본문내용

Human resource management (HRM) had been regarded as a simple labelling of personal management. Nowadays, however, HRM denotes a more strategic approach, under the premise that people can provide organisations with ultimate source of competitive advantage (Pfeffer, 1998; Youndt et al, 1996; Sisson and Storey, 2000). In this perspective, there has been a growing interest in research on the association between HRM and organisational performance. Many studies have asserted that particular HR practices directly influence the all firms’ performance. This notion is known as best practice or high commitment HRM.

This essay will briefly explore the meaning of best practice or high commitment HR models and draw an attention to the hot argument of its universal perspective, whether it is possible to adopt best practice approach in all types of organisations irrespective of the size, structure, product market position or national context. It is assumed that there will be limitations to apply best practice or high commitment HRM universally because diverse internal and external contexts affect the implementation of HR practices.
