Theoretical Perspectives for Strategic Human Resource Management
Abstract
Critics have argued that the field of human resource management (HRM) lacks a coherent theoreticalframework. This article attempts to further the theoretical development of SHRM through discussing six theoretical models (behavioral perspective, cybernetic models, agencyltransaction cost theory, resource-based view of the firm, power/resource dependence models, and institutional theory) that are usefulfor understanding both strategic and non-strategic determinants of HR practices. Finally, the implications of a stronger theoretical approach to SHRM research and practice are discussed.

“Lepak and Snell (1999) developed the contingent configurational view in the context of SHRM and demonstrated that specific HR systems are unlikely to be appropriate in all situations but rather depend on the uniqueness of the human capital.”

“Specifically, various HR activities of a firm can be aligned to reinforce each other in affecting intended HR outcomes and can also be aligned with contextual factors outside of the HR function to support the strategic goals of the firm (Han et al., 2019; Wright & McMahan, 1992).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
