AbstractNumerous studies have investigated human resources as a source of sustained competitive advantage, indicating that the high-performance work systems created by certain human resource development and human resource management practices lead to greater firm performance. Though the mechanism by which this link exists remains a ‘black box,’ substantial evidence shows organizations benefit by adopting the human resource development and human resource management practices that lead to high-performance work systems. We discuss two divergent perspectives, institutional theory and resource-based view, and their impact on high-performance work systems. We argue that organizations adhering to tenets of institutional theory experience isomorphism in certain human resource development and human resource management practices, whereas resource-based view attributes create ways that firms differentiate their practices. We posit that to be competitive firms must balance the push–pull effect of institutional pressure with that of resource-based view differentiation.

Although high-performance human resource practices do not directly affect corporate social performance (CSP) strengths, they do positively affect CSP strengths in companies that are highly innovative or have high levels of slack. High-performance human resource management (HRM) practices also directly and negatively affect CSP concerns. Drawing on the resource-based view and using secondary data from an objective, third-party database, the authors develop and test hypotheses about how high-performance HRM affects a company’s CSP strengths and concerns. Findings suggest that HRM and innovation are important capabilities because they create and enhance other capabilities.


The Oxford Handbook of Human Resource Management aims to provide an authoritative account of current trends and developments in Human Resource Management (HRM). HRM is central to management teaching and research, and has emerged in the last decade as a significant field from its earlier roots in personnel management, industrial relations, and industrial psychology. People Management and High Performance teams have become key functions and goals for managers at all levels in organizations. The text is divided into four parts: foundations and frameworks; core processes and functions; patterns and dynamics; and finally measurement and outcomes.

Human resource management (HRM) houdt zich meer en meer bezig met de meerwaarde van medewerkers voor een organisatie, getuige de vele publicaties op het gebied van (strategisch) HRM van de afgelopen tien jaar (Osterman, 1994; Huselid, 1995; Wright en Snell, 1998). Dit artikel geeft een theoretisch overzicht van de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in de afgelopen jaren op het gebied van strategisch management en management control binnen de context van human resource management. Deze input vormt een opmaat voor de discussie omtrent nieuwe vormen van ‘work systems’ in organisaties.
