摘要：The increasing globalisation of the marketplace combined with an ever increasing
shortage of skilled staff and advances in technology has resulted in large scale
changes to remuneration practices throughout the world. And as Asian firms are
unlikely to be immune from these challenges, an exploration was conducted with
four multinational corporations (MNCs) based in Malaysia to assess the potential
for their strategic remuneration policies to attract qualified international
staff. A key aim of the study was to establish if the remuneration policies of
this sample of MNCs that operate in the important chemical industry, are aligned
with global practices. Specifically, four MNCs in the chemical industry, which
were selected based on equity ownership, were analysed to ascertain if
remuneration policies in the MNCs in Malaysia are being aligned with global
trends by providing an account of remuneration policies practised in these four
MNCs. In addition to identifying the relevant HRM practices commentary is
provided of current knowledge in terms of best remuneration practices that could
be emulated by local organisations as well as other institutions in the Asia
Pacific region. A salient focus of the study is to assess if globalised foreign
owned MNCs are more likely to align their remuneration policies with global
trends rather than with the practices employed by locally owned MNCs. The
findings are discussed in terms of implications for HR practitioners,
particularly those in Malaysian organisations.
