Abstract:

Denna studie grundar sig i ett uppdrag från Trafikverket med avsikten att undersöka hur enmångfaldsstrategi kan få ökad effekt i organisationen. Utgångspunkten för denna studie är attdet tycks krävas mer forskning kring hur HR strategiskt kan arbeta med mångfaldsfrågor ochintegrera dem i organisationens alla delar. Syftet med denna studie är således att identifiera hurHR strategiskt kan arbeta med mångfaldsfrågor. Vidare är syftet att visa hur ett strategiskamångfaldsarbete kan bli mer effektivt.Teorier som belyser begreppet mångfald, effekterna av mångfald, strategi, Human ResourceManagement och Strategic Human Resource management kan ses ligga till grund för ettframgångsrikt HRM-arbete med mångfald. Ledarskap, kommunikation, kunskap och att se tillorganisationskulturen belyser teorin som viktiga komponenter för att ett strategiskt arbete skabli mer effektivt och ge effekt i organisationen.Studien bygger på en deduktiv ansats och en kvalitativ metod har genomförts utifrån treindividuella intervjuer och två fokusgrupper. De individuella intervjuernas syfte var att belysaorganisationens nutida arbete med mångfald, framtida perspektiv för hur ett strategisktmångfaldsarbete kan utformas och en målbild för vad arbetet ska resultera i. Den enafokusgruppen bestod av medarbetare från HR från olika regionkontor i landet och hade somsyfte att klargöra hur HR strategiskt kan arbeta med mångfald. Den andra fokusgruppen bestodav chefer från olika regionkontor i landet och hade som syfte att belysa chefers roll och vad deeftersöker i ett strategiskt mångfaldsarbete.Resultatet från intervjuerna har analyserats utifrån den teoretiska referensramen och i dennastudie har vi kommit fram till och identifierat flera betydelsefulla faktorer som för HR är viktigai utformandet av en mångfaldsstrategi. Det är viktigt att definiera begreppet mångfald, klargöraansvarsfrågan, visa på varför organisationen bör arbeta med månglad och kommuniceraeffekterna. Vidare är det viktigt att koppla mångfaldsstrategin till övriga HRM-aktiviteter ochorganisationens övriga strategier och mål för att det strategiska arbetet ska ge effekt. Kunskapom mångfald och att se arbetet som ett förändringsarbete där ledningen utgör en viktig roll harvisat sig vara väsentliga faktorer för att arbetet ska få värde i organisationen.
This study is based on an assignment from the Swedish Transport Administration with the intention to examine how a diversity strategy can be more efficient in the organization. The starting point for this study is that it seems to require more research on how HR can strategically work with diversity issues and integrate them with the rest of the organization. The purpose of this study is to identify how Human Resources strategically can work with diversity. An additional purpose is to show how a strategic diversity work can be more effective.Theories that highlight the concept of diversity, the effects of diversity, strategy, Human Resource Management and Strategic Human Resource Management can be seen as a basis for a successful strategic HRM with diversity. Leadership, communication, knowledge and organizational culture highlight the theory as important components to strategic efforts to become more efficient and provide the power in the organization.The study is based on a deductive approach and a qualitative method has been used on the basis of three individual interviews and two focus groups. With the individual interview, the purpose was to highlight the organization's contemporary work with diversity, future perspectives on how strategic diversity efforts can be designed and a vision for results. One focus group consisted of employees from HR from various regional offices in the country and were intended to clarify how HR can work strategically with diversity. The other focus groups consisted of executives from various regional offices in the country and were intended to highlight the role of managers and what they are seeking in a strategic diversity effortThe result of the interviews were analyzed based on the theoretical framework. In this study we have come up with and identified several significant factors for HR that are important in the design of a diversity strategy. It is important to define the concept of diversity, to clarify the issue of responsibility, to show why the organization should work with diversity, and communicate the impact. Furthermore, it is important to link diversity strategy to other HRM-activities and the organization's other strategies and objectives for the strategic work to effect. Knowledge of diversity and to see the work as a process of change, where management is an important role, have proved to be essential factors for the work to get the value of the organization.

Abstract:

Human resource outsourcing (HRO) is a strategic choice that managers implement because of a variety of anticipated benefits. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to identify HRO strategies managers used to reduce operating costs while maintaining human resource (HR) effectiveness. Data were collected from semistructured interviews using open-ended questions and a review of company documents. Study participants represented 3 midwestern firms with 50 or more employees. The participants drawn from the population consisted of a minimum of 2 participants per organization who had increased their organization's strategic value using HRO strategies. The transaction cost economics (TCE) theory was the conceptual framework for this study. Data were analyzed using methodological triangulation to identify codes from words, phrases, and sentences using multiple sources to identify recurring themes. Five key themes emerged: outsourcing strategies, outsourced functions, operational costs, organizational effectiveness, and success measurement. The findings of this study may lead to social change by supporting managers in making HRO decisions conducive to reducing operating costs while maintaining HR effectiveness, which might positively impact social change by providing core function jobs to the local community thereby decreasing unemployment rates.

Abstract:

