Abstract

Over the recent decades, organizations have had to face a number of major external shocks and crises. Acquiring a better understanding of how human resources are managed under such critical conditions constitutes the main purpose of this study. We conducted a study triangulating different sources (employees, HR managers, and secondary data) and types of data (quantitative and qualitative) to explore how employees in Portuguese organizations perceived the HR practices' implementation during the years of the financial crisis (2011–2014) and how HR managers explained it. Longitudinal evidence from 53 organizations attests to perceived decreasing trends, particularly in training and development and performance management. HR managers legitimize these trends, embracing conventions and revealing the impact of coercive and normative pressures. Our findings highlight the need for renewed attention to be paid to the contextual pressures on HR managers' decision-making and actions that could severely endanger their role as strategic partners and their embrace of sustainable HRM.

葡萄牙金融危机期间的高承诺人力资源管理实践:员工和人力资源视角
近几十年来,各组织不得不面对一些重大的外部冲击和危机。本研究的主要目的是更好地了解在这种危急情况下如何管理人力资源。我们对不同来源(员工、人力资源经理和二手数据)和不同类型(定量和定性)的数据进行了三角测量,以探讨葡萄牙各组织的员工如何看待金融危机期间(2011-2014 年)人力资源实践的实施情况,以及人力资源经理如何对此进行解释。来自 53 家组织的纵向证据证明,员工认为人力资源实践呈下降趋势,尤其是在培训与发展和绩效管理方面。人力资源管理者将这些趋势合法化,拥护传统,并揭示了强制性和规范性压力的影响。我们的研究结果突出表明,有必要重新关注人力资源管理人员决策和行动所面临的环境压力,这些压力可能会严重危及他们作为战略合作伙伴的作用以及他们对可持续人力资源管理的拥护。
