Abstract

Human resource management (HRM) represents a key managerial function and one of the most important directions for intra-organizational investments. Strategic HRM research has developed a consensus that the focus should be on HRM systems rather than individual HRM practices. The concept of HRM systems allowed scholars to investigate various performance-effects of organizational HRM efforts. However, current strategic HRM literature still struggles to build robust conclusions on how HRM systems really work.

Most importantly, there is relatively little known about the mechanisms that link HRM systems and various organization-level outcomes, especially in the context of knowledge-intensive industries, where HRM plays a strategic role in orchestrating knowledge resources.

In the main empirical research we analyzed survey data on 217 knowledge-intensive firms operating in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The findings shed light on the characteristics of HRM systems and their relationship with intellectual capital in knowledge-intensive firms.
