| Abstract: | Multinational corporations' (MNCs) international staffing policies have been evaluated in terms of cost and efficiency arguments. Research has not addressed, however, the ethical impact of these policies on diverse stakeholder groups. This paper presents a conceptual framework by which ethnocentric, polycentric and geocentric staffing policies are theoretically linked to underlying decision-making modes of instrumentality, bounded rationality and economic rationality, respectively. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of the conceptual framework for theory and practice and directions for future research. |
