This paper examines how company personnel policies affect the willingness of employees to work. Using a dataset with multi-level structure, i.e., company level and to their employees’ level, makes a more comprehensive analysis possible. This multi-level analysis identifies and reconciles the differing perceptions on company personnel policies between companies and workers. Finally, how this affects the willingness of employees to work is estimated. In order to analyze the impact of the company personnel policies that facilitate internal communication and the company personnel policies that increase the sense of fairness in evaluation, this paper divided the agreement and discrepancy of the company and their employees’ perceptions of the company personnel policies into four categories. Results show that some new personnel policies do not improve the willingness of employees to work if they are simply introduced without being fully acknowledged. The results also show that employees’ willingness to work increases the more they believe that the policies will be effectively implemented. It can be concluded that personnel cannot change workers behavior unless they make their workers understood the intention and importance of their policies.
