Abstract

The relationship between HRM autonomy, business-like HRM, and performance in
government agencies has been of interest in research for decades now. Using survey
data from 365 respondents working in Dutch government agencies, we studied to
what degree HRM autonomy is a necessary and sufficient condition for HRM integration, distinguished between vertical and organizational integration, and, consequently, HRM performance in agencies. The findings from structural equation
modelling and necessary condition analysis show that HRM autonomy is necessary
but not sufficient for HRM integration, while HRM integration is necessary and partly
sufficient for HRM performance.
