Veränderungen des Personalmanagements

Abstract

"Increasing competitive pressure, labor shortage and turnover of managers pose challenges to contemporary human resource management. This study employs four waves of the Linked Personnel Panel (LPP) dataset over a time span from 2012 to 2018 to analyze to what extent six different human resource management practices (staffing plan, appraisal interviews, target agreements, employee development plans, performance appraisals, and employee surveys) are related to the three challenges employers are facing. We find a higher likelihood for the existence of target agreements and staff development plans in the subsequent period for establishments exposed to competitive pressure. We find almost no significant relationships between the introduction of human resource management practices and the three different challenges employers are facing. The termination of target agreements and performance appraisals correlates negatively with a change in the management of the establishment in the previous period. Overall, the multivariate regressions in this study reveal significant relationships for some of the human resource management practices analyzed. The relationships investigated in this study are partial correlations that should not be interpreted as causal relationships." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
