Purpose: This paper aims at providing comparative analysis of the influence of cultural determinants on the managers’ perceptions of human resources management practices, as a factor conditioning application of evidence-based management. Design/methodology/approach: This article presents the study of 121 managers in Poland, on their perception of HRM practices and analyses the consistency of findings with the Hofstede cultural dimensions model. Structured questionnaire developed by Rynes et al. (2002) in the US and used by Tenhiälä et al. (2016) in Finland, Spain and South Korea including 34 items on management practices, employment practices, training and development, staffing and compensation and benefits have been used. Comparative analysis of managers’ perceptions in 5 countries have been performed, and analysed from the perspective of cultural determinants. Findings: Significant differences among analysed countries have been noted in relation to managers’ perceptions of HRM practices, interpreted using the Hofstede’s model of cultural determinants. Five dimensions have been identifies as the most likely determinant of observable differences. Cultural factors have been found to explain perceptions of HRM practices in Poland, as well as in countries with both similar cultural dimensions profiles or shared characteristics. Research limitations/implications: The empirical part – questionnnaire in Poland – was performed during Covid-19 pandemic, which might have affected the perceptions of managers on what works in relation to HRM practices, as well as the external conditions under which the research was performed changed significantly over the course of last two years. Practical implications: Findings from the managers’ survey have been analysed from the perspective of cultural determinants, therefore making a link between perceptions and measurable and well defined variables of cultural origin, as represented by Hofstede’s dimensions. This implies, that more attention should be paid to culturally-grounded differences in cases where more evidence-based practices are intended to be implemented in organisations. Originality/Value: Paper presents original research findings, by providing comparative evidence on the managers’ perceptions of HRM practices in cross-cultural context, with application of the Hofstede cultural dimensions model.

The article contains theory-cognitional and empirical parts, which aim is to diagnose the organisational reasons of burnout being detected by managers in organisations, which they work in. The group of 45 representatives of managers who are the students of Executive MBA in INE PAN in Warsaw took part in the research. The managers’ opinions about organisational risk factors of burnout which occur in their work environment were the subject matter. The tool used for research was questionnaire of polling. The following research problem was worded: What organisational factors which raise the risk of burnout are detected by representatives of managerial staff in their work environment? The analysis of respondents’ statements enable to emerge of the following categories of burnout risk factors: the pressure (of the time, responsibility, expectations), lack of possibilities to develop the occupational abilities and seat promotion, the reasons entrenched in wrong interpersonal relations, lack of appeasement of basic employees’ need, blunders in motivational system and work organisation, lack of real possibility of making decisions. Vicariously, the research results indicate senior staff individualistic inertia. The respondents are conscious of burnout risk factors, but they do not take enough effective action building friendly organisational environment and promoting healthy lifestyle. They estimate that the impact of these things on mental hygiene improvement in enterprises is little. They are prone to detect potential resources of burnout in factors, which they do not have direct influence on, for instance in the rules enforced by the high level managers, in law of tough market competition etc. There are no statistically significant differences between the responses of men and women. The article develops knowledge in the area of organisational behavior.
