“…The Mutual Security Agreement coupled with a gradual increase of MNEs from the United States facilitated know‐how support and knowledge transfer to Turkey. According to Sayim (), Turkey has been a knowledge receiver country with a strong tradition of transferring knowledge and management practices from abroad. For instance, Usdiken and Wasti () describe Turkey as a “receptive” country, particularly with respect to HRM practices and management paradigms originating from the United States.…”

“…Multinational enterprises (MNEs) have become central in global trade and development over the last three decades owing to their contribution to global production, income, employment, economic growth and development in both developed and less developed economies (Blomstron and Kokko ; Ranjan and Agrawal ). Researchers have argued that underpinning globalization stems from the activities of MNEs (Ranjan and Agrawal ; Sayım ). Pulignano and Keune (, 8) suggest that ‘employment policy within MNEs and their subsidiaries reflects a complex interaction between national institutions that enforce certain standards; the parent which attempts to impose home‐country rooted policies or practices; and negotiation between management and employee groups’.…”

This paper highlights the evolution and contribution of the institutional theory perspective to the study of human resource management (HRM) transfers between advanced economies and less developed economies owing to institutional dissimilarities. The paper seeks to explore the institutional differences between advanced economies (home) and less developed economies (host) through the lens of institutional theory and how such institutional differences constrain or provide opportunities for the transfer of HRM practices. We develop a conceptual framework through the lens of institutional theory to provide useful and comprehensive insight of factors or conditions to consider when transferring HRM practices from advanced economies to less developed economies where there are institutional dissimilarities. The framework offers a broad perspective of the three dimensions of institutional theory to help multinational enterprises evaluate and explore how the differences in institutional settings between home and host countries may create opportunities or constraints in HRM practice transfers.Keywords: human resource management practices, institutional dissimilarities, institutional theory, international human resource management, multinational enterprises Key points 1 Our conceptual framework identifies those factors or conditions to consider when multinational enterprises transfer human resource management (HRM) practices from advanced economies to their subsidiaries in less developed economies. 2 The framework is based on institutional theory to evaluate and explore how the differences in institutional configurations between home and host countries may create opportunities or constraints in HRM practice transfers. 3 Institutional theory is significant for international HRM research in that it provides a strong foundation in hypothesizing at both home and host country levels with regards to institutional dissimilarities between developed and less developed countries.

RESUMOObjetivo: analisar os discursos de profissionais da saúde acerca dos aspectos motivacionais relacionados à transferência de política do tratamento diretamente observado da tuberculose no município de João Pessoa, Paraíba. Método: estudo descritivo, qualitativo, desenvolvido nas Secretarias Municipal e Estadual de Saúde e em cinco distritos sanitários de saúde de João Pessoa. A amostra foi composta de 26 profissionais de saúde que participaram de uma entrevista semidirigida no período de junho a dezembro de 2013. Os dados empíricos foram analisados por meio do dispositivo teórico analítico da análise de discurso (AD) de filiação francesa pecheutiana. Resultados: observaram-se como aspectos motivacionais para a transferência de política: benefícios da descentralização das ações da estratégia TDO para o serviço de atenção primária; diminuição dos índices epidemiológicos relacionados ao abandono no tratamento; aumento no percentual de cura e encerramento dos casos; o fortalecimento do vínculo terapêutico entre profissionais e usuários a partir da responsabilidade compartilhada pelo tratamento e cuidados em geral de saúde; e melhorias na acessibilidade dos usuários aos serviços de saúde. Conclusão: embora sejam visíveis esforços e vontade política dos atores-chave envolvidos na transferência da política, verificou-se que o município necessita ainda implementar estratégias a fim de superar os amplos desafios impostos pela doença e, assim, alcançar a detecção, tratamento e cura dos casos de tuberculose. Palavras-chave: Atenção Primária à Saúde; Pessoal de Saúde; Tuberculose. ABSTR ACTObjective: To analyze the speeches of health professionals about the motivational aspects related to the policy transfer of the direct observation of therapy for tuberculosis in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. Method: Descriptive and qualitative study developed in the Municipal and State Health Departments and in five Sanitary Districts of João Pessoa. The sample consisted of 26 health professionals who participated in a semi-directed interview from June to December 2013. The empirical material produced was analyzed according to the theoretical-analytical basis of the French discourse analysis by Pêcheux. Results: The motivational aspects for the policy transfer were benefits from the decentralization of actions of the direct observation of therapy strategy to the primary care service; reduction of epidemiological indices associated with treatment abandonment; increase in cure percentage and closure of cases; strengthening of therapeutic bond between professionals and users based on shared responsibility for general health care and treatment; and improvements in users' accessibility to health services. Conclusion: Although efforts and political will of the key actors involved in policy transfer are visible, our data tend to support that that the municipal government still needs to implement strategies to overcome the broad challenges posed by the disease and thus achieve diagnosis, treatment and cure of tuberculosis cases
