Staffing recruitment and selection of INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENTAparrajithaAriyadasa
In staffing in international business, HR managers must determine when or where to expatriation. Expatriate workers are frequently assigned to key positions in overseas operations. Human resource managers must also decide on the issue of compensation. The compensation of expatriate workers must be examined along with compensation of local workers and the compensation of workers in the home country. Differences in compensation packages have significant implications on staffing success, expatriate performance and business performance. HR managers must also address the issue of repatriation. Repatriation happens when the worker needs to come back to the home country, usually to continue working for the company. Repatriation also happens when the expatriate worker retires. These issues have significant effects on the perspectives and performance of expatriate workers and local workers, and the effectiveness of IHRM in staffing.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

– It is the process of assessing an individual's performance in a
systematic way.
– The performance being measured against various job related
factors as well as individual traits.
– In addition one's potential for performance is measured.
IHRM is a process “that enables the multinational to evaluate and
continuously improve individual, subsidiary unit and corporate performance,
against clearly defined, pre-set goals and targets”.

employee's skills with the goal to facilitate, train and develop abilities and
power to their employees

11. Purpose Performance Appraisal
To provide feedback to individuals about how well they are doing
To provide a basis for rewarding top performers
To identify areas in which additional training and development may be needed
To identify problem areas that may call for a change in assignment
12. Problem: Performance appraisal
Unintentional bias
• Host-nation biased by cultural frame of reference
• Home-country biased by distance and lack of experience working abroad
• Expatriate managers believe that headquarters unfairly evaluates and under
appreciates them
13. Guidelines for performance appraisal
More weight should be given to onsite manager’s evaluation as they are able
to recognize the soft variables
Expatriate who worked in same location should assist home-office manager
with evaluation
If foreign on-site managers prepare an evaluation, home-office manager should
be consulted before completion of formal the terminal evaluation
14. Challenges of International Performance
Management
• Total company vs. part of it.
• Standardized or customized appraisal
form
• Time differences and distance separation
• Unreliable data across boundaries
• Complex and volatile environments
• Who conducts the performance appraisal
• Frequency of appraisal
• Variable levels of maturity
• Volatility of the global environment
• Non-comparable data
• Cultural adjustment
• Host environment
• Raters Bias
15. Performance Criteria
Contextual
goals
Soft
goals
Hard
goals
An appraisal system that uses hard, soft
and contextual criteria is advocated
Hard Goals: are objective,
quantifiable, and can be directly
measured such as Return-on-Investment
( ROI ), market share, so on
Soft Goals: tend to be relationship-
based or trait-based such as leadership
style, interpersonal skills, etc.
Contextual Goals: attempt to take into
consideration factors that result from the
situation in which performance occurs.
16. Factors to be considered in individual performance
& appraisal process
Headquarters’ support
Compensation Package
Task
Host Environment
Expatriate Performance Management System
Cultural Adjustment
17. Compensation: such assignments taken for
perceived financial benefits and career progression
Compensation is one of the key factor closely associated with expat’s
performance.
Well compensated expatriates definitely happier and more productive.
Pay, according to Herzberg's two factor theory of motivation, is a
hygiene factor which
when adequately provided for removes dissatisfaction but fails to activate
motivation and
performance.
But money continues to remain as one of the most significant
motivators for expats.
18. 2. Task:
An expatriate is sent on an overseas assignment either as chief executive, system
replicator, trouble shooter or as a simple operator.
Whatever, the nature of assignment, task has considerable impact on an
individual’s
performance.
A tougher task tends to evolve better performance than a job which is relatively
easy to
handle.
People tend to show their best when the job is tough and challenging.
19. Head quarter’s support
Home office support is a crucial in expatriate performance.
An assignee has accepted an overseas job for three objectives: making
extra money, career prospectus and loyalty to the organization and
commitment to make the firm successful.
It is necessary that the home office extends support and offer moral
courage by psychological counseling, particularly in times when the
expatriate is passing through a culture shock.
20. Host Environment:
Environment wields considerable influence on performance, particularly of the
expatriate. If the host environment is hostile, expatriate are under constant
pressure and often, there is a threat to their life itself.
The form of ownership of the subsidiary is also important. For instance, it may
be relatively easier to perform in a wholly owned subsidiary than in a joint venture
with a state owned enterprise in China.
Conflicting goals between parent companies are a common problem within
international joint ventures and can make the expatriate’s job more difficult.
21. The ability to live comfortably in an alien culture – is essential for the success of an
expatriate. Multicultural adjustability refers to being sensitive to the host culture, the
expat’s multicultural sensitivity, language ability, diplomacy, adaptability, positive
attitude, emotional stability and maturity.
It is not enough if the expat. Alone acquires cross cultural adjustability. The trailing
spouse to adjust is often a major reason behind expatriate failure
Cultural Adjustment
22. The international HR Manager should decide on 3 key areas while assessing
an expatriate’s performance:
- Specific performance criteria
- Identifying the appraisers
- deciding on the frequency of appraisal
Expatriate’s performance
appraisal
Basically there are three categories of performance indicators:
1. Trait based (soft goal) – leadership style, interpersonal skill etc.
2. Behavior based (contextual goals) – attempts to take into consideration factors that
results
from the situation in which performance occurs.
3. Result based (Hard goals) – objectives, quantifiable, and can be directly measured
such as Return On Investment (ROI), market share and so on.
23. Non-expatriate Performance management
• A seemingly neglected group
• Performance effects of factors associated with constant air
travel
– Depression, nervous anxiety, sleep disturbance, health issues
• Stress associated with frequent absences and effect on family
relationships
• Non-standard assignments such as commuter arrangements and
virtual assignments share these aspects
24. Performance Appraisal at

29. Appraisal of HCN Employees -
Japan

customs affects the way in which the performance appraisal is conducted.
A Japanese manager can not directly point out a work related problem
or error committed by a subordinate.
Developmental appraisal is usually conducted every month and
evaluation appraisal is performed after 12 years.
Feed back is subtle and given orally, Japanese employees never rebut.
Appraisal process praise is given to the group.
30. Appraisal of HCN Employees-
USA
Workers performance appraisals featured the us cultural concept
of meritocracy, which emphasis fairness and a short term
orientation.
Employee expect to be appraised individually and heavily on
individual feedback regarding performance.
P.A in the US are usually conducted once a year.
Feedback in the US process is direct and probably in writing.
US employees tend to present their own rebutted to the feed
back
Appraisal process praise is given individually

encouraged, even if it is not prevalent yet.
– People's Republic of China (PRC): Collective leadership
is widely used but the participation of workers in major
decisions is superficial and symbolic.
