Human resources management strength : Preliminary measure
Orientador(es)
Resumo(s)
The main goal of this study is to develop and test operational measures of HRM strength. This is a concept presented by Bowen and Ostroff in 2004. The proposed scale included 6 items per each of the nine attributes suggested by theoretical model. This scale was applied, along with a Organisational Climate scale (Brown & Leigh, 1996) and a Organisational Culture scale (adapted from Desphandé, Farley & Webster, 1993), to 117 employees from different organisations, one public and two private ones, all at the same time. The results are analysed related to the psychometric characteristics of the tests used. The HRM Strength scale presented good sensitivity and reliability, but validity results were weak: the factor analysis showed no relation with theoretical model, although the correlation with organisational climate and organisational culture scales was positive and significant. The present HRM Strength scale is not a valid measure of this construct as presented by theoretical model, but this study adds useful information on this regard.
