| Abstract: | The results of a survey on personnel practices and the way different members of an organization perceive the personnel function are reported. The focus is on the manufacturing sector, comparing personnel practices in high- and medium-technology companies. The relative importance which personnel superiors, line managers and personnel managers attached to the various personnel activities is also explored. The survey was conducted in Singapore in 1988 and included 58 medium- and 22 high-technology firms. This sample of 80 firms included 60 multinational companies of non-Singaporean origin. The findings presented have supported the general assumption that the personnel function is given greater recognition in high-tech companies. |
