PRINCIPLES OF STRATEGIC HRM

Strategic HRM supplies a perspective on the way in which critical issues or
success factors related to people can be addressed, and strategic decisions are made
that have a major and long-term impact on the behaviour and success of the
organization. It is not just concerned with mirroring current conditions or past
practices (Smith, 1982). As a means of developing integrated HR strategies,
strategic HRM is facilitated to the extent to which the following seven principles
set out by Ondrack and Nininger (1984) are followed:
1. There is an overall purpose and the human resource dimensions of that purpose
are evident.
2. A process of developing strategy within the organization exists and is
understood, and there is explicit consideration of human resource dimensions.
3. Effective linkages exist on a continuing basis to ensure the integration of human
resource considerations with the organizational decision-making process.
4. The office of the chief executive provides the challenge for integrating human
resource considerations to meet the needs of the business.
5. The organization of all levels establishes responsibility and accountability for
human resource management.
6. Initiatives in the management of human resources are relevant to the needs of
the business.
7. It includes the responsibility to identify and interact in the social, political,
technological and economic environments in which the organization is and will be
doing business.
