Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to reveal the necessary human resource management (HRM) teamwork processes for achieving HRM integration.
Design/methodology/approach
A research survey was carried out among 233 HRM professionals from 29 HRM teams.
Findings
The findings revealed significant correlation between formal HRM aspects of HRM teams (HRM goals and strategy, formal communication and formalization) and informal HRM aspects (perceived proximity and trust). Another significant correlation was found between trust and HRM integration. Also, trust fully mediated the relationship between informal communication and centralization, on the one hand, and HRM integration, on the other.
Originality/value
The study contributed to the understanding of formal and informal aspects of HRM team (HRMT) processes.
