Strategic HRM and Performance

A Conceptual Framework

About this book

This advanced level core textbook examines the role that HRM and HR managers play in developing processes and practices for high-performance organisations. It is built around a unique conceptual framework that provides a clear and coherent structure for the book. Underpinned by recent research in the field and the author's academic expertise, the book provides an historical overview of the development of strategic HRM as a field of study before bringing the discussion up to date by examining contemporary topics such as sustainable HRM, e-HRM and high-performance work systems. The book extends the focus beyond the firm to include discussions about the role of multiple stakeholders, such as trade unions and governments, to encourage a deeper understanding of the role of national, institutional and cultural issues, as well as other external influences. This is an essential text for postgraduate and MBA students studying modules on Strategic HRM, Advanced HRM, or HRM and Performance Management. It is also an ideal companion for final-year undergraduate modules on specialist HRM degree programmes.

PART 
I
THE 
INSTRUMENTAL 
DIMENSION
The 
instrumental 
dimension 
reflects 
the 
basics 
of 
every 
HRM, 
aiming 
to 
pro-
vide 
the 
necessary 
functions 
and 
instruments 
to 
find 
and 
keep 
employees 
in 
an 
organization. 
Every 
organization 
has 
to 
fulfil 
the 
exigencies 
of 
formulating 
procedures, 
rules, 
routines, 
making 
contracts, 
and 
giving 
people 
the 
rights 
and 
obligations 
they 
need 
to 
work 
together. 
In 
this 
dimension, 
attention 
is 
given 
to 
historical 
roots 
and 
to 
an 
overview 
of 
necessary 
transactional 
and 
transformational 
services 
to 
keep 
people 
and 
the 
organization 
working. 
We 
also 
focus 
on 
the 
basic 
principles 
that 
guide 
the 
services 
necessary 
to 
employees, 
such 
as 
principles 
of 
justice, 
simplicity, 
efficiency 
and 
effectiveness. 
Lastly, 
we 
pay 
attention 
to 
the 
actual 
challenges 
of 
this 
dimension, 
especially 
the 
development 
of 
sophisticated 
e-solutions, 
ICT, 
shared 
services 
and 
outsourcing 
for 
the 
delivery 
of 
HRM 
services.
