It is only in recent years that questions have been asked on the best way to manage employee relations in the light of the firm's strategic requirements, or more searchingly on the extent to which the firm should tailor its business policies to suit human resource dimensions. There is little agreement on the best way to proceed and conflicting evidence on the link between firm strategy, structure and human resource management and outcomes. There is growing evidence on the link between what is called "soft" HRM (increasingly known as High Commitment Management) and organizational performance but an unexplained problem is why so few firms seem to adopt this type of HRM. Part of the explanation is finding the right circumstances for this type of HRM. This module explores the emerging field of human resource management in the light of recent research and contemporary examples of best, and worst practice.
