HRM Systeme können mit unterschiedlichen Strategien erforscht werden. Der Artikel vergleicht verschiedene Strategien wie Skalen, Indikatoren, aber auch Cluster-Analyse und strukturelle Gleichungssysteme. Anhand eines Beispiels wird gezeigt, welche Auswirkungen die Forschungsstrategie auf die Ergebnisse hat. Der Artikel endet mit ein paar Empfehlungen zur Methodenwahl für die Forschung.
Abstract:
There are different analytical strategies in HRM systems research to assess the interrelationships between HRM practices. This article directly compares the results of different empirical approaches, and therewith continues and advances the discussion on the analysis of HRM systems, particularly by focusing on specific aspects in methodology (e.g. the differences between reflective and formative measurement models; the equifinality issue) and practical implications. Using an illustrative case on the relationships between high-performance work practices and employee performance, I show that the choice for a specific analytical strategy should not be made lightly, since each such strategy reflects very different assumptions about the nature of HRM systems. I address scales and indices as the most commonly used strategies, but also alternative approaches, i.e. analyses on less aggregated levels, cluster analysis, and structural equation modeling. Building on my discussion and illustration, I make recommendations that could help researchers in their methodological choices.
