politique de gestion des ressources humaines

"Mise en place d’une politique de gestion des ressources humaines à Dalian Tech Zone"

Il semble que "soft environnement" préoccupe beaucoup les entreprises chinoises désireuses de développer leurs contacts avec l'étranger autant que leur efficacité interne.

Définitions de "soft" et "hard" environment selon un site chinois:

"First class environment consists of hard environment and soft environment. Soft environment means interpersonal relationships. It covers the working relationships between the boss, the peer and the subordinates. It includes mutual respect, trusting each other, supporting each other, the depth and the width in communicating and the way to reconcile conflicts and to work together. Simply put, it demonstrates each employee's self-esteem, respect and dignity in an enterprise. It also measures the degree of each employee's freedom to demonstrate his/her competency. Hard environment includes things like the building, office design, furniture and fixtures, the air and the space each employee occupies. The soft environment is more important than the hard environment. Hard environment can be improved in accordance with the enterprise's financial strength. The majority of employees understand that an enterprise's hard environment is connected to its financial situation. Soft environment is a people issue and cannot be resolved via financial means. The real reason that many good employees leave their position is because of dissatisfaction with the soft environment."

environnement propice à l'investissement ?

This is indeed a puzzling term. Almost all Google hits appear to be translations from Chinese. It looks as though it means an environment that will encourage investors (see URL). I would suggest you ask the same question but address it to the Chinese<>English language pair, you might find out what it should be in real English? Just a thought.

culture organisationnelle

En anglais nous exprimons la même pensée avec les mots "corporate culture"="culture organisationnelle".

Le calque "soft environment" de la langue source est sans signification en anglais.
