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.
