The Impact Of Strategic Human Resource Management (Shrm) On Organizational Performance: Mediating Role Of It Infrastructure

Abstract

Current research study was carried out as an approach to examine the mediating effect of IT infrastructure on the relationship between strategic human resource management (SHRM) (Compensation planning, Recruitment, Succession planning, and Employee development) and organizational performance. Quantitative approach was adopted and an online questionnaire was filled by a convenient sample of (193) human resource managers in chemical and pharmaceutical industries organizations in Jordan. SPSS was used in order to screen and analyze gathered primary data; results of study accepted the hypothesis arguing that strategic human resource management has the ability to influence organizational performance through the mediating influence of IT infrastructure, what is meant by that is SHRM is stronger and more able to perform its tasks with a well-built IT base in the organization which can lead to better managing of employees, and as a results better performance of employees which in its turn helps in increasing the efficiency of organizational performance. Study recommended implementing a human resource management system that is effective and efficient and able to track employee performance and provide feedback. Originality of current research lies in the fact that strategic human resource management effect on organizational performance varies depending on the specific organization and its specific needs. However, some key factors that may influence the impact of HRM on organizational performance include the extent to which SHRM is integrated into the overall business strategy, the extent to which SHRM is focused on developing and managing talent in a cost-effective way and the extent to which HRM is aligned with the company's overall mission and vision.
