Based on a survey of 244 township and village enterprises in two different regions in China, this paper compares the human resource management practices in these organizations. The study tries to identify what practices are used most frequently in hiring, training, performance appraisal and compensation decisions. It explores the effectiveness of these HR practices and identifies the specific practices that are most related to organizational effectiveness, and employee job satisfaction. Results are discussed in terms of implications for future study and management of enterprises in China.
