Employee Perceptions of HRM and its Relationship with Employee Well-being and Performance

Abstract

Thus far, the empirical evidence about the role of employees in the relationship between human resource management (HRM) and employee and organizational outcomes, shows that it is the perceived human resource (HR) practices by employees rather than the implemented HR practices as rated by managers that have a more direct influence on employees’ behavior and outcomes. Despite the importance given to employees as key recipients of HRM, we still have a limited understanding of what factors explain and influence employee perceptions of HRM and how they impact employee well-being and performance. Accordingly, the papers in this symposium aim to shed light on (a) the role of employees in influencing their own perceptions of HRM, (b) other factors that influence employee perceptions of HRM, and (c) the processes through which employee perceptions of HRM impact employee well-being (trade-offs) and team effectiveness.
