Department of Management & Marketing & Human Resource Research Centre (HRRC) host a lunchtime seminar featuring Dr Stephen Kilroy from Tilburg University, Netherlands,

Assistant Professor of Human Resource Studies, Dr Stephen Kilroy will present his research paper entitled, ‘Understanding when high-performance work systems impact employee and organizational outcomes: A test of individual, job role, and organizational factors’

Abstract

Research exploring the relationship between strategic human resource management (SHRM) practices and performance has become ubiquitous over the past few decades. While the research shows that HRM is largely beneficial for performance, the role of well-being in the HRM-performance relationship is more contentious and we are still not fully clear under what conditions HRM practices are more or less likely to improve employee and organizational outcomes.

In this seminar, Steven will present a series of studies which tackle the question of when HRM is more or less likely to lead to positive employee and/or organizational outcomes. The contingencies examined pertain to the individual, their job role and other organizational strategies which are often employed alongside SHRM practices.
