Abstract:

Developing international human resources management, including the position of international human resources departments, is the result of the globalization process. Working in an international environment is demanding and requires collaboration among people of different cultures. Local policy used in domestic companies is changing its format and is becoming more international. The approaches of multinational companies to the international human resources management are influenced by the degree of convergence and divergence in attitudes and management of the company. Examining the specificities of international human resources management and differences in the approaches of the multinational company's headquarters to subsidiaries in Slovakia is the goal of the paper. A prerequisite for achieving the stated goal is to conduct a survey with the managers of multinational companies, using a structured questionnaire. The opinions of managers on the advantages and disadvantages of working in the international environment are evaluated taking into account the current theoretical knowledge, the degree of centralization and decentralization of management and the specifics of national culture. The result of our examination is the adoption of generalizing conclusions on the problems of international human resources management and the formation of a commonly accepted culture in a multinational company.
