Hrm in the international organizations

Abstract

This chapter focuses on Human Resource Management (HRM) in Inter-Organizational Organizations (IGOs). The unique context of IGOs has created typical corporate governance structures that affect the shaping of employment relationships in terms of staffing, training, compensation, benefits, development, and performance. There are many different forms of IGOs with each having a distinctive historical background, organizational culture and structure with systems. Bureaucracy and new public management heavily affect HRM in IGOs. Competition among organizations exists but on a different level than most private companies. IGOs, for example, compete for specific talent groups and for specific missions and possible financial resources to support the missions (e.g., fighting poverty). Less governmental financial support will put more pressure on IGOs, the employees who work in these organizations and therefore the people management: HRM.
