Measuring HRM and organisational performance: concepts, issues, and framework

purpose-The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of the HRM and Organizational performance(OP)nexus by drawing attention to the complex interplay of internal and to further provide an integrated framework for the testing of this nexus.
Design/ methodology/approach-Relevant literature is reviewed and assessed critically.A theoretical framework is provided with the objective to measure the HRM-OP nexus.
Findings-Whlist the majority of the extent literature on HRM has focused mainly on internal factors,the authors suggest that the domain of the internal factors considered thus far needs to be widened and external factors need to be acknowledged explicitly
Research limitations/implications-The suggested framework is theoretical pending empirical testing.The framework can serve as a template for future research.
Practical implications-The framework can be put into a universally testable template for use by researchers.
Originality/value-The paper,for the first time, schematically bings together and discusses the elements affecting the HRM-OP nexus.
