Refinement and validation of a comprehensive scale for measuring HR practices aimed at performance-enhancement and employee-support

The purpose of this paper is to refine and validate a Human Resource practices (HRP) scale to measure employees' perceptions and test a two-tier model structured in eight practices and two bundles. In a sample of 554 employees, an EFA (Exploratory Factor Analysis) offered six factors that explained about 70% of the variance. Then, with 1647 employees (from 41 Spanish organizations), first- and second-order models were tested with Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The former encompasses eight practices. The latter grouped the practices in two bundles, one on enhancing performance and the other on supporting employees. The Cronbach's alpha, Rho coefficient (Composite Reliability Coefficient), Omega coefficient, and Spearman-Brown split half coefficient showed good reliability. Validity evidence was found for construct, criterion, convergent, content, discriminant, and predictive validity. Moreover, the paper integrates different ways of approaching the study of HR management based on employees' perceptions, using a two-tier approach. The two-bundle model showed better fit, pointing out the importance of paying attention to multiple outcomes for employees and organizations. The study makes a relevant theoretical contribution about the role and aims of HRM practices for organizational success and employees' performance and well-being.

知识经济的兴起标志着人类社会正在步入一个以知识资源为依托的经济时代里。在这样的时代里,智力资源成为企业可持续发展的第一资源。人力资源管理有向资本化、战略化、人本化和虚拟化发展的趋势,企业对智力资源的管理自然也成为其人力资源管理的重要内容。使企业的知识得以传播、共享、积累与创新,进而提高企业的技术创新能力。智力资源管理对企业技术创新的作用已经日渐明显,已成为中国企业人力资源管理领域的新发展。     

What drives alignment between offered and perceived well-being initiatives in organizations? A cross-case analysis of employer–employee shared strategic intentionality

This study investigates the conditions of alignment between an organization's business strategy and the well-being initiatives (WBIs) offered to employees and employees' perceptions of the latter. We conducted a comparative study on the conditions of alignment between offered and perceived WBIs in three companies with different business strategies. Findings highlight that the alignment between offered and perceived benefits depends on what we label as “shared strategic intentionality”: (1) how employers use their understanding of the organization's business strategy to craft WBIs and (2) employees' attributions about why their employers offer WBIs the way they do and of the broader understanding of the organization's business strategy. We contribute to the strategic HRM literature by proposing an integrative position with regard to the macro (i.e., employer-focused) and micro (i.e., employee-focused) research traditions. Our position has the advantage of looking at employers' intentions and at employees' attributions of intentions simultaneously, and unravels the central role of business strategy in shaping their alignment. From a practical standpoint, not only do we bring a more nuanced understanding of the strategic HRM challenges faced by employers and employees in settings with different business strategies, but we also initiate a discussion about the traps and best practices associated with configuring effective WBIs in organizations.     

西方人力资源管理思想中的系统思维

人力资源管理思想的发展与社会生产力水平是紧密联系的。从其演进历程看 ,虽然西方古人能注重对自然界和人类社会整体性、统一性的认识 ,但由于缺乏对整体各个细节的认识能力 ,所以那时的系统思想必然带有浓厚的猜测和思辨性质。近代机械观也把世界看作一个整体 ,虽然它并不符合系统思想 ,但在对人的管理思想方面 ,仍不乏当今系统思维的光辉。到了现代 ,以泰罗为代表的古典管理理论虽仍有机械论的色彩 ,但已开始注重人性问题。今天 ,与自然科学领域一样 ,系统思维已深入人力资源管理的理论与实践之中     

企业的社会资本、智力资本与核心竞争力

企业的社会资本作为一种资源反映了企业内的社会关系,它为智力资本的开发提供了便利,通过社会资本的结构维度、关系维度和认知维度来影响知识的创造过程,并促使智力资本的结合和交换,以此实现知识在企业内的社会化运动,从而提升企业的核心竞争力。企业要实现这种提升可采用招聘时关注社会资本、布置合适的空间位置、工作轮换和培育实践社团等途径。