Con el fin de alcanzar los objetivos de una organización como el aumento de productividad y la rentabilidad, es un hecho bien conocido que las necesidades de los empleados deben ser satisfechas vía prácticas de recursos humanos (RRHH). La literatura muestra que una estrategia eficaz de gestión de RRHH, que se centre en generar y mantener una mano de obra motivada, es un factor clave para su éxito. Por lo tanto, el objetivo principal de esta tesis doctoral es entender mejor el impacto de la gestión estratégica de RRHH y prácticas de alto rendimiento (PAR) sobre varias cuestiones críticas de negocio tales como la obtención de ventajas competitivas, la lucha contra el absentismo laboral, y la mejora de satisfacción laboral. Primeramente, el hecho de desarrollar y mantener una ventaja competitiva es uno de los factores más importantes para garantizar la supervivencia de una empresa frente a sus rivales. Algunos directivos prevén la posibilidad de obtener una ventaja competitiva a través del capital humano, que depende del talento del director de utilizar prácticas de RRHH. Por lo tanto, el primer capítulo empírico de esta tesis considera el marco teórico y el papel de la gestión estratégica de recursos humanos (DERH), que propone un ajuste muy apretado entre la calidad de la gestión de RRHH y las estrategias empresariales. Analizando los datos de 401 empresas manufactureras españolas, nuestros resultados proporcionan una evidencia que la DERH es un aspecto distintivo de la empresa para asegurar la obtención de una ventaja competitiva sostenible. En concreto, las empresas de gran tamaño con mayor calidad de DERH tienden a tener un mejor desempeño de la organización. Además, es un gran desafío reducir la tasa de absentismo laboral, ya que sus efectos son directamente proporcionales a la disminución de la productividad y la rentabilidad. Todavía hay una falta de investigación europea con conclusiones concretas sobre el impacto de la interacción entre los valores sindicales y las PAR en absentismo. Por lo tanto, el segundo capítulo empírico identifica los determinantes de absentismo centrándose en la interacción entre los sindicatos y los componentes de las PAR, bajo un modelo logístico fraccional en los datos de las empresas manufactureras españolas. Los resultados sugieren que los incentivos basados en el rendimiento y el uso de rotación del trabajo disminuyen la probabilidad de una mayor ausencia en altos niveles de influencia de los sindicatos. Además, formación y horarios flexibles constituyen adaptabilidades para hacer frente al absentismo a niveles bajos y medios de influencia de los sindicatos. La competencia en el mercado laboral también es importante en el absentismo. La probabilidad de mayor ausencia se relaciona positivamente con el tamaño de la empresa, el porcentaje de mujeres trabajadoras, y el porcentaje de trabajadores a tiempo parcial. Por último, muchos estudios sugieren que las organizaciones con bajo nivel de satisfacción en el trabajo tienden a tratar con el absentismo, la tardanza y las huelgas, lo que provoca una gran disminución en el rendimiento y la rentabilidad. La baja satisfacción laboral ha sido un tema emergente en el entorno de negocios. La literatura sugiere que la gestión participativa, que puede ser influenciada por el talento y las habilidades de un director, mejora la satisfacción laboral. Por lo tanto, el tercer capítulo empírico investiga el impacto indirecto de la gestión participativa en la satisfacción laboral. Esto proporciona evidencia de que la gestión participativa tiene un efecto positivo significativo en la satisfacción laboral de los trabajadores a través de sus determinantes intermedios como el entorno de trabajo y políticas de flexibilidad. Además, examinamos las diferencias en los efectos marginales de gestión participativa entre nueve países euro-mediterráneos.
In order to reach an organization’s ultimate objectives as increasing company productivity and overall profitability, it is a well-known fact that employee needs should be met through various human resources (HR) policies and practices. The literature shows that an efficient strategy of human resource management (HRM), which focuses on generating and maintaining a well-motivated workforce, is a key factor for organizational success. Thus, the main purpose of the present doctoral dissertation is to better understand the impact of strategic management of HR and High-Performance Work Practices (HPWP) on several critical business issues such as gaining competitive advantage, tackling absenteeism in the workplace, and improving job satisfaction. Firstly, developing and sustaining competitive advantage is one of the most significant factors to guarantee the survival of a company against its rivals. Many organizations attempt to generate a unique business strategy to get a competitive superiority. Some managers foresee the opportunity to gain competitive advantage through human capital, which depends on manager’s talent to utilize HR practices. Therefore, the first empirical chapter of this dissertation considers the theoretical framework and the role of Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM), which proposes a “tight-fit” between the management quality of human resources and business strategies. Analyzing a questionnaire from 2007 that covers the data for 401 Spanish manufacturing companies, our results provide evidence indicating that SHRM is a distinctive aspect of a firm to ensure gaining a sustainable competitive advantage. It is also significant to have the support of a higher intensity of industrial technology and a larger proportion of employees with higher education. Specifically, the large-sized firms with higher SHRM quality tend to have a better organizational performance trend. Moreover, it is a major challenge to reduce the absence rate as it has been an emerging issue and its effects are directly proportional to decreased productivity and profitability. Although many researchers have sought solutions, there is still a lack of European research with concrete conclusions regarding the impact of the interaction between union settings and high-performance work practices (HPWP) on absence. Hence, the second empirical chapter of this dissertation identifies the determinants of absenteeism focusing on the interaction between labor unions and HPWP components, applying a fractional logistic model on the data from Spanish manufacturing companies. The results suggest that the performance-based incentives and use of job rotation/enrichment decrease the likelihood of high absence at high levels of union influence. Besides, training time and adoption of flextime practice are found as significant workplace flexibilities to deal with absenteeism at medium and lower union-influence levels. Labor market competition also plays an important role in absenteeism. The probability of higher absence is positively related to the firm size, percentage of female workers, and percentage of part-time employees. Finally, many studies suggest that organizations with low level of job satisfaction tend to face with absenteeism, tardiness, grievances, turnover, and strikes more frequently, which causes a large decrease in performance and profitability. Low job satisfaction has been an emerging issue in challenging business environment, especially during economic crisis. The literature suggests that participative management -as an instrument that can be influenced by a manager’s talent and skills- improves job satisfaction. Therefore, the third empirical chapter of this dissertation investigates the indirect impact of participative management on job satisfaction, utilizing the European Working Conditions Survey 2010. It provides evidence that participative management style has a significant positive influence in employee job satisfaction through its intermediary determinants such as working environment and family-friendly company policies. In addition, we examine the differences in the marginal effects of participative management, interacting with gender-effects, across nine Euro-Mediterranean countries.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: I dagens samhälle präglas organisationer av ekonomiska förändringar, detta genom globalisering, förändrade kundförhållanden och en ökad konkurrens. Organisationer behöver hela tiden förbättra sin konkurrenskraft genom att effektivisera sin verksamhet. Idag ses medarbetarna som organisationers viktigaste tillgång eftersom att de förser organisationer med viktiga källor för att bli konkurrenskraftiga. Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) är ett arbetssätt som handlar om att utforma HR-strategier som gör att medarbetarnas kunskap och kompetens bidrar till att nå organisationens övergripande mål. Syfte: Syftet med studien har varit att undersöka hur organisationen använder ett strategiskt HR-arbete (SHRM) och om det är ett framgångsrikt arbetssätt. Vår studie har bidragit till en ökad förståelse om begreppet SHRM och hur det kan användas samt hur SHRM kan påverka organisationen. Metod: Insamlingen av vårt empiriska material bygger på en kvalitativ metod där vi genomfört djupgående intervjuer med HR-chefer som arbetar i en organisation som är verksam inom fordonsindustrin. Slutsats: Vi har kommit fram till att organisationen använder SHRM som arbetssätt. Vi kan dock inte dra några konkreta slutsatser om hur SHRM påverkar or-ganisationen men det finns tydliga indikationer på att SHRM har en positiv inverkan och bidrar till en ökad produktivitet och effektivitet. Vi har även kommit fram till att det är viktigt att organisationen utövar ett ledarskap som främjar SHRM.
Background: In today's society organizations are characterized by economic changes, this by globalization, changing customer circumstances and increased competition. Organizations need to constantly improve their competitiveness by streamlining its operations. Today, employees are seen as the organizations most important asset, this because they provide organizations with important sources to become competitive. Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) is an approach that is about to build HR-strategies that make employees knowledge and skills to contribute the organizations to achieve the overall goals. Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine how the organization is using a strategic HR-work (SHRM) and if it is a successful strategy. Our study has contributed to a better understanding of the concept of SHRM and how it can be used and how SHRM can affect the organization. Method: The collection of our empirical material is based on a qualitative approach where we conducted in-depth interviews with HR-managers working in an organization that is active in the automotive industry. Conclusion: We have concluded that our survey shows that the organization uses the SHRM as working strategy. However, we can not draw any concrete conclusions in which way SHRM affect the organization, but there are clear indications that SHRM has a positive effect, contributing to increased productivity and efficiency. A further conclusion of our study is that it´s very important that the organization have a leadership that promotes SHRM.

Abstract:

Turnover rates are climbing every year, with a lack of engagement cited as a top reason, costing employers money in lost productivity. Slightly over one-third of workers worldwide consider themselves engaged. Employers are at risk of losing top talent due to a lack of engagement. Business leaders need to adapt to changing engagement practices invoking human resources (HR) as a strategic business partner. This study focused on strategic planning tools HR leaders in used to increase employee engagement. Interviews with leaders in a small-sized cloud-based data storage company in the Southeast region of the United States, were analyzed to identify themes. The inclusion of Bandura's social cognitive theory to increase self-efficacy was evident in the research as an important technique to increase success. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with the top 2 leaders from a small-sized cloud-based data management company in Orlando, Florida. Data collected from interviews were transcribed and coded to analyze emerging themes. Three themes discovered as strategic planning tools were feedback, timeframe, and leadership. The results of this study could contribute to social change by assisting employers in understanding the value of a successful strategic plan for employee engagement in lowering turnover. Lowering turnover in the immediate Orlando, FL area leads to lowering unemployment throughout and outside of the state. When employers understand the relationship between engagement, leadership, and human capital can shift employee self-efficacy and increase job satisfaction. Involving HR at the ground floor of an organization can provide much-needed balance and personnel management to increase overall engagement, reduce turnover, and impact municipal and regional businesses.

