Organizational behaviour = field of study that investigates the impact that
individuals, groups and structure have on behaviour within organizations, for the
purpose of applying that knowledge towards improving an organization’s
effectiveness. So it studies the impact of different levels on behaviour, and how
to improve performance.
HRM: translation, how to influence behaviour. Sees the employee as resource
that will lead to organizational success. Management of work and people towards
desired ends. Focused on e.g. selection, training, rewarding. HRM management
decisions and practices shape the employment relationship and are aimed at
achieving individual, organizational and societal goals.
Strategic HRM: focusses on the contribution HRM makes towards to success of
the business (organization achieving its goals). It is part of a business strategy.

each other and are interrelated, so should be examined as a bundle. Will lead to
better performance on multiple measures (= internal fit). Each practice will
enhance another.
1. Bundle of practices to enhance empowerment: responsibility, self-
management teams, increasing autonomy, shared decision making
2. To enhance motivation: goal setting, performance feedback, career planning
3. To enhance skills: staffing, training
These bundles can be linked to the AMO model. This gives a theoretical insight
into how to increase ‘extra’ role behaviour, which leads to better performance.
