Understanding the cultural value orientations of a country is a key factor in determining the work behaviours and practices of employees in a particular business environment. Over the past few years many studies have acknowledged the impact that culture has had on the structuring and design of HRM practices of employees working within a particular national setting, however, not many studies have discussed the cultural orientations of employees originating from one country but working in a different national setting and the influence it has on their individual preference for the choice of HR policies and practices. This article uses the cultural value orientations framework proposed by Kluckhohn and Strodbeck to provide an overview of the cultural dimensions of employees originating from India but living and working in Australia and the impact it may potentially have on their individual preference for the choice of HR practices. This review develops a framework contextualising both cross-country similarities and differences in value systems of Indians living and working in Australia whilst highlighting the divergences towards western HR practices that have also been analysed explicating an agenda for future research.
