    Instituto de Estudios Laborales

    Dear Friends, colleagues and interested readers:

    The Institute for Labor Studies (Instituto de Estudios Laborales) hereafter IEL is a researchcenter created by ESADE in order to study Human Resource Management issues and concerns ina broader perspective. With over 45 years of experience ESADE had established its reputation asone of the best business schools in the world. Its teaching excellence had been reflected in theratings by Business week or Wall St. Journal or Financial Times. Research in ESADE, Has takena new strategic emphasis and IEL is rapidly becoming one of its flagship example.

    As a management school, we are interested in understanding real life problems in the world ofwork. Thus the core research activities in IEL has an applied focus. We hope that the fruits of ourrigorous research will add value to the corporate world (including unions and governmentagencies) on one hand, and to the scholar community on the other hand.

    Over the past three years, IEL has developed its core research activities around three thematicthemes:

    a) Culture and corporate values b) Emerging themes in managing human resources , and

    c) Health and quality of work life .

    IEL counts on the collaboration of many of ESADEs full time faculty as well as numerousdoctoral students and several scholars from other renown academic centers around the globe. IELis funded by grants obtained from public agencies (i.e. the European Union, the Spanish and/orthe Catalan governments) as well as grants obtained from corporate sponsors (i.e. Randstad, SAP,FREMAP, etc.).

    This document, aims to introduce you to the various ongoing research projects in IEL (for theyear 2004) as well as projects to be undertaken in 2005. We also provide a short description ofour tangible academic outputs in terms of conferences, articles and books.

    Abstract

    The objective of this study was to identify the underlying value structure of

    work and life values amongst MBA students and to empirically identifyMBA schools who adhere to a specific value system in training/forming

    their students. Teams from 26 business schools around the globecompleted the IEL Values Questionnaire. After data reduction of the IEL

    value questionnaires through an exploratory factor analysis, threeprincipal dimensions of values were found. A series of ANOVA analysesapplied to these values was than performed and results show great

    similarity in the structure of work and life values across MBA students andacross business schools. Results for the economic and emotional

    dimensions of values show statistically significant differences amongstthe business schools. Also mean scores of life values were almost alwayslower than work values. Does that mean that work is more important than

    private life for professionals such as MBAs? The discussion is t acklingthis issue in the context of contemporary pressure applied on the

    executives of tomorrow.

    TRIAXIAL VALUES MODEL

    The essence of the model suggest that in order to surviveand remain competitive in the 21st century turbulent

    environment, firms need to optimize its various resourcesin order to simultaneously satisfy its multiple stakeholders.The model thus, propose that the task of future leaders willbe to strike an intelligent balance in achieving economic,emotional and ethical objectives. Firms that will have thecapacity to reengineer this type of culture will survive in

    the 21st century. Given that the probability of movingfrom the actual state (mission) to the future state (vision)

    depends on a great extend on the motivation of theworkforce to commit, we need to better understand the

    value structure and to shape it so it is congruent with thestrategic objectives of the firm.

    General conclusion:By and large MBAstudents (wherever they

    are) accord similarimportance to economic,ethical and emotionalvalues in a symmetricalmanner.

    By contrast, MBA studentsaccord relatively lessimportance to economic values

    in their life sphere (comparedto work sphere), and accordalso less importance relative toother values (emotional andethical).

    FINAL COMMENTS & REFLECTIONS

    Results show great similarity in the structure of work and life valuesacross MBA students and across business schools.

    Moreover, it seems that there is an interesting balance between thethree dimensions of values for the vast majority of business schools(and students) in both work and life context.

    Results for the economic and emotional dimensions of values showstatistically significant differences amongst the business schools

    participating in this study. However, these differences were notfound in regard to the ethical dimension. It is interesting to note that life values are almost always lower than

    work values. Does that mean that work is more important thanprivate life for professionals such as MBAs? Or does it mean thatperhaps we had not included the real important values for private lifein this study?

    ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to test empirically a triaxial model of

    managing by values as been advocated recently by Dolan & Garcia (2002)and Garcia & Dolan (1997, 2003). By and large, the authors claim thatorganization culture can be described in terms of three orthogonaldimensions (or axis) critical to organizational success: Pragmatic Economic, emotional-creative and ethical-social. A confirmatory factoranalysis based on a pool of initial 75 values was used to validate the model.

    The data were tested amongst 177 students attending three universities inthe Barcelona region. Results show that , effectively, the triaxial model isrepresented as hypothesized, through an underlying structure of theuniverse of values according to the three dimensions. Nonetheless, not allitems fitted into the model, but the total explained variance amounts to65%. The end result however, is the construction of a valid instrument formeasuring culture by extrapolating the three essential dimensions. The

    discussion illustrates the application of the said model as a strategy fordiagnosing value congruency (i.e. personal value vs. organizational values)in an attempt to change the culture of an organization..

    OVERVIEW OF THE

    RESEARCH

    Objectives and anticipated resultsThe aim of the present study is to test a series of

    hypotheses pertaining to the relationships between several

    dimensions of Emotional Intelligence, their impact onCultural Adjustment of Expatriate managers and

    respectively and the impact on the International Assignment

    Success

    It is hoped that the results will strengthen the propositions

    made by numerous scholars who emphasize the

    importance of non-technical factors in explaining success

    in international assignments (i.e. Halcrow, 1999). At the

    same time, the results may lead to enlarge the perspective

    on selection strategy in an international assignment

  • 7/29/2019 Reserch Project

    19/66

    Conceptual model

    Due to the complexity of conceptualizing anddefining International assignment success as wellas the host of independent variables that mightexplain this phenomenon, (i.e. personal traits ofthe expatriate, family consideration,

    organizational parameters and the host countryculture), a conceptual systemic model has beendeveloped inspired by the work of Katz & Seifer(1996) and Caligiuli (2000).