Abstract:

This study investigated the current practices of strategic human resources planning (SHRP) at large industrial and service companies in the United States and compared these practices with Walker's Four Stages of Human Resources planning model. The data for this study were collected from 130 industrial companies and 117 service companies listed in Fortune directories of the largest 500 industrial and largest 500 service companies in the United States. The study investigated also the impact of internal and external environmental factors on these companies' practices of SHRP. MANOVA, Factor Analysis, and Percentile Analysis were used as prime statistical methods in this study. Environmental factors studied were found to explain 78 per cent of the variances among large American companies. No significant difference was found between industrial and service companies in their SHRP practices. Significant improvements have taken place in large United States business corporations' practices of SHRP since the introduction of Walker's model (1974). These improvements took place in human resources information systems, forecasting human resource needs, human resource planning and development, and evaluation of SHRP projects, but the improvements were unbalanced. The improvements in corporate-centered SHRP activities were greater than the improvements in employee-centered SHRP activities. The reasons for unbalanced developments were explained and future directions were predicted. The findings of this study were compared to the findings of many recent studies in SHRP fields and future directions of the developments of SHRP were discussed. The conclusions of this study suggested that United States corporations are in need of balanced development in both employee-centered and corporate-centered SHRP. American companies are in need of advanced models to shape their practice in SHRP fields. Walker's model has been evaluated as the best available model. The study showed that mediumsized companies in the United States will benefit from SHRP and that they are able to pay the cost of SHRP projects. Several implications and recommendations for future studies and for business and educational institutions are listed.

Abstract:

In Strategic International Human Resource Management (SIHRM), the human resource function is actively involved in the strategic activities of the firm. While the idea holds promise as a useful response to global competition, previous research has provided limited supporting empirical evidence. Specifically, few studies have sought to equate certain outcomes with the degree of SIHRM practiced across various types of international firms. By separating firms into categories such as multidomestic, global, and hybrid, and by classifying SIHRM according to the degree of integration with strategic planning, a clearer picture could emerge as to the relationship between firm and SIHRMtype. To that end, top strategic executives, such as CEOs, and top HRM executives from eighty four U.S. based firms were surveyed regarding their firm type, the degree of SIHRM practiced, and certain outcomes such as amount of expatriate training and expatriate failure. Additionally, financial results were obtained to determine performance of various firms. Results indicated that while many companies choose a highly integrated formof SIHRM, there is no significant relationship between firm type and SIHRMtype. Additionally, there was no association detected between SIHRMtype and expatriate training and expatriate failure. Finally, there was no significant difference infinancialperformance between firms with the most integrated type of SIHRMand firms with less integrated versions. Interestingly, the HRMprofessionals were more likely to equate their firms with the most integrated types of SIHRMthan were other managers. This may mean that the relationship between HRM and strategic planning is often one of perception. A model of the relationships between SIHRM, firm type, HRM activities, and outcomes is proposed, along with suggestions for future research and limitations of the study.

Impact of data quality on utilisation and perceived usefulness of integrated Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS). Integrated HR Information systems have become prevalent in modern organisations. These systems promise operational efficiencies and competitive advantage. In order to deliver these benefits, the systems should be effectively utilised and perceived as a useful business tools. The utilisation and perceived usefulness of the HRIS could be influenced by quality of data it produces. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of data quality on the utilisation and usefulness of the HRIS. The aim was to ensure that organisations realise their investments in HRIS. This would be achieved by improving qualities that ensures effective utilisation of HRIS. Moreover, the study sought to enhance the body of academic knowledge in HRIS as far data quality is concerned. Mixed research method was used to meet the objectives of the study. Survey research and qualitative interviews techniques were employed. Statistical and deductive analysis was applied to raw data in order to draw conclusions. The study found that data quality positively influence utilisation and usefulness of HRIS. Moreover, findings revealed that the HRIS was predominantly used for operational, rather than strategic tasks. HRIS data is also not generally perceived to be of poor quality. HR practitioners emphasise accuracy over other quality dimensions. Organisations that seek to maximise their investment in HRIS should implement data quality improvement initiatives. This will ensure that the system is effectively utilised and produces high quality information for decision-making. This could lead to competitive advantage. Further research could be undertaken to understand; success factors for HRIS data quality initiatives, determinants of HRIS user satisfaction, drivers for dedicated HRIS management roles and the impact of having HRIS manager among others.

Abstract:

My intention in undertaking this thesis was to examine the interaction relationship between Strategic Alliances (SA) and Strategic HRM (SHRM) in Chinese context. In addition, I was also interested in investigating whether different types of SA will have different influences on enterprises' HRM and on employees' personal feelings. An extensive literature review revealed a considerable number on studies of SA or on studies of SHRM. However, there is limited literature on the interaction relationship between SA and SHRM, particularly in China. I was interest in fulfill these huge research gaps and link these two significant fields together. In my case studies located in the manufactory and hotel industries in different cities in China. I conducted both quantitative and qualitative research methods, including a questionnaire survey and interviews. The analysis of my fieldwork results indicated that SA and SHRM have close link. After SA with foreign partners, the enterprise's HRM will become more strategic (central, formal and fair) and more strategic HRM will strength enterprise's SA. In addition, my fieldwork results also indicated that different types of SA will have different effects on enterprise' HRM. Cooperative joint venture (ClY) has more positive effects on HRM than equity joint venture (EJY). My research also presents that after SA employees' personal feelings becomes more positive to their organization. Employees' commitment, satisfaction, motivation and job security increased and employees are more like to work in foreign managed enterprises Finally, as my findings led me to the conclusion that the relationship between SA and SHRM form three virtuous circle. The first circle comprises interaction between SAs and SHRM. The second comprises interaction between SAs and employees' personal feelings about their jobs and employing organisation. The third circle comprises interaction between employees' personal feelings and SHRM. I argued that the interaction in these circles is continuous and that three circles are virtuous circles. I also argued that national level, industry level and enterprise level factors will affect on these three virtuous circles

Abstract:

Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) offers a peoplemanagement framework which promotes improved performance, innovation and competitiveness. However, little research has considered how such practices are implemented within Construction SMEs, and whether they complement overall business strategy. The nature of the UK construction industry requires construction organisations to balance project requirements with competing organisational and individual employee expectations, priorities and needs. This conflict raises several complex and problematic issues for SHRM within the construction industry as well as opportunities for improvement. However to date, despite this sector exhibiting the well-known `labour-intensive' and `people oriented' characteristics, there is little informed understanding of the complex interplay of factors that shape strategic decision making processes, and approaches to SHRM within construction SMEs. The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the types of HRM strategies used by construction SMEs and develop a framework to improve their organisational performance. The objectives of the research were: 1) To establish whether construction SMEs undertake strategic management, the types of strategies employed and how they implement their strategies, 2) To establish whether construction SMEs undertake SHRM, the types of strategies employed, how they implement their strategies and whether size of firm influences their practices; 3) Examine the relationship between the different SHRM approaches, the associated strategic organisational goals, in order to establish whether the approaches and goals are mutually supportive; and 4) To develop a framework linking SHRM approaches to specific organisational goals for construction SMEs.

Abstract:

Background: It is important to develop and execute human resource practices that generate employee competencies and behaviours the company needs to achieve its strategic goals. SHRM is about how to align HR strategies with corporate strategies, and implemented in a correct way SHRM can be an efficient tool to use for enhancing organisational performance.

Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to evaluate the alignment between EWES Stålfjäder AB´s corporate strategies and its HR strategies.

Method: To study this we believe it was accurate to use a qualitative method approach. The empirical study consists of semi-structured interviews as well as written documents.

Analysis: The structure of the analysis follows the theoretical framework. We have used the model developed by Dessler (2008, p. 95), “How to Align HR Strategy and Actions with Business Strategy”.

