MICRO AND MACRO PERFORMANCE IN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT: CALLING FOR FUTURE RESEARCH AGENDA
Keywords:
Human Resource Management Practices, Multilevel Performance, Research AgendaAbstract
Organizations value their human capital as a source of competitive advantage which leads to influential studies in the field of human resource management (HRM). Existing literature often focuses on either micro perspectives or macro perspectives, proven by the empirical studies, but little focus being emphasised on both perspectives simultaneously. This indicates a noteworthy gap to be explored further in relation to HRM effects on multi-level organization performance. There is still lack of empirical evidence on how employee’s performance (micro perspective) and productivity affect not only overall team performance (intermediate perspective) but also organizational performances as a whole (macro perspective). In view of this, the proposed study seeks to provide analysis which would assist towards a better understanding of how HRM practices and multilevel organizational performance framework. The study will focus on content analysis based on existing literature on HRM practices and its relationship with employee, team and/or organization’s outcomes; as well as multilevel studies in the field of human resource. The articles are obtained from various online sources using the keyword Human Resource Management Practices (HRMP), HRMP and organizational performance, HRMP, and team performance, HRMP, and employee performance, HRMP, and macro level performance and HRMP and micro level performance. Based on this analysis, often HRMP linked with organizational performance followed by the employee and team performance. Hence, we provide future research agendas which could be explored more by researchers in the field of multilevel human capital performance outcomes since there is still a gap of literature in this topic.
