{"product_id":"9780192536006","title":"Strategy, HRM, and Performance: A Contextual Approach","description":"The book expounds the macro-level relationship between strategy, HRM, and performance, addressing important challenges that have constrained research and practice to date. Adopting a critical perspective, the first challenge is a narrow definition of 'performance' that has been largely driven by a managerialist, profit motive, with little regard for the human element.  This book proposes adopting a more balanced approach towards measuring performance, encompassing both organizational financial performance as well as employee well-being. The second challenge is that HRM has largely been considered a universalistic phenomenon, rather than needing to be understood in the context in which an organization is operating. The book puts forward the argument for a more context-centric perspective, culminating in the development of the Contextual Strategic Human Resource Management Framework.  The book emphasizes the importance of strategy, alignment, context, the role of actors, and a holistic conceptualisation of performance. Embedded in all chapters is a focus on achieving an appropriate balance between options, rather than providing a universalistic solution to all human resource management challenges.","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106859106544,"sku":"9780192536006","price":28.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780192536006_p0.jpg?v=1763662192","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780192536006","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
