Human Resources Management = refers to all managerial attempts to influence employees
ability, motivation and opportunities to perform (Boxall & Purcell, 2008)
● a bundle of interlinked policies and practices that are explicitly targeted at attracting,
retaining, developing and rewarding employees in such a way that it results in
optimal employee and organisation performances (DeArmond, Shaw & Wright, 2009,
Runhaar, 2017)
Sustainable HRM = the ability of a society, an organisation or an individual to maintain,
strengthen and to develop itself (its resources, capital etc.) from within
AMO theory of performance (Appelbaum et al., 2001)
● Performance = Ability, Motivation and Opportunity
● AMOR - R = relationships
Traditional view on HRM - AMO as means to an end (performance, financial gain, market
share etc.)
Sustainable HRM - AMO as goals in themselves
HRM related to performance
Intended HRM = policies
Actual HRM = what is executed by team leaders
Perceived HRM = perception of employees - influences responses and performance
