A Balanced Approach to Understanding the Shaping of Human Resource Management in Organisations

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

There is a need for alternative theories to get a better understanding of human re- source management (HRM), in particular with regard to the shaping of the employ- ment relationship in organizations. This study examines how market, institutional and configurational factors affect HRM in a global financial services company using the strategic balance theory and Paauwe’s model. Interview data and document analysis show the impact of critical incidents (e.g. a merger) and trends (e.g. a transition in Dutch industrial relations) on HRM.
