HRM Performance
HRM and Performance
This discussion will now move on to address the popular approaches to HRM and performance. Delery and Doty (1996) defined three broach perspectives, of which Purcell (1999) builds upon.
Universalistic, where a bundle of strategic HR practices are identified to be implemented successfully by all organizations to improve performance.
Contingency approach, focus on aligning HR practices and with business strategy. Certain practices are selected, to achieve the ‘best fit’ with organizational strategy
Configurational approach, individual HR practices are arranged in ‘clusters’ which horizontally fit with each other and these clusters achieve a vertical fit with the organizational strategy. Wood (1999) argued that ‘strategic fit’ similar to vertical fit is the most critical element to yield performance gains.
The configurational model can be seen as ‘multiplicative’ whereby the effect of certain practices on the firm’s performance is enhanced by the presence of other, complimentary practices, i.e. achieving synthesis. In contrast Proctor (2006) defined a non-configurational model, where the HP practices are seen as ‘additive’ in that they are mutually exclusive when implemented alongside each other.
