Abstract:
Strategic human resource management (SHRM) has been studied for
over the last 30 years and is highly recognized for its impact to the
organizational performance. Nevertheless the mechanism of its impact still
remain in the discussion within the field. This paper is focused on the
systematic review of literature on theories of SHRM. The objective is to
present the literature review of SHRM studies by explaining the meanings,
and identifying the variables and their relationship related to SHRM. The
conclusion from review shows that variables used in various studies are
business strategy, human resource management system, human resource
outcomes and organizational performance.The human resource outcomes
are found to be the mechanism, which mediates the human resource
management system – organizational performance linkage.