Conclusions: We found that EWES Stålfjäder AB need to clarify their corporate strategies throughout the whole organisation. This will help them to identify and implement HR strategies that are in line with them. Working in this manner, we believe it will help EWES to conceptualize and execute accurate changes the organisation needs to accomplish their corporate strategies. Furthermore, we found that most of EWES’ HR practices become more like add-ons than strategic activities that are aligned with their corporate strategies.

Abstract:

L'interès d'aquesta tesi és poder comprendre per què algunes empreses espanyoles obtenen millors resultats que unes altres en el mercat xinès. Per tal d'assolir aquest objectiu, la tesi se centra en l'estudi dels recursos humans estratègics (RHE). La pregunta que es planteja és com poden els recursos humans contribuir estratègicament a l'acompliment de les empreses, a la gestió estratègica i, específicament, a la formulació d'estratègies, ateses turbulències dels negocis globals i els canvis tan ràpids que es produeixen en l'objecte d'estudi.

La tesi s'estructura en sis capítols i està dividida en dues parts: una de teòrica i una altra d'empírica.

Després de la introducció de l'estudi i l'estructura, es presenta el cos de la recerca sobre les empreses espanyoles a la Xina. A continuació es revisa la bibliografia existent en el camp dels recursos humans estratègics. Per mitjà de la definició de recursos humans, en sentit ampli, es proposa una taxonomia de RHE i es formulen les preguntes de la recerca en concret.

Per a aquest estudi s'utilitza el mètode de casos comparatius qualitatius. Les dades es van recollir en casos comparatius dintre de dues subdivisions industrials: indústries de gran consum i de no gran consum. Es van entrevistar els decisors estratègics i aquestes entrevistes es van enregistrar, transcriure i analitzar amb l'aproximació de l'anàlisi temàtica. Els resultats descrits es basen en dues dimensions analítiques: direcció general i recursos humans estratègics internacionals. Cada element d'aquestes dues dimensiones s'ha discutit i comparat, i s'ha afegit una narració del cas dintre de cada clúster.

El procés de la contribució dels recursos humans a la formulació d'estratègies s'il·lustra per mitjà de l'examen de l'estructura, el lideratge, els recursos humans internacionals i l'aprenentatge. La tesi explora la funció crítica de la contribució estratègica dels recursos humans a l'acompliment empresarial per mitjà de la formulació de l'estratègia i proposa un marc teòric per a les futures recerques en aquest camp. Finalment, se'n discuteixen les limitacions.
El interés de esta tesis es comprender mejor por qué algunas empresas españolas consiguen un mejor desempeño que otras en el mercado chino. Para conseguir este objetivo, esta tesis se centra en el estudio de los recursos humanos estratégicos internacionales (RHEI). La pregunta que se plantea es cómo pueden los recursos humanos (RRHH) contribuir estratégicamente al desempeño de las empresas, la gestión estratégica y, específicamente, a la formulación de estrategias, dadas las turbulencias de los negocios globales y los rápidos cambios que se producen en el objeto de estudio.

La tesis se estructura en seis capítulos y está dividida en dos partes: una teórica y otra empírica.
Después de la introducción del interés de la investigación y su estructura, se presenta el contexto de la investigación sobre las empresas españolas en China. Le sigue una revisión de la bibliografía en el campo de los recursos humanos estratégicos. Utilizando la definición de RRHH en sentido amplio, se propone una taxonomía de RHE y se formulan las preguntas concretas de la investigación.

Para este estudio, se emplea el método de los casos comparativos cualitativos. Los datos se obtuvieron de casos comparativos dentro de dos subdivisiones industriales: las industrias de gran consumo y las de no gran consumo. Se entrevistó a los responsables de la toma de decisiones estratégicas, y los datos fueron grabados, transcritos y analizados con la aproximación del análisis tématico. Los resultados descritos se basan en dos dimensiones analíticas: dirección general y recursos humanos estratégicos internacionales. Cada elemento de estas dos dimensiones se ha discutido y comparado, y se ha añadido una narración del caso dentro de cada clúster.

El proceso de la contribución de los RRHH a la formulación de estrategias se ilustra examinando la estructura, el liderazgo, los recursos humanos internacionales y el aprendizaje. La tesis explora la función crítica de la contribución estratégica de los RRHH al desempeño empresarial mediante la formulación de la estrategia, y propone un marco teórico para las futuras investigaciones en el campo. Finalmente, se discuten las limitaciones del estudio.
The research interest of this thesis is to further understanding of why some Spanish firms perform better than others in China, and in doing so it focuses on the field of international strategic human resources (ISHR). The question addressed is: how can human resources (HR) contribute strategically to firm performance, to strategic management and specifically, to strategy formulation, given the turbulence of global business and the rapid changes in the studied object. After the research interest and structure has been introduced, the research context of Spanish firms in China is presented. This is followed by a literature review of the strategic human resources field. Taking a broad definition of HR, a taxonomy of strategic human resources (SHR) is proposed and specific research questions are formulated. Employing a qualitative comparative case study method, data were collected from comparative cases within two industrial sub-divisions, the consumer goods and non-consumer goods industries. Strategy decision-makers were interviewed, and data were transcribed and analysed using a data-driven thematic analysis approach. The results described are based on two analytical dimensions: general management and international SHR. Each element of these two dimensions is discussed and compared, followed by a case narration within each cluster. The process of HR's contribution to strategy formulation is illustrated through examining structure, leadership, international HR and learning. The thesis then explores the critical function of HR's strategic contribution to firm performance through strategy formulation, and proposes a framework for further research in this area. Finally, limitations are discussed. This thesis is presented in six chapters and divided into two parts, theoretical and empirical respectively.

Abstract:

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.
Human resource management is a widely researched field. However, the research done in terms of small to medium-sized enterprises, is extremely limited, especially in South Africa. The aim of this research was to investigate human resource management practices in one such a company, and to develop a feasible action plan to improve on these practices. The chosen company, Task Applied Science (Pty) Ltd, is a medical research company based in Cape Town, South Africa. The data for the study was obtained through a literature review and interviews. The data from the literature review identified best practices and frameworks. This was combined with interviewing company employees as well as HRM practitioners in the medical field to not only identify problems, but to also suggest possible solutions. These solutions were compiled in a comprehensive action plan. As such, the results offer a workable solution for Task Applied Science, and can serve as example for all small to medium-sized enterprises. The literature review further showed that smaller companies tend to ignore the importance of human resource management due to the time and costs involved and the fact that they are focussed on the external environment rather than the internal. This cannot simply be remedied by implementing practices developed in large companies. Best practices need to be customised to fit the needs of the specific company. The findings showed that only certain human resource management practices were implemented in reaction to crises, or as needs arose. This, combined with the rapid growth and lack of structure, caused a breakdown in communication, transparency, and trust. Staff loyalty decreased because they felt that they were left in the dark. Both the company strategy and values became vague, and thus staff could not be aligned to it. Noteworthy was that the increase in policies and documentation did not cause employees to feel restricted, but rather that it created a feeling of security. The study made it abundantly clear that the human resources department needs to be treated as a strategic partner in the planning and execution of the company strategy; especially in terms of efficient change management. Their role is to communicate the strategic direction, while at the same time acting as an activist for the staff, voicing their needs and capabilities. The proposed action plan focused mainly on the company culture and the alignment of staff with the company’s business strategy. This was done by addressing issues such as company culture, communication, company values, and staff development. The plan offers practical solutions within each of these categories. Furthermore, it suggests solutions in terms of efficient staff recruitment and knowledge management. By implementing this plan the company will be able to increase the synergy between the business units within the company, eradicating silos, and establishing the staff as a competitive advantage. In addition to this, it will establish the human resources department as a credible partner for the staff in developing both their personal and professional lives.

