Abstract:The present research has been guided by a number of issues and concerns with SHRM research. For example, a growing evidence of cultural and HR transitions globally and the need to further if convergence occurs in regional clusters, overcoming existing methodological deficiencies in SHRM research, and calls to incorporate the concept of human resource satisfaction (HRS) in an analysis of SHRM practices (Khilji and Wang, 2006, 2007). A multiple respondent strategy is, therefore, used to draw data from several organisations in Pakistan and China. Results show that while there is convergence with respect to adopt and implement progressive HR practices in both these countries, the transition in both societies is happening at a pace i.e. uniquely determined by the local context and institutions. This supports the crossvergence perspective in SHRM i.e. slowly gaining popularity. Implications and limitations are discussed. Copyright ? 2010 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
