About Managing Global Human Resources MCQs
International HRM adds new categories of staff and new pay issues. Questions ask you to classify employees by nationality, for example an American working in a Chinese subsidiary of a US company as an expatriate, or an American working in the Australian branch of a British bank as a third-country national. You will define TCN, recognise hardship allowances paid for difficult living conditions, and identify codetermination, which gives employees a legal right to take part in company policy. Staffing orientations such as ethnocentric, polycentric and geocentric also feature.

Frequently asked questions
What does TCN stand for in HRM?
TCN stands for third-country national. It refers to an employee who is a citizen of neither the country where the company is headquartered nor the country where they are working. For example, an Indian manager working in the Dubai office of a British firm is a TCN.
What is the difference between an expatriate and a host-country national?
An expatriate is a non-citizen employee sent to work in another country, usually from the parent company's home country. A host-country national is a citizen of the country where the subsidiary operates. Many firms use host-country nationals to reduce costs and improve local understanding.
