TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between HRM practices and the retirement decision of older workers with a low occupational status in the creative industry in the Netherlands using social identity theory.
Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the perception of HRM practices and the retirement decision of older workers with a low occupational status in the creative industry in the Netherlands using social identity theory. Design/methodology/approach – In total, 30 semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted by telephone. The sample consisted of workers with a low occupational status, aged 50 or above, in the creative industry in the Netherlands, all member of the trade union of this industry. Findings – The relationship between HRM practices and retirement decisions is complex and contradictory. In line with social identity theory, it was found that HRM practices designed for older workers were perceived as a stamp that they belonged to a devalued social group. However, they do want organizations to accommodate their needs, but in a way that they do not feel to require special attention. Originality/value – The findings show that older workers want organizations to adapt the workplace to ...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the clash between diversity policies as designed in the West and the challenges in implementing these in the Middle East and North Africa region and identified three strategies to deal with the perceived clash: forcing a Western approach upon the local country, a reframing strategy where existing policies are reformulated to fit the Western requirements and a sensitive approach in which the local context is considered.
Abstract: This study examines the clash between diversity policies as designed in the West and the challenges in implementing these in the Middle East and North Africa region. We contribute to the role of context in diversity management by studying how HR managers deal with diversity policies when the Western approach and the local context are perceived as being incompatible. Twenty HR/diversity managers working for multinational companies in nine different countries in the Middle East and North Africa region were interviewed. The findings show that a manager's understanding of the interrelated nature of multilevel factors of the local context influences the strategies adopted. Three strategies to deal with the perceived clash are identified: forcing a Western approach upon the local country, a reframing strategy where existing policies are reformulated to fit the Western requirements, and a sensitive approach in which the local context is considered. The study suggests that multinationa.l companies have to adapt diversity policies to local multilevel factors of the country in which they operate.

TL;DR: In this article, the major conclusions reached in the area of unpaced asynchronous unbalanced lines over time and from diverse sources are mapped to some possible future avenues of research that can usefully advance knowledge in this domain.
Abstract: Unbalanced unpaced serial production lines have been the subject of continued interest over the last half a century. Research into these systems taking a diversity of approaches has given rise to a variety of insights which may be of increasing relevance in a context of fast-changing production and flexibility needs. By mapping the major conclusions reached in the area of unpaced asynchronous unbalanced lines over time and from diverse sources, this review identifies some possible future avenues of research that can usefully advance knowledge in this domain.

TL;DR: Results show that instead of the expected zero sum situation, a balance between the two objectives can be achieved by assigning different priority rules to different queues, and performance improvements are shown from assigning the first queue a priority rule that reduces the variance of flow time while assigning the other queues a priority rules that reduces queue length.
