Although empirical research about strategic human resource management and firm performance are very rich, there are many inconsistent results. Based on resource-based theory, this paper did empirical research on the relationship between strategic human resource management and firm performance with survey on154companies in Nantong Tongzhou District, focusing on two dimensions of strategic human resource management-internal fit and external fit, studying their role in promoting performance. Also the moderation effects of dysfunctional competition and institutional support were examined. The results showed that internal and external fit significantly promoted firm performance; dysfunctional competition negatively moderated the relationship between performance and strategic human resource management, while institutional support positively moderated the relationship between performance and strategic human resource management.First of all, the related literature of the strategic human resource management and firm performance were reviewed. Secondly, based on the literature summary, this paper tried to build the relationship model between strategic human resource management, dysfunctional competition; institutional support and firm performance. Finally, with154valid questionnaires, this paper tested the above relationship, discussed the test results, and further clarified significance of this study in the theory and practice. |
