This document discusses a study examining the impact of strategic human resource management (SHRM) practices on achieving organizational goals in public sector companies in India. It summarizes previous research linking SHRM practices like internal career ladders, formal training, performance appraisals, employment security, employee participation, broad jobs, and performance-based compensation to organizational effectiveness. The study uses survey data from public sector companies in New Delhi to analyze the relationship between perceptions of these SHRM practices and measures of how well organizations achieve their goals and objectives. The results show a weak relationship, with SHRM practices explaining less than 3% of the variance in outcome assessments.
