Deploying strategic human resource management approaches to raise organizational performance: The impact of building a creative workplace climate

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

This conceptual paper concentrates on so-called universalistic and contingency approaches to strategic HR management, both of which were found to boost organizational performance. The universalistic approach applies general HR best practices, whereas a contingency approach is tailored to the company's own operational atmosphere. Finally, the study advocates that manifesting a creative climate yields a higher performing workplace.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
