PurposeSHRM is facing potential theoretical challenge in terms of unveiling “black box” mystery lies between logical and strategic application of SHRM and its impact on organizational effectiveness. To explore the gap between HR contribution and competitive advantage gained by the organizations, a viable mediating framework is needed in SHRM.Design/Methodology/ApproachIn the awake of rising world interest in SHRM, this paper aimed to analyze the scholarly works on SHRM those offer to stimulate mechanisms and configurations through which SHRM can serve to improve organizational effectiveness. Outcome of the debate is likely to use in future empirical research.FindingsOrganization needs to distinguish itself in performance and strategy from the other organizations. Improvement in resources helps the organizations to gain competitive advantage. Resource-based view of the firm used as a lens for this study explains that difference in business’s performance is dependent upon resources owned by the business. This study attempts to offer a framework that proposes a strategy to distinguish itself in performance. HRM management set up in an organization gets influenced by HR system, and practices prevalent in the organization, workforce skills, employee level of competence, employee commitment and engagement. An organization cannot remain aloof from the repercussions of extraneous conditions such as political, economic, sociological, technological, legal and environment.Limitations and Future Research DirectionsThis conceptual study is limited to state and status of strategic HRM activities in Pakistani organizations. Future study may conduct empirical research by including employee perceptions as unit of analysis at the province level.Practical Implications The study is of great value to Pakistani organizations to excel on organizational effectiveness to optimize financial performance. This study offers a practical and rudimentary framework to implement desired strategic human resource management to gain organizational effectiveness.Key wordsSHRM, organizational effectiveness, Pakistan, framework

Purpose As strategic human resource management (SHRM) continues to grow as an important issue for organizations, it is imperative to examine all factors that contribute to the success and failure of the organization’s human resources (HR) and strategy implementation. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that organizational culture should be an integral factor when considering SHRM. The authors also present a model for the strategy-culture-SHRM linkage and propositions to guide future research. Design/methodology/approach The authors present a conceptual model proposing organizational culture as a moderator of the relationship between an organization’s strategy and SHRM. Findings In addition to the conceptual model, the authors present a number of testable propositions for determining how firm performance and effectiveness may depend on the linkage between strategy and the utilization of HR as a competitive advantage. Originality/value Currently, there is a lack of research regarding the conceptualization of organizational culture as a moderator between an organization’s strategy and SHRM. We discuss the importance of the alignment of HR both as a source of competitive advantage and an influence on an organization’s strategy. The authors integrate the current research to create arguments for testable propositions and future research directions. The authors also argue that misalignments may occur which may prove detrimental to the organization.

An increasing number of organizations are focusing not only on creating value but also on ethical, social, and environmental perspectives. Traditionally, organizations mostly encompassed corporate social responsibility as their activities only in an economically favorable situation. However, corporate social responsibility can be incorporated in organizations with human resource management as a strategic process to recover and sustain the organization's development. Therefore, the study aims to analyze the relation between corporate social responsibility and human resource management and the role of human resource practices with corporate social responsibility in organizational development. From this standpoint, this study provides a systematic review of the concepts of corporate social responsibility, the relation between corporate social responsibility and human resource management, and their effect on the organization's success. Fifty-six articles published during 2004–2020 are selected for review from a descriptive and content perspective to propose a future research direction on a selected topic. The findings of the reviewed literature indicated that a triple bottom line (economic, social, and environmental) attainment is essentially a high-level management-driven operation in the absence of employee participation. Besides, this paper described the importance of corporate social responsibility, the linkage between human resource and corporate social responsibility in the organization, and promoting corporate social responsibility to the organizations and various stakeholders. Finally, this study asserted the connection between these two concepts and inquired management to treat the link as a strategic business decision to control the organization's human capital.

A decade after key theoretical developments in strategic human resource management (SHRM) in nonprofit organizations (NPOs), we still lack a comprehensive understanding of the disparate strands of empirical evidence. Furthermore, this growing field requires integration and synthesis of new themes and conceptual developments. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review of SHRM studies in NPOs published between 2008 and 2017. Our review of 74 articles synthesizes a fragmented body of research and maps out the relationships into a more integrated whole. By mapping the research landscape, we provide insights into the tensions NPOs face between external pressures and values, highlighting the underexplored role of managerial discretion in shaping NPOs’ differing responses. Our review expands the resource orientation to include a social capital dimension and identifies new empirical manifestations of human resource management (HRM) types. We offer avenues for research on content, process, outcomes of SHRM, and discuss how the interplay across key themes can inform the development of the field.
