The Effects of Flexibility in Employee Skills, Employee Behaviors, and Human Resource Practices on Firm Performance
研究了人力资源灵活性的三个子维度（员工技能、员工行为、人力资源实践）与企业绩效的关系，发现三者均与财务绩效相关，但只有技能灵活性有助于成本效率。
The components of human resource (HR) flexibility and their potential relationship to firm performance have not been empirically examined. The authors hypothesize that flexibility of employee skills, employee behaviors, and HR practices represent critical subdimensions of HR flexibility and are related to superior firm performance. Results based on perceptual measures of HR flexibility and accounting measures of firm performance support this prediction. Whereas skill, behavior, and HR practice flexibility are significantly associated with an index of firm financial performance, the authors find that only skill flexibility contributes to cost-efficiency.
