Connectivity of Actors and Diffusion of Ideas in HR Systems Configuration Process in Multinational Subsidiaries in Indonesia
Human Resource (HR) literature tends to overlook the process of HR systems configuration. Researching the process, this article particularly examines the phenomenon of connectivity and the diffusion of ideas among HR actors and other actors outside companies. Three case studies of multinational subsidiaries in Indonesia were conducted. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and corporate documents and were analyzed using a modified-grounded approach. The findings show similarities among elements of HR systems across the cases, showing connectivity of ideas and actors in the configuration process. The ideas constituting the HR systems within each company were adopted through a variety of channels of diffusion. This article proposes a typology of connectivity of actors that enables the diffusion and adoption of ideas across companies

Actors, institutional change and stability in the Indonesian industrial relations system
This paper aims to analyse institutional changes in the Indonesian industrial relations system. Although mainly focuses on the labour reforms in the Post-Soeharto era, this paper extends the time line to incorporate changes in the Old and New Order periods in analysing change and stability. In addition to the portrait of the institutional changes, this paper also analyses the roles of different actors in the periods of change. While acknowledging some significant changes in the institutional logics, the paper also discovers the evidence of institutional stability across times and periods of Indonesian government. It concludes the current changes in the Indonesian IR context has resulted in some unexpected results. This case demonstrates that there is a mismatch of different institutional elements within the Indonesian IR system that impedes successful changes.15 page(s
Institutional change, continuity and decoupling in the Indonesian industrial relations system
This article analyzes long run change and continuity within the Indonesian industrial relations (IR) system. Although focused more on labour reform in the post-Soeharto era, the analysis also extends the time line backwards to review key aspects of the Old and New Order periods so as to provide perspective for more recent developments. The article employs institutional theory in the analysis and highlights the roles of different actors during different periods of change. Data was collected through narrative interviews with relevant IR actors and taken from a range of secondary sources. While acknowledging profound changes in the logics and structures of Indonesian IR, the analysis also reveals evidence of institutional continuity across time. The article concludes that recent reforms have produced several negative outcomes for both workers and the labour movement, and have focused more on overt structural elements but less on cultural-cognitive and normative elements that determine behaviour within the new structures.18 page(s

Actors amidst pressures : the configuration of HR systems within a multinational context
This paper focuses on the process of configuring human resource (HR) systems within multinational companies. It is argued that the process involves two major sources of complexity which stem from the HR systems and the multinational context. Three different theoretical stances, the rational choice, institutional, and actor perspectives are used to develop a theoretical standpoint of the process of configuration. It is suggested that a blended approach is necessary to allow a full conceptualization of the dynamic interactions of actors and their context which include different pressures and logics.14 page(s
