Understanding HRM–Firm Performance Linkages: The Role of the “Strength” of the HRM System
提出“HRM系统强度”这一概念，描述其如何通过塑造强组织氛围，使员工对期望行为形成共同理解，从而解释HRM与企业绩效之间的中间联系。
Theory building has lagged on the intermediate linkages responsible for the relationship between HRM and firm performance. We introduce the construct “strength of the HRM system” and describe the meta-features of an HRM system that result in a strong organizational climate, analogous to Mischel's “strong situation,” in which individuals share a common interpretation of what behaviors are expected and rewarded. The strength of the HRM system can help explain how individual employee attributes accumulate to affect organizational effectiveness.