Abstract:

O mercado atual reflete um ambiente global, complexo, altamente competitivo e volátil para as organizações, o que, no campo da gestão de pessoas, se traduz em desafios relacionados à escassez de profissonais bem qualificados e especializados. Pesquisas internacionais e nacionais do final da década de 1990 e dos anos 2000, dedicadas à área da gestão de pessoas, apontam frequentemente que, para se manter nessa realidade de aumento da concorrência global pelo emprego e a busca por Talentos, as organizações teriam que investir em atrair, desenvolver e reter os melhores profissionais. As empresas deixaram de ser as únicas protagonistas na oferta de emprego e passaram a investir na gestão destes Talentos. Diante desse contexto, essa dissertação buscou contribuir para a literatura de RH e de Gestão de Talentos, analisando a diversidade conceitual sobre talento, sua gestão e as abordagens teóricas sobre o tema. No objetivo central deste estudo foi proposto analisar a relação entre a produção acadêmica e a utilização no meio corporativo das práticas de gestão e conceitos de Talento em Administração. Para isso, realizou-se um estudo em caráter exploratório e descritivo. Na análise dos dados empíricos foram empregadas técnicas de estatística descritiva e análise de conteúdo com suporte do software NVivo. Procedeu-se a uma revisão de literatura sobre Talentos em diversos campos do conhecimento e em Administração, bem como a uma contextualização da produção acadêmica sobre Gestão Estratégica de Recursos Humanos. Contatou-se que o termo Talento é fluido e particular ao meio em que está inserido e que a Gestão de Talentos consiste em uma configuração de práticas para gerir os talentos na organização. Na fase empírica, foram analisadas, por meio de uma survey, 471 empresas atuantes no Brasil. Estas foram categorizadas quanto à prática formal de Gestão de Talentos e às abordagens inclusiva (todos são talentos) e exclusiva (nem todos são talentos). As empresas que declararam ter um programa formal de Gestão de Talentos representaram 75% do total da amostra e é maioria no que se refere à formalização das diretrizes estratégicas organizacionais e de recursos humanos. A população empregada nessas empresas tem maior escolaridade, são mais jovens e tem menos tempo de casa do que a das empresas sem o programa formal da Gestão de Talentos. A prática de abordagem exclusiva ou diferenciadora deste programa se mostrou emergente e estratégica no cenário nacional. Foram analisadas as definições de talento declaradas pelas empresas em relação à literatura deste tema, verificou-se que para cada empresa há uma definição de talento, mas que nestas há termos que se repetem nestas definições. Assim, foi gerada uma listagem com as palavras mais frequentes por categoria de empresa. A análise agregada dessa lista em relação à literatura de talentos e a de GT, possibilitou consolidar os termos principais em duas categorias de atributos de Talento, sendo eles: os identificadores e os qualificadores. Diante dos resultados obtidos, percebeu-se que as organizações têm intenção em praticar a Gestão de Talentos, sendo o seu desenvolvimento um desafio para o meio corporativo e para a academia. Ficou evidente o crescimento das publicações relacionadas a esse assunto no campo da Administração e a sua prática emergente e formal por organizações atuantes no país. Este estudo se limitou ao estilo descritivo o que não permitiu análises em profundidade e se restringiu à utilização de dados secundários. Sugerem-se para estudos futuros, técnicas de estudo de caso longitudinais e pesquisas que busquem apontar como as empresas podem operacionalizar a GT de modo estratégico e a possibilidade de identificar precocemente os Talentos em gestão.
The current market reflects a global environment that is complex, highly competitive and volatile to organizations. These organizations thrive trough modern challenges that are related to the lack of well qualified and specialized professionals. These organizations left the role of job offering and start to invest on attraction, development and retention of talents. International and national research, from the late years of the decade of 1990 and years 2000, dedicated to people management sector frequently point that to remain on this reality of increase on global competition for jobs and search for talent, the organizations would have to invest to attract, develop and retain the best professionals. On that context, this dissertation aim to contribute to the literature of Human Resources and Talent Management, regarding conceptual diversity on talent, its management and theoretical approaches. The main goal of this study was the analysis of the relation between academic production and its use on organizations, its management practices and concepts of talent on Administration. This study can be classified as exploratory and descriptive. For empiric data analysis, statistical descriptive analysis was employed as well as content analysis; both supported with the use of the software NVivo. Part of the study comprehend a literature review on Talent trough diverse fields of knowledge and Administration, with that, it was possible to put on context the academic production on Strategic Human Resources Management. It was possible to conclude that the term Talent is fluid and particular to the medium were it is presented and that Talent Management consist of a configuration of practices to manage the talents on the organization. At the empiric fase, 471 companies that have operations on Brazil were analyzed trough a survey. These were categorized due to its practices on formal Talent Management and its inclusive (everybody is a talent) and exclusive (not everybody is a talent) approaches. The companies that declared to have a formal program of Talent Management represent 75% of sample total and are the majority in what concern the formalization of strategic guidelines to human and organizational resources. People employed on these companies have higher education, are younger and have been on the company longer than those on companies without a formal program to Talent Management. The practice of exclusive or differentiation of this program show itself as emergent and strategic on the national scenario. Considering the literature on this theme, the analysis of the definitions of Talent declared by the companies revealed that there is a talent definition to each company, but there are terms that are common on these different definitions. From that, was generated a list with the most frequent words by company category. The joint analysis of this list with the literature on Talent and Talent Management has made possible to consolidate two Talent attribute categories: Identifiers and Qualifiers. With this results, it was possible to notice the organizational intention in practice Talent Management, been its development a challenge to both academic and corporative fields. The growth of publications related to the subject on the field of Administration and the emerging of formal practice by organizations with operations on Brazil has become clear. This study is limited to descriptive analysis and the use of secondary data; therefore it was not possible to proceed with in depth analysis. It is suggested to future studies the use of techniques such as longitudinal case study and the pursue of themes such as the identification of how companies can operate the Talent Management in a strategic way and the possibility to early identification of Talent in Management.

Abstract:

Human resources (HR) outsourcing has become a norm that organizational leaders leverage as a strategic tool to achieve various business objectives. However, the outsourcing of specific HR functions generates unintended consequences and impacts the performance of internal staff. The purpose of this qualitative, descriptive multiple case study was to explore the strategies used by HR managers to mitigate the negative effects outsourcing has on HR staff performance. The conceptual framework underpinning this research was transaction cost theory. Data were collected from 6 HR executives with experience leading HR outsourcing initiatives in the financial services industry in the United States. Primary data were gathered by conducting semistructured interviews with a set of 8 consistent, open-ended interview questions. Data analysis involved coding of the interview transcripts and analysis of company documents provided by the participants to identify themes. Member checking and methodological triangulation enhanced the credibility of the study. Three themes emerged from the interviews with HR executives as key strategies for managing HR performance: training, communication, and performance management. The findings of this study may contribute to positive social change by providing best practices and strategies to increase the effectiveness of HR outsourcing by mitigating its impact on the performance of HR staff. Furthermore, the effective management of HR outsourcing decisions may increase employment stability, positively affecting the lives of HR staff, increasing the profitability of U.S. businesses, and contributing to a stable U.S. economy.

