  • The Impact of High-Performance Human Resource Practices on Employees’ Attitudes and Behaviors

    Open AccessRebecca R Kehoe, Patrick M WrightARTICLEJournal of Management2013

    Although strategic human resource (HR) management research has established a significant relationship between high-performance HR practices and firm-level financial and market outcomes, few studies have considered the important role of employees’ perceptions of HR practice use or examined the more proximal outcomes of high-performance HR practices that may play mediating roles in the HR practice–performance relationship. To address recent calls i…

  • On living in an old country

    Patrick M Wright, Patrick Wright et al.BOOKOn living in an old country2009

    "The hulk of Henry VIII's flagship is raised from the seabed in an operation that captures the mind of the nation. The leader of the Labour party wears an informal coat at the Cenotaph and provokes a national scandal. An elderly lady whose ancient house is scheduled for demolition dismantles it, piece by piece, and moves it across the country..." "On Living in an Old Country probes such apparently fleeting and disconnected events in order to reve…

  • Corporate Social Responsibility

    Open AccessAbagail Mcwilliams, Donald S Siegel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Management Studies2006

    We describe a variety of perspectives on corporate social responsibility (CSR), which we use to develop a framework for consideration of the strategic implications of CSR. Based on this framework, we propose an agenda for additional theoretical and empirical research on CSR. We then review the papers in this special issue and relate them to the proposed agenda.

  • Human Resource Management and Labor Productivity

    Deepak K Datta, James P Guthrie et al.ARTICLEAcademy of Management Journal2005

    There has been growing interest in the degree to which human resource systems contribute to organizational effectiveness, yet limited research attention has been paid to the contextual conditions that moderate the efficacy of these practices. In this study, we examined how industry characteristics affect the relative importance and value of high-performance work systems. Findings indicate that the impact of these human resources systems on produc…

    Open AccessPatrick M Wright, Benjamin B Dunford et al.ARTICLEJournal of Management2001

    The resource-based view (RBV) of the firm has influenced the field of strategic human resource management (SHRM) in a number of ways. This paper explores the impact of the RBV on the theoretical and empirical development of SHRM. It explores how the fields of strategy and SHRM are beginning to converge around a number of issues, and proposes a number of implications of this convergence.

This article attempts to further the theoretical development of SHRM through discussing six theoretical models (behavioral perspective, cybernetic models, agencyltransaction cost theory, resource-based view of the firm, power/resource dependence models, and institutional theory) that are usefulfor understanding both strategic and non-strat…

  • The structured interview

    Open AccessPatrick M Wright, Philip A Lichtenfels et al.ARTICLEJournal of Occupational Psychology1989

    Hunter & Hunter (1984) recently performed a meta‐analysis on research on the interview for selection purposes and concluded its validity to be 0.14. The structured interview may be a promising alternative to the traditional unstructured interview. A review of structured interview studies is discussed and six additional validations are presented. A meta‐analysis performed on structured interview validities resulted in an estimated validity of 0.39…
