AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN MODELS OF HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT Which one is more suitable for the Turkish case?

Abstract

Corollary to the fact that Human Resources Management first flourished in the American management literature, initial HRM models bore the affects of the managerial milieu in the USA. With the spread of the HRM concept, however, to other developed countries, alternative models started to thrive some of which had the claim of universality. A group of models fashioned for Europe was the most promising alternative to the American models. This article outlines the American and European models of HRM, questions the pertinence of each for the Turkish case, and suggests some alterations if they are to be applied to the HRM practices in Turkey.
