The impact of human resource management practices on operational performance: recognizing country and industry differences
Abstract
The interest in strategic human resource management (HRM) has spawned a number of empirical research studies that
investigated the impact of HRM practices on organizational performance. However, very little attention has been paid to address
the impact of HRM practices on operations management and to generalize the findings across countries and industries. Success
of some business decisions (e.g. globalization and merger and acquisition) necessitates recognition and reconciliation of the
differences among HRM practices in different countries and industries. This study attempts to generalize the efficacy of seven
HRM practices proposed by Pfeffer in the context of country and industry, focusing primarily on the effects of these practices
on operations. The findings provide overall support for Pfeffer's seven HRM practices and empirically validate an ideal-type
HRM system for manufacturing plants.
