The theoretical value of understanding HRM’s financial value
评论Joo等人论文的价值，认为其贡献在于用计算建模展示效用分析作为强理论，而非仅证明招聘明星员工的财务回报，并提出了未来研究方向。
Although the paper by Joo et al. (Citation2022) purports to demonstrate the value of acquiring star performers, we argue that the value of their paper lies more in the demonstration of the use of utility analysis as strong theory, implemented with computational modeling. We articulate why we see the Joo et al. (Citation2022) paper contributing to a strong theory about employee value and how its efforts represent more of a theoretical contribution to the star performers, employee value, employee performance, and utility analysis literatures than one simply about the specific returns on investment related to acquiring star employees. Our commentary explains our view of their contribution and develops new questions and directions for future research that this perspective implies.