A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Masters Degree in Management from the NOVA – School of Business and Economics
This study aims to explore the impact of the HRM content (i.e. HRM practices) on individual (proximal) and organizational (distal) outcomes, in the hotel industry context, as well as the influence of the HRM process (i.e. HRM strength) as a mediator in the link between HRM practices and individual and organizational outcomes. A total of 202 responses from non-supervisory employees and 38 from supervisors, from 7 hotels in Algarve, were collected and analysed. HRM practices were grouped into three HRM bundles, through an exploratory factor analysis – Internal Labour Market, Employee Involvement and Meritocracy and Security. These HRM bundles were found to have a significant association with both proximal and distal outcomes. Specifically, Internal Labour Market was associated with Job Satisfaction, Organizational Citizenship Behaviour, Work Engagement and Innovative Behaviour; Employee Involvement was associated with Job Satisfaction, Organizational Commitment towards the Organization, Organizational Citizenship Behaviour, Work Engagement and Innovative Behaviour; and Meritocracy and Security was only significant with Organizational Commitment towards the Organization, Organizational Citizenship Behaviour and Innovative Behaviour. Both Internal Labour Market and Meritocracy and Security positively affect Organizational Innovation. Some of the relationships obtained were mediated by Strength of the HRM system, but not all. Strength of the HRM system reveals itself as a signalling mechanism to increase visibility and relevance of some bundles of HRM practices. Implications of these findings are also discussed.

Abstract:

Thesis (MBA (Business Management))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.
ENGLISH SUMMARY: Total quality management (TQM) can be defined as a systemic approach on a global level, based on process management of continuous quality improvement by all human resources within the business or company environment, with the specific intent to satisfy the implicit expectations of all stakeholders in the specific business environment. Various factors play a role in the active drive towards a quality-driven learning environment. These factors include increasingly changing market forces, changes in customer requirements and the very way in which quality is perceived by the employees within a company. The above statement raises some important questions, such as • What is the quantifiable value of quality, and • Why is it very easily ignored by various companies? The reason for such questions is the significant shift needed in the thought patterns of management, difficulty in abandoning misconceptions about TQM and difficulty in learning from own mistakes and those of others. It seems that the biggest barrier to the implementation of a total quality system is the misconception that quality will immediately be perfect and is a quick solution which is self-sustaining. TQM is, in fact, not a model that is built in concrete, but a journey consisting of sequential steps. As with any staircase, it can only be sustainable if it is solidly founded on factors such as managerial commitment, drive, fairness, motivation and mobilisation of human resources.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Totale gehaltebestuur word gedefinieer as ‘n sistemiese metode op ‘n globale vlak, gebaseer op die bestuur van deurlopende gehalteverbetering deur al die menslike hulpbronne binne 'n onderneming, dit wil sê die sake- of maatskappy-omgewing, met die spesifieke oogmerk om aan die implisiete verwagtinge van die aandeelhouers in die onderneming (besigheidsomgewing) te voldoen. Daar is verskeie faktore wat 'n rol speel in die aktiewe strewe na ‘n kwaliteitsgedrewe leeromgewing. Hierdie faktore behels onder meer die voortdurend veranderende markkragte, veranderinge in die verwagtings van kliënte, en die kwaliteitsbeskouing van die werkers binne ‘n maatskappy. Bogenoemde ontlok belangrike vrae, soos • Hoe word die meetbare waarde van kwaliteit bepaal, en • waarom word dit so maklik deur ondernemings geïgnoreer? Hierdie soort bevraagtekening is 'n aanduiding dat daar ‘n merkbare en betekenisvolle gedagteskuif by bestuur nodig is ten opsigte van hul beskouing van gehalte, dat wanbegrippe oor totale gehaltebestuur verander moet word, en dat probleme in verband met die leer van lesse uit eie foute en dié van ander oorbrug sal moet word. Die grootste probleem ten opsigte van die ontwikkeling van ‘n totale gehaltebestuurstelsel, is die wanpersepsie dat gehalte meteens foutloos sal wees, dat dit ‘n vinnige oplossing is en dat dit selfonderhoudend sal wees. Totale gehaltebestuur is nie ‘n model wat, by wyse van spreke, in beton gegiet is nie, maar ‘n proses met opeenvolgende stappe. Soos met enige stel "trappe", kan dit net volhoubaar wees as dit ‘n sterk fundering het, wat gerugsteun word deur bestuursbetrokkenheid en - deursettingsvermoë, dryfkrag, regverdigheid, motivering en die mobilisasie van die werksmag.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In order to enhance human resource development in the public service, the South African Government launched its first human resource development strategy in 2002. This strategy was implemented over a period of four years. It was subsequently followed by another strategy, called the Human Resources Development (HRD) Strategic Framework Vision 2015, which was published by the Department of Public Service and Administration (the DPSA) in 2008. One of the pillars of the latter strategy, which is also the focus of this study, is organizational support systems. The aim of this study was to determine whether the Chief Directorate: Strategic Health Programmes (CD:SHP) successfully implements, as designed in the departmental HRD plan, the three strategic interventions related to organizational support systems. The objectives were to – assess the alignment of the organizational support systems in the Chief Directorate with the overall departmental organizational support systems (as stated in the HRD plan); - identify factors that hamper proper implementation of the departmental organizational support systems in the Chief Directorate; and - propose key strategic interventions to ensure successful implementation of the departmental organizational support systems. The organizational support system pillar has eleven strategic interventions, but, due to resources constraints, only three were investigated. These are: - to promote effective human resource planning in terms of demand for skills and training in public sector organizations; - to strengthen structures, systems and processes for the performance management and development in the public service; and - to groom and foster in-house capacity through effective career planning and talent management in departments of government. The process/implementation evaluation approach, with semi-structured interviews and questionnaire, was employed for this study. A mixed methodology, which covered the breadth of the quantitative method and the depth of the qualitative method, was used in this study. The findings indicated that the CD: SHP is not successfully implementing the pillar as designed by the departmental HRD plan. Among others, the following were identified as responsible for poor implementation: - lack of policy, strategy or guideline on HRD; - understaffed HRD units; - lack of coordination and cooperation between and among the stakeholders responsible for HRD (e.g. Human Resource Management( HRM), Performance Management and Development System (PMDS) and line managers); and - abdication of the performance management responsibility vested in managers. Key strategic interventions proposed to remedy the situation, among others, include: - reviewing the structure of the HRD directorate and filling, as a matter of urgency, all vacant posts; - reviving the committee responsible for coordinating HRD activities; - implementing and coordinating all HRD activities, from the HRD directorate, aimed at developing workplace skills plans and the effective utilization of personal development plans; - developing the blueprint for succession-planning and staff-retention strategies; and - assuring that PMDS becomes one of the key performance areas of all supervisors and managers in the Chief Directorate and that, regarding non-compliance, consistent sanctions be applied across all levels.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Suid-Afrikaanse regering het in 2002 sy eerste menshulpbronontwikkeling (MHO)-strategie vir die staatsdiens in werking gestel om die uitbouing van dié hulpbron te bevorder. Hierdie strategie is oor ‟n vier jaar periode geïmplementeer en in 2008 opgevolg deur nog een, naamlik die Visie 2015 Strategiese Raamwerk vir Mensehulpbronontwikkeling (SRM), soos gepubliseer deur die Departement Staatsdiens en Administrasie (DPSA). Een van laasgenoemde strategie se steunpilare, wat ook die hooffokus is van hierdie studie, is organisatoriese ondersteuningstelsels. Die doelwit van hierdie studie was om te bepaal of die Hoofdirektoraat: Strategiese Gesondheidsprogramme (H:SG) sukses behaal met die implementering van programme, soos uiteengesit in die departementele MHO-plan se drie strategiese intervensies, veral met betrekking tot die organisatoriese ondersteuningstelsels. Die doel was om – te bepaal hoedanig die gerigdheid is tussen die organisatoriese ondersteuningstelsels in die Hoofdirektoraat en die algemene departementele ondersteuningstelsels (soos uiteengesit in die MHO-plan); - te identifiseer watter faktore behoorlike implementering van die departementele organisatoriese hulpsisteme in die Hoofdirektoraat belemmer; en - strategiese sleutelintervensies voor te stel wat suksesvolle implementering van die departementele organisatoriese hulpstelsels sal verseker. Die organisatoriese ondersteuningstelsel-pilaar het elf strategiese intervensies, maar, as gevolg van beperkings op beskikbare bronne, is net drie ondersoek. Hierdie intervensies is nodig om: - die beplanning van effektiewe mensehulpbronontwikkeling, in terme van die bestaande behoefte na vaardighede en opleiding in openbaresektor organisasies, te bevorder; - strukture, sisteme en prosesse vir prestasiebestuur en ontwikkeling in die staatsdiens te versterk; en - bestaande kapasiteit ten opsigte van mensekapitaal voor te berei, touwys te maak en te koester, deur effektiewe loopbaanbeplanning en talentbestuur binne regeringsdepartemente. Die proses/implementering evaluasie-benadering, met gedeeltelik gestruktureerde onderhoude en vraelyste, is vir hierdie ondersoek gebruik. ‟n Gemengde metodiek, wat die wydte van die kwantitatiewe metode en die diepte van die kwalitatiewe metode inspan, is vir hierdie studie aangewend. Die bevindings het aangedui dat die H:SG nie daarin slaag om die betrokke pilaar, soos deur die departementele MHO-plan ontwerp, te implementeer nie. Die volgende redes is, onder andere, geïdentifiseer as verantwoordelik vir die swak implementering: - gebrek aan beleid, strategie en leiding ten opsigte van MHO; - onderbemande MHO-eenhede; - gebrek aan koördinasie en samewerking tussen belanghebbendes (asook onderling) wat verantwoordelik is vir MHO (byv. Mensehulpbronbestuur (MHB), Prestasiebestuur en Ontwikkelingsisteem (PBOS) en lynbedtuurders); en - afstandoening van hulle prestasiebestuursverpligtinge wat aan bestuurders opgedra is. Strategiese sleutelintervensies wat voorgestel word om die situasie te herstel, sluit o.a. in: - die hersiening van die struktuur van die MHB-direktoraat en, as ‟n saak van dringendheid, die vul van alle vakante poste; - die herinstelling van die komitee verantwoordelik vir die koördinering van MHO-aktiwiteite; - die implementering en koördinering van alle MHO-aktiwiteite van die MHO-direktoraat, sodat vaardighede by die werkplek ontwikkel word en die effektiewe aanwending van persoonlike ontwikkelingsplanne plaasvind; - die ontwikkeling van ‟n bloudruk vir personeel opvolgbeplanning en strategieë om personeel te behou; en - die versekering dat PBOS een van die sleutel prestasie-areas sal wees wat alle supervisors en bestuurders in die Hoofdirektoraat sal toepas en, in geval van nalatigheid in hierdie verband, strafmaatreëls op alle bestuursvlakke toegepas sal word.

Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] The commercial developments of the late 20th and early 21st centuries have come to signify profound and far-reaching change in the way that goods and services are designed, produced, marketed and delivered to customers in the world's international and domestic markets. In order to respond to a more intensively competitive trading environment that demands ever-increasing levels of product quality, customer service, organisational efficiency and business performance, the management of business entities has undergone fundamental alteration in form and content. It is within this context that two traditionally disparate business disciplines have emerged to play an important role in the new economic commercial order, that of small business management and that of Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM). Historically eclipsed by the large and powerful mass-producing corporations, the small business sector has been more recently viewed as playing an increasingly prominent part in the creation of national and regional prosperity within the developed countries. The unprecedented interest in smaller firms and the desire to see them fulfill their economic and social potential have resulted in legislative reform and widespread initiatives by governments and other institutions designed to support and protect the smaller operators in their commercial endeavours. Similarly, in the post-industrial knowledge economy people have risen in prominence over other organisational resources as a key source of competitive commercial advantage. The role of intellectual capital in securing business success has fuelled the development of management technology and methods designed to enhance the contribution of human resources to business performance. Heralded by many as the defining managerial approach for enterprises that wish to build sustainable competitive advantage in the markets of today and the future, SHRM has come to the fore as a means to re-evaluate the importance of human contribution to business outcomes and guide management practice in leveraging the latent potential of a company's human assets. ... In general, the management of business strategy was found to possess low levels of structure and formality, effectively merging into the collective activities associated with owning and operating a small business. Similarly, when compared with the key elements of a strategic human resource management framework constructed specifically for this study, the data indicated that the strategic management of people is prevalent in smaller firms but that this again represents only partial adoption of normative models as commonly promoted for the larger business management context. It was concluded that the theoretical principles and concepts of SHRM demonstrate relevance for small companies on account of the status of the contemporary external commercial environment in which they must compete as well as the range of managerial benefits associated with strategic methodology and practice. However, currently there exist no suitable models of practice with supporting guidelines that respond to the unique contextual and operational needs and experiences typical of smaller firm owner-managers.

Abstract:

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vad HRM arbetar med inom den social och miljömässig hållbarheten i organisationer samt vilka utmaningar som finns inom hållbarhetsområdet. Uppsatsen vill även undersöka om det finns konkurrensfördelar som HRM kan generera. Det empiriska materialet har samlats in genom tre stycken fysiska semistrukturerade intervjuer och två telefonintervjuer från två olika organisationer. De fem intervjuerna följde samma intervjuschema. Genom uppsatsen har det visat sig att HRM i större utsträckning arbetar med den social hållbarhet i jämförelse med den miljömässiga hållbarheten. Detta i relation till HRMs kompetenser, kunskaper samt humana resurser. I och med HRMs kompetenser inom den sociala hållbarheten kan de skapa konkurrensfördelar gentemot andra organisationer då de anses värdefulla och sällsynta. De slutsatser som identifierats är att HRM i dagsläget bör arbeta med den sociala hållbarheten och hållbart ledarskap. I framtiden kommer det krävas mer kompetenser och kunskaper för HRM för att kunna arbeta med den miljömässiga hållbarheten, vilket kan ses som en utmaning. En ytterligare utmaning inom HRM är tillgången till fler humana resurser. Fler humana skulle kunna öka möjligheterna för ett ännu bättre arbete med både den sociala hållbarheten samt hållbart ledarskap, men skulle även öppna upp möjligheterna för ett miljömässigt hållbarhetsarbete.
The purpose of this essay is to examine what HRM is working with within the social and the environmental sustainability in organizations and also which challenges there are within corporate sustainability. The essay also wants to examine if there are any competitive advantages that HRM can generate. The empirical materials have been gathered through three physical semi-structured interviews and two telephone interviews from two different organizations. The five interviews were conducted with the same questions. It has been found that HRM in greater occurrences works with the social sustainability in comparison to the environmental sustainability. This in relation to HRMs competencies, knowledge and human resources. As a result of HRMs competencies within social responsibility, they can create competitive advantages against other organizations as they are considered valuable and rare. The conclusions that are identified are that HRM should work with social responsibility and sustainable leadership. In the future, more competencies and knowledge will be required for HRM to be able to work with environmental sustainability, which can be a challenge. A further challenge within HRM may be the availability of human resources. More people working with HRM could increase opportunities for even better work with social sustainability and sustainable leadership and would also open up opportunities for work with environmental sustainability.

