Methadology Major Findings

This paper try to reviem the already Different kind of manager had been taken proposed methods to measured the randomly to take in depth interviews to human capial in the organizational. explore the topic. It also discuss the way the organiz used them. The methods discuss in this research paper is Historical methods, Replacement cost method, Opportunity cost methods, economic value methods and intellectual capital methods.

Limitations
The major limitation in the concept is that still no method is proposed which can get the consensus of different researchers and as well as the accounting board. The problem is to measure the human element in term of money value.

The main concept of this paper is to check the impact of Human asset information The Effect of Human on Asset the investment decisions of the current statements on the and potential investors. It is assumed that investment decision: An if this information is dissaminated by the Experiment firms the investors can make better decision about their investments. The HR Nabil Elias information is independent variable and the investment decisions are dependent 2008 variable.

A random sample is selected from the finance field to check the impact of HR information. The group is separated into two sub groups and different financial statements are provided to them and then additionaly HR information is provided and then check the difference between the decisions in two phases.

The participants are divided into two groups and they are provided financial statements of two firms and asked them to allocate their investments in these two firms.

Strangers in a strage land: Cultural shocks faced by Expatriates in West Asia R. W. Robertson 2007

The success and failure of the persons working outside their country can be determined by different factors but one more thing that is discussed in this paper is the impact of culture on the adjustments of these expatriates for their foreign assignments. The cultural shocks are taken as an independent variable and adjustment is dependent variable.

By interviewing different peoples working in university as a faculty A sample of 12 faculty members are member they reveal that these selected and then take un structured expatriates faced different kind of interviews from them to check their cultural shocks during their stay feeling about the adjustments in daily life. in the country. The main cultural shocks described by these expatriates are Language problem, Safety problem, Personal space and Lack of organization in the work.

The number of participants are very low that should be increased to see more insights in this dilemma. The sample are taken from only one discipline of life that should be increased for some more areas.

Jan Selmer 2000

Business expatriates assigned to Hong Kong and the China, mostly from Western Europe and North America responded to a survey assessing the extent of sociocultural and psychological adjustments. Due to difference in the living conditions in Hong kong and China it is assumed that the expatriates in these two areas having different level of adjustments. we take two variables, one is level of adjustment that is further breakdown into two elements i.e. Sociocultural and Psychological adjustments and the different location is independent variable.

The western business expatriates were better socioculturally adjusted in Hong kong than on the China mainland. Western expatriates in Samples are taken randomly from the Hong kong had higher scores on both two areas and the requried data is general adjustment and work collected by mail questionnaire and then adjustment. analyze the data to check the difference Second, there was no difference in in the level of adjustments in two areas. psychological adjustments between The data is analyzed on the basis of two the two locations. variables that is socio cultural adjustment Third, exploring the adjustments of and psychological adjustment. different nationalities to the two locations it was found that French business expatriates were less well socioculturally adjusted regarding the two elements.

Single method variance could have affected the findings of the investigations since the data was only collected through a self report questionnaire.

The main idea of this paper is to explore two different issues in the case of workplace enviroment. The first one is to see the difference in the perception of the employees about the workplace seeting and the existing situation. The second one is to see whether there is a relationship between the workplace enviroment and job satisfaction.

The researcher used a parallel questionnaire to measure the expected importance of the respondent about an element and the existing situation in the office. Secondly the score were measured to check the relationship between the job satisfaction and workplace enviroment. A sample of 400 employees from different manufacturing companies are selected and asket to fill the questionnaire.

Although the items in this studys questionnaire covered For the first hypothesis we find some various aspects of the important variables that should be workplace, those items might improved to make the workplace more not be comprehensive and comfortable for the employees , these exclusive enough in order to variables are storage capacity, lighting concisely include workplace and temperature control and space. characteristics. Future studies For the second hypothesis we find a need to develop a more strong relationship between the sophisticated measure to workplace enviroment and job achieve a more reliable and satisfaction by the employees. better constructed measure validity that captures . workplace quality.

Future Recommendations
For more exploration there is need to see some more dimensions in this area. The effect of this information on decision makers. Impact of industry and firm. And finally to develop a universal model which can be accepted by both researchers and accounting board.

The research can be expanded for more peoples and the information produced about human element can be presented in a better way. The main thing is to develop a better model to measure the human resource capital.

This study can be conducted in other countries and by taking some more samples from different areas of the life. The study can be expanded by defining the cultural shocks in some more precise definations and by selecting some more variables that can describe more dynamic informations.

It would be useful to corroborate the findings through sources other than self reports. The determinants of sociocultural adjustments for business expatriate need to examined in coharrent and systematic way. Certain nationalities groups of business expatriates could have a more difficult time adjusting to another culture than others.

In the future some more studies can be conducted to see the perception of the employees of that culture about the important variables they perceived. Research can be undertaken to see the difference in the perception of the employees of the service sector and manufacturing sector.
