PurposeThis study aims to understand the role of employee competencies in terms of the relationship between Human Resource Practices (HRPs) and firm performance.Design/methodology/approachA sample of 60 HR managers and 546 employees from large-scale food processing firms were considered for the study. The study presents a 2-1-2 multilevel mediational analysis in which HRPs and firm performance are measured at the firm level (Level-2) and employee competencies are measured at employee level (Level-1).FindingsPositive relationship was found between HRPs and firm performance, which was partially mediated by employee competencies.Practical implicationsThe study highlights the importance of employee-related factors by focusing on the wider dimensions of human capital (e.g. academic qualification, job experience) in HRPs–performance relationship.Originality/valueThe study undertakes a 2-1-2 multilevel mediational analysis, which is rarely applied in HRM studies; however, this interaction between macro- and microlevel effects will create a better understanding of organization studies from an integrated and multilevel context.

La dirección estratégica de recursos humanos enfatiza la influencia de las prácticas de recursos humanos de alto compromiso sobre la eficacia organizativa. El objetivo de este trabajo es contrastar como el empleo de un conjunto de prácticas de recursos humanos de alto compromiso en el seno de una organización influye positivamente en los resultados que ésta consigue. Para ello, se dispone de una muestra de 258 empresas manufactureras españolas. Los resultados apuntan que la utilización de dichas prácticas de recursos humanos tiene un impacto positivo sobre los rendimientos corporativos. De esta forma, este trabajo aporta evidencia empírica para la relación entre las prácticas de recursos humanos de alto compromiso consideradas de forma global y el rendimiento organizativo para el caso de una gran muestra de empresas españolas pertenecientes a todos los sectores de actividad industrial, lo cual supone una avance importante en la investigación sobre recursos humanos en España donde existe una laguna importante de trabajos empíricos que aborden esta cuestión.<br /><br />Strategic human resource management highlights the influence of the high commitment human resource practices on firm performance. The aim of this study is to analyse how the use of high commitment human resources practices influences, in a positive way, on the firm performance. For this purpose, a sample of 258 Spanish manufacturing companies has been used. The results indicate that the use of the raid human resources practices have a positive impact on corporate performance. In this way, the main implication of this study is that provides empirical evidence for Spanish firms of the relationship between high involvement human resource practices and performance. This represents a significant advance in human resources research in Spain, where there is a significant gap in empirical work studying this subject.<br />

Performance Results

The components of human resource (HR) flexibility and their potential relationship to firm performance have not been empirically examined. The authors hypothesize that flexibility of employee skills, employee behaviors, and HR practices represent critical subdimensions of HR flexibility and are related to superior firm performance. Results based on perceptual measures of HR flexibility and accounting measures of firm performance support this prediction. Whereas skill, behavior, and HR practice flexibility are significantly associated with an index of firm financial performance, the authors find that only skill flexibility contributes to cost-efficiency.

The Relationship

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between high commitment human resource practices (HCHRPs), conceptualized at the workplace level and employees’ attitudes, including affective commitment (AC) and turnover intention (TI). The study also tests the moderating role of cooperative labor–management relations (CLMR) between HCHRPs and organizational trust (OT). Design/methodology/approach Based on social exchange theory and trust commitment theory, the authors build a research model that explains employee behavior and empirically prove the model by using samples of 407 employees from South Korea. This study uses hierarchical linear regression and cross-level hypotheses based on hierarchical linear modeling. Findings The results demonstrate the positive impact of HCHRPs on an AC and TI, through OT. However, no moderating effect of CLMR between human resource management (HRM) practices and OT is observed. Originality/value Few theory-based studies test the direct linkage between HRM practices and outcomes. This study is designed with a multi-level research method to provide a conceptually comprehensive and deeper understanding of how HRM practices work in an organization by testing the relationship between organizational practices and employees’ outcomes.
