| dc.description.abstract |
Drawing on the theoretical insights from the resource-based view of
strategic management, this article explores the potential of human
resource systems to facilitate or inhibit the development and utiliza-
tion of organizational competencies. These competencies-
managerial, input-based, transformational, and output-based- are
presumed to yield sustained competitive advantage for a firm. The
competency-based perspective, by focusing attention on the HR ac-
tivities, functions, and processes that enhance or impede competency
accumulation and exploitation, complements the behavioral perspec-
tive (Schuler & Jackson, 1987) and, thus, potentially enhances the un-
derstanding of strategic human resource management. |
