Abstract

Bowen and Ostroff (2004), conceptualizes the dimensions for various features of SHRS underpinning Attribution Theory (Fiske & Taylor, 1991). Three features of an HRM system namely distinctiveness, consistency, and consensus build a strong HRM system. Despite wide recognition of this generic road map to evaluate SHRS, the development of measures for these nine features remains a challenge. The utility of this generic model is practically possible only after this issue is covered. That is why Liao et al., (2009: 385) propose that, “a concerted effort to assess the effects of these nine features may represent a promising avenue for future research.” Qadeer (2010) is the first to propose a measurement construct for the concept of strength of HRM system (SHRS) as theorized by Bowen and Ostroff (2004). Latter, Delmotte et al., (2012) again relying on the work of Bowen and Ostroff empirically validates measures of some of the features of SHRS. SHRS-Questionnaire is based on the works of both these efforts.
