Abstract
The convergence theory proposed that due to globalization certain practices
will be adopted and implemented by firms worldwide regardless of their
location. The study investigates the proposition that strategic HRM practices
adopted by the manufacturing firms in Malaysia will bear similarities to those
implemented by the multinational corporations (MNCs). The results indicated
support for the convergence theory, revealing similarities in the strategic HRM
practices adopted despite the different country of origins of the firms.
