for an organisation or business sector. Word Guide approximately 500
The project examines the case study organization of the CK Infrastructure
Holdings Ltd. The organization is facing external pressure due to the competition
in the global infrastructure business. The company headquarter in Hong Kong;
the suitable and experienced candidate is not good enough from the local Hong
Kong market. Moreover, there is tightness in the overseas tax regulations and
along with that, the business is located in UK, Canada, Australia and New
Zealand...etc, in UK the Brexit impacts are there already. It has been found that
the employees of the organization are suffering from loss of motivation. Since
there is the customer demands are changing always and there is work pressure
too, the work life balance of the employees is being hindered up to greater
extent. On the other hand, there is the responsibility to understand and follow the
relationship between Corporate Governance and Human Resources
Management. The corporate governance is something that understands and
operates according to relevant legislation including industrial laws, leads to the
improvement of the productivity of organizations from a critical viewpoint for
preventing them from falling into the crisis due to the weak management which
can further worsen the administrative and financial corruption. Lead and
influence a collaborative, innovative and values based culture. More aptly, the
corporate governance appeared as the management method which is founded
on a set of principles along with the procedures which govern the administration
along with the parties of deals. It has been also found that corporate governance
as a subject has been limited to the financial side at the expense of the human
resource side. The basics of the theory and corporate governance models are
based on the human resources which is the most important target of the
corporate governance. The human resources are expected to provide value,
commitment and ethics which can be possible only through the factors such as
motivation, training, participation and job satisfaction. The project will form
objectives on investigating the relationships between corporate governance and
Human Resources Management in the CK Infrastructure Holding Ltd. Hence, in
this manner, the fulfilment of the objectives become of higher practical value.
Further, these management concerns contribute to the intellectual knowledge
and the academic ideas which are employed particularly in this dissertation
project. Therefore, this dissertation project carries some academic values. The

conceptual framework below provides a pictorial view on the relationship
between the corporate governance and the human resource.

Corporate governance- The corporate governance is the compilation of the
processes, rules and laws, through which the businesses are operated,
controlled and regulated, understand and operate within the internal and external
political environment. The term corporate governance encompasses the external
and the internal factors which affect the interests of the stakeholders of the
company such as the shareholders, suppliers, customers, the government
regulators and the management, actively scan the external environment and
monitor the context in which the organisation operates. The board of directors of
a company are responsible for the creation of a framework of corporate
governance which aligns best the objectives and the business conducts. There
are specific processes which can be outlines in the corporate governance
consisting of the action plans, the performance measurement, the executive
compensation decisions and procedures for reconciling the conflicts of interest
and implicit contrasts between the stakeholders of the company. The corporate

governance has some of the specific principles such as all the shareholders must
be treated fairly and equally. The shareholders have to be aware of the rights
and ways of exercising them. All the contractual, legal and social obligations to
the non-shareholder stakeholders should be upheld.It consists of communicating
the pertinent information to the investors, the employees, the community
members and the vendors. On the other hand, the board of directors should
maintain their commitment in ensuring the fairness, accountability, transparency
within the corporate governance. The corporate governance policies and the
procedures must be transparent to the relevant stakeholders.
Human resources- Shape and mange a people strategy aligned with whole of
government objectives. Identify and communicate potential issues and setbacks
that will affect workforce design, culture and performance. Monitor and analyse
internal and external influences and their impact. The human resource is the
staffs and the people who operate an organization and can be placed as a
contrast to the material and financial resources of an organization. The human
resources function to actively identify economic and demographic trends and
factors that may influence HR plans and goals. A single employee can also be
considered as the human resource of a company. It is the function of an
organization which deals with people along with issues which are related to them
such as the recruitment and hiring, compensation and benefits, on boarding
employees, the performance management, and lastly the organizational culture
and development.
Tax regulations in Hong Kong- There are various reasons behind the foreign
investors and the entrepreneurs choosing Hong Kong to be the preferred
jurisdiction for establishing the business as well as expand it. Some of the top
factors are easy setting and operating a business in Hong Kong, the proximity to
mainland Chinese market and extremely attractive tax regimes. There is no
capital gains in tax, no value added tax and no withdrawing tax.
Employee motivation- It is the level of energy, creativity and commitment that is
brought about by the workers of a company to their respective jobs (Ahmed et al,
2010). The employee motivation always stays as a management concern
irrespective of whether the company is growing or shrinking. The competing
theories always keep stressing on the incentives or the employee involvement.
The entrepreneurs should always stay mindful about the effects of low employee
motivation as it can lead to disinterest, complacency and widespread
discouragement.
Employee satisfaction- Employee satisfaction can be used by the HR industry
for describing the way employees are content with the job, their payments, the
experience they gain and the organization they work for. Focus on delivering the
quality outcomes. It is a key metric which can determine the health of the
organization. It is linked to the emotions and mood in the workplace. The moods
can be temporary but the emotions are permanent and way more powerful. The
