Abstract
This thesis is concerned with HRM in Irish-owned multinational companies
(MNCs). For the purpose of this research, HRM is understood in its broadest sense
as encompassing the policies, processes and procedures involved in the management
of people within organisations (Sisson, 1989). Adopting a head office-centred
approach, this thesis specifically focuses on two dimensions of FIRM: (i) the
collective management of non-managerial employees, that is the management of
industrial relations (IR), and (ii) the management of non-operational human
resources (HR), that is the management of managers. Chapter four will outline in
greater detail the rationale for this focus. Finally, given the paucity of empirical
research into the behaviour of Irish-owned MNCs and the broad leaning of the Irish
HRM literature towards the practices of foreign-owned MNCs based within Ireland,
this research is exploratory in nature.
