An Implementation-Based Approach to SHRM : the Concept of HR Practice Intensity and its Relationship to Individual Performance
The present work intends to open new avenues for research under this implementation-based approach. In an exploratory analysis, we propose and test a type of measure, the intensity of HR practices implementation at the individual level, that has been barely used in the HRM-performance literature (Boselie et al, 2005; Paauwe and Boselie, 2005; Dorenbosch and Van Veldhoven, 2006). To this purpose, we work over the complete ERP-based datasets of two companies from different industries (banking and IT) which comprise the quantification of the impact of a set of HR practices on an individual employee level. In order to characterize this measure we have defined intensity (using the label as discussed by Boselie et al (2005)) as an operationalization of the implementation of the specific practices over employees. Our findings show that relevant variability differences exist at the implementation level across companies that might suggest to reconsider the interpretation of results when studies at higher levels of analysis are performed
