Abstract

Purpose: This study examines whether high involvement work programs (HIWP) are included in, and respond to, the priorities of HR managers in organizations. We analyze reports to identify the main concerns for managers, and compare the solutions implemented to address them, to evaluate the extent to which HIWP are adopted to meet these challenges.Design/methodology/approach: To conduct this study we carried out a systematic literature review, selecting reports by consulting firms and human resource management associations.Findings: Our key findings from this research suggest that HIWP are used as a lever for change to meet the challenges faced by HR managers in organizations, the most urgent of which are talent management and improving leadership.Research limitations/implications: The paper identifies possible lines of research that respond specifically to the interests of the professional ambit and would be better appreciated by HR managers in companiesPractical implications: The issues raised are relevant to HR professionals, allowing them to compare their priorities against those of managers occupying similar positions, and to view a selection of the most commonly used programs to solve priority problems. This enables HRMs to plan ahead and prepare by providing them with an overview of the most important challenges they have to face.Originality/value: On the one hand in the professional arena, as they provide professionals with an overview of the challenges they face, so they can plan optimal HR management programs, work methods geared and identify improvement opportunities. And on the other hand, in the academic sphere, our study opens possible future research lines that may contribute to the development of the profession, identify research lines that genuinely address the concerns of professionals and could help reduce the gap that some researchers have identified between the academic and professional spheres.

组织中人力资源经理的主要关注点是什么?

目的:本研究旨在探讨高介入工作计划(HIWP)是否包含在组织人力资源经理的优先事项中，并对其作出反应。我们分析报告以确定管理人员的主要关注点，并比较为解决这些问题而实施的解决方案，以评估采用HIWP来应对这些挑战的程度。设计/方法/方法:为了进行这项研究，我们进行了系统的文献综述，选择了咨询公司和人力资源管理协会的报告。研究结果:本研究的主要发现表明，高绩效工作计划被用作变革的杠杆，以应对组织中人力资源经理面临的挑战，其中最紧迫的是人才管理和改善领导力。研究局限/启示:本文确定了可能的研究路线，这些研究路线专门针对专业领域的兴趣作出反应，并且会更好地受到公司人力资源经理的赞赏。实际启示:提出的问题与人力资源专业人员有关，使他们能够将自己的优先事项与占据类似职位的经理进行比较，并查看最常用的程序选择，以解决优先问题。这使人力资源管理人员能够通过向他们提供他们必须面对的最重要挑战的概述来提前计划和准备。原创性/价值:一方面，在专业领域，因为他们为专业人士提供了他们所面临的挑战的概述，所以他们可以计划最佳的人力资源管理计划，工作方法调整和识别改进机会。另一方面，在学术领域，我们的研究开辟了可能的未来研究路线，可能有助于专业的发展，确定真正解决专业人士关注的研究路线，并有助于缩小一些研究人员在学术和专业领域之间发现的差距。

期刊介绍： The aim of Intangible Capital is to publish theoretical and empirical articles that contribute to contrast, extend and build theories that contribute to advance our understanding of phenomena related with management, and the management of intangibles, in organizations, from the perspectives of strategic management, human resource management, psychology, education, IT, supply chain management and accounting. The scientific research in management is grounded on theories developed from perspectives taken from a diversity of social sciences. Intangible Capital is open to publish articles that, from sociology, psychology, economics and industrial organization contribute to the scientific development of management and organizational science. Intangible Capital publishes scholar articles that contribute to contrast existing theories, or to build new theoretical approaches. The contributions can adopt confirmatory (quantitative) or explanatory (mainly qualitative) methodological approaches. Theoretical essays that enhance the building or extension of theoretical approaches are also welcome. Intangible Capital selects the articles to be published with a double bind, peer review system, following the practices of good scholarly journals. Intangible Capital publishes three regular issues per year following an open access policy. On-line publication allows to reduce publishing costs, and to make more agile the process of reviewing and edition. Intangible Capital defends that open access publishing fosters the advance of scientific knowledge, making it available to everyone. Intangible Capital publishes articles in English, Spanish and Catalan.