    A paper based on the conceptual framework was published in:

    1.The Pilot study had been completed and survey tested. Reliabilityin generally good. Had to change the satisfaction questionnaire for

    another measure due to various psychometric and practicalconsiderations.

    Data had been collected from small groups of expat. (exp.P&G: 6individuals,Tlefonica Per :10 individuals; PWC Bolivia 20individuals), etc.

    An agreement with some other companies such as Antamina (35persons), Yanacocha-(50 persons) but the data is being soughtnow.

    Two Chamber of commerce (Spain and Canada) were approached .

    Also letters in the name of the Dean of ESAN for recruitingpotential companies had been mailed. Also ex MBA students from

    ESAN were contacted and were asked to help identify expat andcollaborate. 1 paper was published in a professional national journal based in

    Argentina and another paper had been published in a localPeruvian Journal

    Objective

    l Evaluate the implication and the impact of strategic

    human resources management in the internationalization

    process.

    l Identify influential factors for international strategic

    human resource management.

    l Create instruments in strategic human resource aspects

    to obtain better firm performance in international

    investments.

    Underlying conceptual model

    Based on the review of SHRM literature, two underlying

    conceptual models are adopted to answer the question

    that how to manage human resources strategically :

    European context strategic human resource model from

    Brewster & Hegewisch (1994).

    Asian context five HR issues from (Khatri & Budhwar, 2001):

    Organisational structure, organisational culture, HR

    competencies, HR strategy, and HR outsourcing.

    AbstractThis study tests a theoretically driven model of the relationship between job

    demands, Employees motivation and resources, and supervisory support onemployees quality of work lives and their general health. It draws ontheoretical perspectives developed by Karasek and colleagues (i.e. Karasek,1989; 1990) connecting work environment and stress with QWL and health.Large survey data was used for the years 1995, 2002, and 2003 respectivelydrawn from the public health care employees sector in Catalunia (Spain). The2002 cross-sectional study (N= 2926) support the assertion made by stress

    researchers to the extent that both job demands and lack ofsupervisory support predict low QWL and negative health outcomes andperceived motivation, resources and capabilities to a lesser extend. In orderto verify the stability of the results obtains, the model was also tested with dataobtained in 1995 (N= 2901) and a follow up study in 2003 (N=10003). Results of the discriminant analyses (median split method) employedon these two latter samples, support the stability and consistency of the

    prediction found for the 2002 sample in explaining negative health outcomes.The paper discuses some possible prevention strategies to reduce the LowQWL and negative health outcomes within the Public health Sector.

    Project Acronym: EU-WORKCLIMATE

    The fundamental aim of the "EU-Workclimate" project is to conduct a comparative analysis amongst 15member countries based on standardized data pertaining to employment conditions supplied by the "Greatplace to work Europe". The later has developed over the years a methodology (standardized instrumentsand sampling procedures) for data collection enabling them to choose the "best company to work" in eachcountry. The data bank includes information provided by employees and managers in hundreds ofcompanies in each EU member state. The idea is to use this secondary data in order to identify trends andbenchmark cases. Another aim of this project is to use the results of the study as a platform for exchangesof opinions and experiences between some principal social actors and heads of European companies inthe field of industrial relations with the purpose of exploring benchmark models in industrial relations andguidelines for developing future frameworks for optimizing working climate in Europe.Tangible expected results:1) Scientific report on the analysis of employment conditions in Europe. Thefindings of the study will come from the comparative statistical results compiled in the period 2003-2005under the study "GREAT PLACE TO WORK IN EUROPE". Up to now, the results have been made use ofnationally, but there has been no comparative analysis between countries. We consider that this Europeandimension will contribute significant added value to the data compiled to date. 2) Prototype of Professionalauto evaluation tool. This instrument will content European indicators to auto evaluate living conditions atwork that allow a comparison of the different models of industrial relations in Europe. Finally we hope toreinforce the links between the different social, business and public authority actors linked to the field ofindustrial relations.

    The objective of this research is to evaluate the impact of occupational risks associatedwith occupational stress on mental health disorders treated at primary health care centres inCatalonia. This research will be conducted within the framework of an international project onOccupational Health and Quality of Life at work, led by the project coordinating body. Itsspecific aims are: i) to investigate the configurations of risk factors associated with mental

    health disorders suffered by patient/s attending primary health care centres, ii) to identify thedifferent profiles of occupational risk due to stress and/or non risk, which will enable theplanning of actions to prevent this type of occupational risk, and iii) to compare the impact ofoccupational stress on the Catalan population in general with that of other Europeancountries. The study will use descriptive exploratory methodology borrowed from the field ofdata mining and applied to the field of occupational epidemiology, directed at analysing therelationship between mental health disorders and occupational risk factors; the study willenable to explore in greater depth the variables involved in this type of disorder. The non-

    experimental primary data will be analysed via the use of a classification and regressionTree method that will enable to carry out hierarchical segmentation and identify the differentprofiles of occupational risk. The results based on this epidemiological data base, will enablethe development of proposals for prevention of occupational risks arising from occupationalstress in Catalonia.(Project pending financial assistance)