As Small and Medium Enterprises in Korea play a pivotal role in Korean economy, their sustainable growth is critical for Korea's development. One of drivers that enable SMEs to pursue sustainable growth is Human Resource Management. Since "People" is one of the most valuable assets in a company, its survival could depend upon strategic utilization of human resource. Korean economy has a Chaebol conglomerates centric business structure where Small and Medium Enterprises are difficult to compete with them for their survival. Especially, the human resource-related issues are the most significant and urgent for them to solve. Therefore, I would like to suggest possible and feasible strategic Human Resource Management framework for Korean Small and Medium Enterprises for their sustainable growth. In this thesis, the points that I will be focusing on are: i) Analyzing on Korean SME's problems on HRM ii) Deriving lessons from successful HRM cases iii) Coming up with Strategic HRM Framework that Korean SMEs can apply. 1. Do successful corporations have their unique Human Resource Management strategy? 2. How can Korean Small and Medium Enterprises acquire human resource-related core competency within Chaebol conglomerates-centered economy in Korea? To find answers to these questions and to develop a proper Human Resource Management Framework for Small and Medium Enterprises, case studies on Talent Management Wheel, Hidden Champions, and Yuhan-Kimberly were used as examples of successful Human Resource Management. In this case studies, it became clear that one of the key drivers for successful companies is a well-organized Human Resource Management system. Lastly, I conclude by suggesting a strategic Human Resource Management framework that Korean Small and Medium Enterprises can adopt for their sustainable growth and the significance of successful Human Resource Management system that creates invaluable virtuous circles in the society.

Abstract:

Under de senaste decennierna har HRs roll förändrats inom organisationerna. Från att vara enlägre administrativ funktion har HR ökat i betydelse och anses idag vara en strategisk resurs,vilket har lett till att begreppet SHRM myntats. Inom SHRM återfinns rekrytering, hanteringav humankapitalet och bevarande aktiviteter. Fokus bör ligga på bevarandet av nyckelmedarbetaresom är viktiga för organisationens konkurrenskraft på arbetsmarknaden när det idag tillstor del är arbetstagarens marknad. Syftet med vår studie är att undersöka hur organisationeranvänder HR-funktionen för att locka nyckelmedarbetare att stanna kvar, med fokus på framgångsfaktorer för ett lyckat strategiskt HR-arbete, samt dess påverkan på det psykologiska kontraktet. Vi har använt oss utav kvalitativa intervjuer med tre informanter som ingår i en organisations ledningsgrupp. Materialet har sammanställts och analyserats genom en tolkande ansats där vi med stöd av tidigare forskning identifierat relevanta begrepp som undersökts empiriskt. De slutsatser som vi kan dra om SHRM som arbetssätt är att det krävs kunskap och insikt hos ledningen om vad för potential HR-funktionen har att bidra med till organisationen för att kunna implementera SHRM som arbetssätt. Angående bevarande åtgärder för att behålla nyckelmedarbetare bör organisationer först och främst tillkännage att nyckelmedarbetare finns för att de ska kunna motiveras till att vilja arbeta med bevarande aktiviteter för att behålla dessa. Vi kan även dra slutsatsen att det psykologiska kontraktet bortprioriteras när personalomsättning har blivit en naturlig del av organisationens vardag.
Great changes have occurred in HR over the last few decades. From being a lower, administrativefunction, HR has developed to a strategic resource in, operating in the higher levels of the organization, which has lead to the development of SHRM. Within the field of SHRM we can find recruitment, management of human capital and activities to decrease turnover. Attention should be paid to retain key employees whom are of great importance for creating a competitive advantage for the organization on the labor market. The purpose of this study is to investigate how organizations use the HR-function to increase retention among key employees; focusing on success factors for a strategic HR-work and its effect on the psychological contract. We've used qualitative interviews containing three informants that represent an organizations operational management team. The material has been assembled and analyzed through an interpreting approach where we, supported by theories and previous research, have identified relevant terms that have been investigated empirically. A conclusion regarding SHRM, as a practice, is that it demands a high level of knowledge and insight within the operational management team regarding the diversity of HR and how it can contribute to the organization in order to be implemented within the organization. Regarding activities to decrease turnover to keep key employees, organizations primarily need to signify the existence of key employees to even consider wanting to work with these kinds of activities. Furthermore, we have identified the lack of priority that the psychological contract gets if turnover has become a natural part of the everyday life within the organization.

Abstract:

This thesis reports on a study investigating the role of strategic human resource management (SHRM) within the Indonesian context. This study is significant for two important reasons. The first is that the link between strategy and HR management in Indonesia appears to have excited little interest from researchers, despite that SHRM has a great deal to offer in assisting organizations manage one of their most valuable assets. The second is that greater understanding of this relationship will enable more strategic formulation and implementation of SHRM. The research has three main foci. The first is to examine how Indonesian organizations align their human resource management (HRM) practices to the business or organizational strategies. Second is to explore the factors that link the HR department to the strategic decision process. The third is to identify key determinants of successful implementation of HR strategy. No apparent studies so far provide a clear picture of how strategic HR management is implemented in Indonesian organizations; therefore, a grounded theory methodology was used. Data was collected by interviewing sixty-three HR managers from the industry sectors of hotels, hospitals, agriculture and textile manufacturing. Participants were drawn from eight states across Indonesia. Consistent with grounded research principles, data was analyzed using five stages of coding procedure; –open coding, axial coding, selective coding, conditional matrix, theoretical proposition, as described by Strauss & Corbin (1998). The findings of the study fall into three themes. First, is the approach Indonesian organizations use to align HRM to business or organizational strategies, which usually follows one of two approaches; a best practice or universalistic approach, or a best fit or contingency approach. The best practice perspective confirms a general pattern for managing Indonesian employees and this relates to organizations working within the three following conditions: the organizational process is simple; they have a captive market; and the organization is in a mature life stage. The best fit or contingency domain is adopted by organizations when business or competitive strategy is the major variable for determining the HR strategy. Other factors influencing HR strategy include internal (organizational) and external (environmental) factors such as the organization’s size, structure, life cycle, access to capital, market competition, technological changes, government rules, global changes, economic condition, culture, and the unions. The interactions among these influence HR strategy, either directly or indirectly by influencing the business strategy. In addition, SHRM occurs through an integrative or two-way linkage. The integrative linkage is where the HR department is involved throughout the whole process and included in formulating strategy, decision-making and implementing strategy. In twoway linkage, the HR department participates in formulating and implementing strategy but is not involved in the decision making process. The choice for each approach depends on the fit with the organizational mindset, the organizational structure, and informal strategic decision process. Finally the determinants of HR strategy implementation match the central determinants of credibility, organizational support and the role and skills of the HR professional, as found in Western or international organizations. Understanding which factors are being utilized or adapted offers not only a significant contribution to our knowledge of the strategy – HR link, but will also have significant implications for practice in Indonesia and ample opportunity for further testing of this link.

Abstract:

This study explores the nature of skills forecasting in nuclear decommissioning and that which makes skills forecasting information useful. The study adopts a pragmatic approach using an interpretative, qualitative case study research design and draws on aspects of a critical realist approach to uncover, deconstruct and challenge some ‘norms’ in skills forecasting. The study makes an original contribution to knowledge through the identification of nineteen factors that influence skills forecasting in the nuclear industry. It also generates a baseline of knowledge on the theory and practice of skills forecasting and management through a review of the literature on skills, forecasting, skills forecasting and workforce planning and relevant aspects of public sector management and HRM. The study documents and compares current skills forecasting practice amongst UK site licensed companies and selected supply chain companies. Such research has not previously been conducted in the nuclear decommissioning industry. This answers research questions about why, and how, different groups in the sector perform skills forecasting and how variations in approaches affect the information produced. It also answers research questions about who uses skills forecasting information, and how. Together with a review of current problems with skills information, this contributes to an understanding of what makes skills information useful. The research evidences that while the industry has some common features with other High Reliability Organisations, there are unique dimensions which make this research significant. Some ‘norms’ operating in skills forecasting were challenged including how it is being used, eg as an agent for change by some groups, and assumptions about the potential availability of skills from the supply chain. The literature review was used to construct a practical-ideal type, an approach derived from classical pragmatism offering a version of a nearly ideal process, on the understanding that this is socially constructed and subject to continual change. Existing practice is evaluated against this practical-ideal type in a unique application of this methodology in the nuclear decommissioning context.
