Strategic human resource management and the decline of employee focus |
Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to critique the shift from employee focus to strategy focus in the role of
HRM. It is our contention that, contrary to assumptions of unitarism, organizational goals and
employee goals remain largely in conflict. We conceptualize unitarism at three levels – normative,
conceptual, and empirical – in order to explain the disparity between strategic HRM's rhetorical
promotion of unity of organizational and employee goals and actual HRM practice of privileging
strategic interests over employee interests. We analyze responses to a national survey of the
membership of the professional body of theAustralianHuman Resources Institute (AHRI) to illustrate
how HRM professionals prioritize competing strategic and employee foci, finding support for the
argument that HRM professionals have made the shift to a strategic mindset. In so doing, HRM
professionals have marginalized employee-focused HRM responsibilities and ethics activities. We
discuss the implications of the decline in employee focus within HRM and suggest further areas of
research development. |
