...InterClean Company Development Plan University of Phoenix-Diamond Bar HRM/531 Human Capital Management September 19, 2010 InterClean looks at two key elements of a job analysis, one it identification of major job requirements (MJR) which are the most important duties and responsibilities of the position to be filled. They are the main purpose or primary reasons the position exists. The primary source is the most current, official position description. The second element is identification of knowledge, skills and abilities (KSA) required to accomplish each MJR and the quality level and amount of the KSA’s needed. Most job analysis deal with KSAs that are measurable, that can be documented, and produce meaningful differences between candidates. Typically, possession of KSAs is demonstrated by experience, education, or training. Goals of KSAs is to identify those candidates who are potentially best qualified to perform the position to be filled.

...WORKGROUP SALARY DISPERSION AND TURNOVER INTENTION IN CHINA: A CONTINGENT EXAMINATION OF INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES AND THE DUAL DEPRIVATION PATH EXPLANATION W E I H E , L I - R O N G L O N G , A N D B Å R D K U VA A S The present study generalizes previous pay dispersion research to the Chinese context by examining the cross-level relationship between workgroup salary dispersion and employee turnover intention contingent on individual differences. Field survey data including annual objective salary and self-reported attitudes among 370 Chinese employees in 51 organizational workgroups supported our cultural predictions by showing that the relationship between workgroup salary dispersion and turnover intention was positive only among employees with higher rather than lower levels of Chinese traditionality and among those with lower rather than higher salary levels. Furthermore, the results of mediated moderation analyses suggest that a dual-deprivation path model can explain the above relationships. We discuss the theoretical, cultural, and practical implications of these findings for organizations. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Keywords: salary dispersion, Chinese traditionality, turnover intention Introduction E mployee turnover is a challenge for organizations and managers not only because of the decreased firm performance followed by the loss of talent, but also due to the expensive replacement cost associated with hiring, selecting, and training...

...THE APPLICATION OF CHANGE MANAGEMENT THEORY TO HR PORTAL IMPLEMENTATION IN SUBSIDIARIES OF MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS Cataldo Dino Ruta HR portals are complex information technology (IT) applications that can be accessed by all employees of a given organization. By placing more applications and information online, HR portals reduce the reliance employees have on HR personnel. Given this relational change, from human to computer, the HR portal implementation process must take into account the challenges of both change management and technology acceptance. By integrating change management theories with IT user acceptance models, this article adds to HR’s collective knowledge of ways to effectively implement HR portals. In addition, this article describes the cross-national challenges that exist when a global firm attempts to implement an HR portal around the world. Thus, this article will present a model that (1) integrates change management theories and IT user acceptance models and (2) illustrates the ways in which change management plans may need to be adapted to be effective in various subsidiaries. A case study of Hewlett-Packard’s (HP’s) worldwide implementation of their @HP Employee Portal in the Italian subsidiary of HP illustrates the key issues of these theories. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
