The discussion is based on findings which utilised a questionnaire-based survey, secondary data and interviews with HR managers. The paper concludes that HRM and employee relations practices utilised are a hybrid of old-style Soviet and Western-based approaches (US and European), and also provided are some implications for theory and managerial practice.enAll Rights Reservedhuman resource managementHRMforeign direct investmentFDIKazakhstanpost-Soviet practicesinternational managementArticlehttps://doi.org/10.1504/EJIM.2007.015656
