Review:
`Paauwe's pathbreaking book, HRM and Performance should be requisite reading for anyone interested in HRM, academics and practitioners alike.'
Karen Legge, Professor of Organisational Behaviour, Warwick Business School
`Professor Paauwe skillfully builds on previous theory and evidence, new case study work, and his own long experience in the field, to fashion a unique theory of HRM and a new set of metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of HRM in practice. His book is should be read by anyone with a serious
interest in the practice or study of HRM.'
Barry Gerhart, Professor of Management and Human Resources, The University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Business
`Professor Paawe starts with a simple premise: It's high time HR scholars in various countries and from various perspectives began talking with rather than around each other. To foster this dialogue, he crafts a contextually based human resource theory woven, in a remarkably comprehensive and
integrative fashion, from threads of richly diverse literatures. Then, to drive the point home, he puts the theory to work, illustrating in refreshingly clear terms how it can and should be used to enhance both the study and practice of HR in the years to come. The result is a real
paradigm-buster...
'
Lee Dyer, Professor of Human Resource Studies, Center for Advanced Human Resource Studies, ILR School, Cornell University
`This is a welcome book that challenges many of the dominant assumptions in the burgeoning literature on HRM and performance... in seeking to break out of the shackles of [the] dominant paradigm, Paauwe has provided a highly challenging and deeply rewarding and distinctive approach to the
complex subject of HRM and performance.'
