Item description from seller

This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -In a global energy sector characterised by market uncertainty, workforce transformation, sustainability expectations and competition for specialist talent, Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) is critical to organisational capability and long-term performance. This study critically examined how SHRM contributed to workforce capability and organisational performance at Royal Dutch Shell during 2020-2021. Shell operated within a complex international environment shaped by technical demands, commercial pressures, regulatory obligations, stakeholder expectations and the transition to a lower-carbon energy system. Shell needed to attract, develop, engage, retain and ethically lead a skilled, diverse and adaptable workforce while maintaining safety, accountability and operational resilience. The study adopted a qualitative, desk-based case-study methodology based on Shell's corporate and sustainability reports, academic literature and professional HRM sources. The analysis applied SHRM theory, Ulrich's Strategic HR Model, Human Capital Theory, employee-engagement perspectives, Stakeholder Theory and Lewin's three-stage change model. It found that Shell's HRM effectiveness depended on integrating workforce planning, talent development, performance management, reward, employee relations, diversity and inclusion, safety, ethics and organisational change. Although women represented 27.8% of senior leadership at the end of 2020, challenges remained in converting diversity commitments into broader inclusion, progression and accountability. The study identified four key tensions: global consistency versus local responsiveness; diversity commitments versus measurable inclusion outcomes; short-term financial incentives versus long term safety, ethics and wellbeing; and global SHRM theory versus fragile-state application. Findings were applied to a hypothetical Shell branch office in Yemen. The study proposed an integrated framework centred on local talent development, knowledge transfer, structured induction, continuous learning, inclusive leadership, stakeholder engagement, transparent communication, balanced performance measures and robust governance. The study concluded that sustainable performance depends on connecting people, purpose and measurable results.Reviewed and Expanded Edition 124 pp. Englisch.…
