AN EMPIRICAL STUDY ON FIT BETWEEN STRATEGIC HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS STRATEGY

Abstract

1960s, with the published works of Chandler and Ansoff, strategic research started; 1980s,
study about Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) is of the rise of the best human
resource perspective, contingent perspective and configuration perspective. There are two
views about the relationship between Strategic Human Resources and business strategy: the
contingency scholars think, human resources strategy is determined by the organizational
strategy, organizational strategy and human resource strategy is a one-way relation; and
Resource-based view that organizational strategy and human resources strategy is a two-way
influence relationship. Based on the contingency scholars, this paper explores the path that
the strategic human resources support business strategy, not only to focus on internal and
external matching, but also pay attention to the specific content of match.
