Abstract

Strategic human resources management (HRM) remains one of the most popular and rapidly growing areas of HRM research. In this article, we undertake a selective review of the strategic HRM literature with a particular emphasis on research from the North American context. After outlining the research landscape and areas of consensus and disagreement, we discuss several emerging issues that effective HRM systems must contend with in the future, including technological fluidity, workforce demographic changes and shifting worker values. With an eye toward future research opportunities, we also discuss the broadening of performance outcomes in strategic HRM research and highlight the importance of effectively managing HRM systems for multiple employee groups.
