Which executive human resource management practices for the top management team are associated with higher firm performance?
Article Abstract:
The importance and role of the top management team (TMT) is increasingly being recognized. Unfortunately, most studies on human resource management (HRM) practices have primarily concentrated on lower level personnel, resulting in scant knowledge about how the TMT should be managed by HRM professionals. To right this imbalance, a study of TMT in firms with affiliation with Fortune 500 companies is conducted. This study aims to determine the influence of 18 Executive HRM (EHRM) practices on organizational performance. EHRM practices identified to have a positive effect are staffing practices that favor those with innovative and creative characteristics, compensation practices that emphasize market-competitive compensation, and performance appraisal practices that use multiple objective and subjective criteria and that emphasize utilization of apppraisal results.

Career development and participation at work: time for mating?
Article Abstract:
Career development and participation at work ventures, although jointly inspired by the humanistic ethic, have grown as separate streams of inquiry due to their distinct responses to economic, technological, hierarchical, and systems imperatives. An argument for greater collaboration, or mating is presented, in which various imperatives would be redefined as shared objects for further study. This proposal is supported by a set of diagnostic questions, and is illustrated by comparisons between 'Knowledge for Pay' and 'Pay for Knowledge' human resources management initiatives. The mating principle might also apply to other human resources management efforts.
