Abstract
This study examines the challenges facing China's increasingly complex human resource management (HRM) after its WTO accession and consequently the implications for further reform of government policy and enterprise-level HRM practices. The paper concludes that current HR practices are diverse between enterprises with different ownership, industry sector, location and history. The direction of future changes may depend on the level of involvement from external forces as well as internal strategies adopted by Chinese enterprises to survive.
