다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The objectives of this paper are to compare a set of industrial relations values(IRV) and practices (IRP) in Western countries with values and practices inThailand, an ASEAN community (AC) member country and in Korea, an ASEAN+3member country. In many countries industrial relations (IR) is a major componentof the human resource management (HRM) system. It has become a driving forcefor economic and social development in many countries. An Industrial relationssystem (IRS) operates under the overall national cultural system thus IRV becomesan important background of any IRS. The integration of the 10 countries under theAssociation of South East Asia Nations (ASEAN) to become a single ASEANCommunity (AC) will take effect in 2015. The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC)is one of the major pillars of the AC. It is a major force to drive economiccooperation in the AC which will lead to a single market and jointly-basedproduction. There will ultimately be a free movement of products, services,investment, financial aspects and of skilled labour. The free flow of labour will leadto more diversity of the workforces in AEC member countries in terms of nationalityand cultural values in addition to other types of diversity already in existence. In addition, ASEAN+3 countries (China, Japan and Korea) play a pivotal role ininvestment and employment in AEC. AEC member countries and many ASEAN+3member countries have adopted Western IRS and IRV into their IRS and IRp.Valuesare an important factor impacting the implementation of IRp.Each different nation hasits own cultures and values which are different from each other. This review paperfocuses on a comparative study of Western IRV with Thai IRV and Korean IRV.
