the human aspects that are considered on a three-dimensional basis: (1) context, (2) pull factor and (3) landing. Three research hypotheses result from our analysis model. The first two relate to the fact that outsourcing leads to a deterioration in the quality of life at work (H1) and of the working conditions (H2). The third hypothesis states that the management of the human aspects moderates the impact of employees who are contracted out (H3). This research consists of a case study conducted on a financial institution (Source) which outsourced its technology activities to an expert in IT organization (Destination). Eleven open-ended interviews were conducted with the key-players (transferred employees and managers from both organizations). Results show that outsourcing generally has a negative impact on transferred employees. On the other hand, it is not possible to generalize this assertion on all indicators. Results highlight the negative consequences found in intrinsic job motivation, organizational commitment as well as job satisfaction linked to its relational aspect. Outsourcing has also led to deterioration in working conditions of transferred employees when it comes to the level of job security, tasks content and evaluation, health and safety at work as well as the duration of work. But, from the employees point of view, the most significant consequences are related to the salary and the fringe benefits. The consequences of contracting out are, however, positive when it comes to professional accomplishment and job satisfaction linked to its technical aspect. As for interpersonal trust at work, work coordination, professional training and work location, there seems to have no significant consequences, according to what employees said when interviewed. Finally, results highlight the significant moderator effect of the human factors on the impact of outsourcing on the transferred employees. The financial institution (Source) tried to decrease the impact of outsourcing, but it was not sufficient. Employees were strongly attached to their first employer and did not want to leave it for another organization holding a different company culture that did not appeal to them. That is why the management of the human aspects contributed to amplifying the negative impacts of outsourcing, especially the ones related to the quality of life at work of transferred employees. Key words: (1) outsourcing, (2) transferred employees, (3) quality of life at work, (4) working conditions, (5) Information technologies (IT), (6) organization, (7) human resources management.

Full textChicha (2009) observes a ‘’black hole’’ in publications regarding the process that allows for a a higher rate of employment deskilling of immigrant women with university education; a ‘’black hole’’ that is considered to be a real problem. On one hand, the Quebec government is trying to implement immigration policies to increase the recruiting of immigrants with higher human capital, in the hope that they will readily find employment. On the other hand, a higher rate of employment diskilling in this group of workers shows that there is a dichotomy between their actual situation on the job market, and the government’s political objectives. Therefore, there appears to be systemic discrimination on the subject of employment diskilling targeting immigrant workers. In order to address this social justice issue and in the hope of getting a better understanding of the process that leads to employment diskilling of immigrant women, we hope this thesis will better define the concept of discrimination in employment and set the table for implementing more efficient policies that will effectively fight this particular type of discrimination. We consider that the holistic views that caracterize the systemic approach make it the best way to explain this ‘’black hole’’. We have met with 52 university-educated immigrant women; they have shared with us their professional work experience prior to and following their emigration to Canada. We addressed numerous issues such as their education; their professional experience; their planing for the migration of their family; the active steps they took both for the recognition of their foreign university degrees and for getting a job; their workplace experience, etc. The results of our research reveal that discrimination remains an issue in the job market in xv Quebec. Furthermore, issues relating to ethnic origin and skin color still permeate attitudes, behaviors and language, targeting immigrant women with university education in the job market. Van Laer & Janssens (2011) typologies were useful for identifying attitudes, behaviors and comments which could be considered subtle racism. We hope that one of the contributions of the present thesis will be the improvement of the systemic analysis framework , which will lead to a better understanding of university-educated immigrant women. Diverse theories pertaining to social psychology such as similarity attraction theory; social categorisation theory, LMX, (Roberson & Block, 2001) make it possible to refine this systemic analysis framework, and allow for a better understanding of the sometimes complex relations that can develop between individuals and result in open or subtle racism.
