10. APPROACHES TO STRATEGIC HRM
ā¢ There are five approaches to strategic HRM. These consist of resource-based
strategy, achieving strategic fit, high-performance management, high
commitment management and high-involvement management
ā¢ THE RESOURCE-BASED VIEW
ā¢ The resource-based view was developed by Penrose (1959) and it was further
expanded by Wernerfelt (1984)
ā¢ is to develop strategic capability ā achieving strategic fit between resources and
opportunities and obtaining added value from the effective deployment of
resources.
ā¢ founded on the belief that competitive advantage is obtained if a firm can obtain
and develop human resources that enable it to learn faster and apply its learning
more effectively than its rivals (Hamel and Prahalad, 1989)
ā¢ The sustained competitive advantage of the firms depends upon the unique
capabilities and resources they maintain with them in the competitive business
environment. These resources are knowledge, wisdom, risk-taking capacity and
judgement of the human resources associated with the organisation.
11. Strategic fit Approaches
ā¢ HR strategy should be an integral part of the business strategy, contributing
to the business planning process as it happens.
ā¢ Wright & McMahan (1992) explained that strategic fit is two dimensions:
vertical fit and horizontal fit
ā¢ vertical fit: connects human resource methods with the organization's
strategic procedures
ā¢ horizontal fit: horizontal alignment or synchronization of the various
human resource management techniques.
ā¢ The HR strategy should be aligned to the business strategy (vertical fit)
ā¢ r. The aim is to achieve a coherent approach to managing people in which
the various practices are mutually supportive.
12. High-performance management
ā¢ aims to make an impact on the performance of the firm through its
people in such areas as productivity, quality, levels of customer
service, growth, profits and, ultimately, the delivery of increased
shareholder value
ā¢ High-performance management practices include rigorous
recruitment and selection procedures, extensive and relevant training
and management development activities, incentive pay systems and
performance management processes.
13. High commitment management
ā¢ It is one of the defining characteristic of HRM is its emphasis on the
importance of enhancing mutual commitment (walton,1985)
ā¢ So it is more psychological in nature .The focus is on input to achieve the
desired objectives.
ā¢ Higher Commitment management has been described by wood (1996)as;
A form of management which is aimed to obtained a commitment so that
behavior is primarily self-regulated rather than controlling by sanctions and
pressure external to the individual, and relation with the organization are
based on high levelof trust.
14. High-involvement management
ā¢ This approach involves treating employees as partners in the
enterprise whose interests are respected and who have a voice on
matters that concern them.
ā¢ It is concerned with communication and involvement.
ā¢ The aim is to create a climate in which a continuing dialogue between
managers and the members of their teams takes place in order to
define expectations and share information on the organizationās
mission, values and objectives.
ā¢ This establishes mutual understanding of what is to be achieved and a
framework for managing and developing people to ensure that it will
be achieved.
15. HRM vs SHRM

manpower of the organization in

the capital and products,

organizations goals and
outcomes

in nature

employees is exercised.
SHRM

approach
