Responsible OrganizationAbstract
The impact of institutionalized contexts on the HRM activities of multinational firms has
become a focus of increasing attention in recent literature. However, theories of how different
types of business systems or market economies may influence HRM, and the impact of
context on multinational corporations (MNCs) operating under these different conditions are
still not fully tested. In this paper the influence of the extent of institutional embeddedness of
different national contexts (based on varieties of capitalism theory) on the HRM activities of
MNCs is explored through the use of extensive survey data from four countries: the UK,
Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. Evidence is found of differences in HRM practices
between foreign- and domestic-owned MNCs, as well as between MNCs and domestic
organizations. Although less than expected, the restricted amount of leeway within a
coordinated economy also appears to have differential effects on the various HRM practices
explored in these foreign and domestic organizations.
