Examining the Human Resource Architecture: The Relationships Among Human Capital, Employment, and Human Resource Configurations
研究了四种雇佣模式下人力资本的战略价值与独特性差异，并发现每种模式对应特定的人力资源配置类型，对HR管理者优化用工策略有参考价值。
In this study we examined the characteristics of human capital as well as the human resource (HR) configurations used for employees in four different employment modes (knowledge-based employment, job-based employment, contract work, and alliance/partnership). Results from 148 firms show that the strategic value and uniqueness of human capital differs across these four employment modes. In addition, each employment mode is associated with a particular type of HR configuration (commitment-based, productivity-based, compliance-based, and collaborative).
