Abstract

In this handbook of labor economics chapter we examine the relationship between Human Resource Management (HRM) and productivity.HRM includes incentive pay (individual and group) as well as many non-pay aspects of the employment relationship such as matching (hiring and firing) and work organization (e.g.teams, autonomy).We place HRM more generally within the literature on management practices and productivity.We start with some facts on levels and trends of both HRM and productivity and the main economic theories of HRM.We look at some of the determinants of HRM -risk, competition, ownership and regulation.The largest section analyses the impact of HRM on productivity emphasizing issues of methodology, data and results (from micro-econometric studies).We conclude briefly with suggestions of avenues for future frontier work.

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.
