Formal Human Resource Management Practices in Small Growing Firms*
利用澳大利亚中小微企业数据，研究了企业规模增长如何推动人力资源管理实践从非正式向正式转变，发现这一转变在成长早期就已开始且速度较快，而管理层的正式化滞后于操作层。
Using data from micro, small, and medium firms in Australia, the paper exams changes with size toward more enunciated and prescribed practices; (2) the changes in HRM in small and medium-sized firms begin early in the growth process and proceed at a faster rate than during the latter growth phase; and (3) the adoption of formal HRM practices at the managerial level lags behind that at the operational level at the smaller firm sizes.
