Overview

Organizational researchers have consistently shown relationships between a range of strategic human resource management practices and organizational effectiveness. In spite of this evidence, however, few firms attempt to introduce these practices by changing their organizational cultures. This volume reviews the latest thinking and research evidence, and the reasons why human resource management practices are not being applied in the workplace. It makes the case that human resources have become the only competitive advantage an organization has that cannot be easily copied.

Synopsis

The authors in this text review the most current thinking on HR initiatives associated with current organizational performance and investigate how the field will need to mobilize in new ways to meet current demands.
