Abstract

Skill-based human resource management has many advantages over the job-based approach, and can provide firms with a new source of competitive advantage. Edward Lawler and Gerald Ledford explore all aspects of this emerging new model of HRM and, in particular, review the strategic, structural and cultural conditions in organizations which favour its implementation. Modern economies are giving rise to an environment in which these conditions are flourishing and hence skill-based HRM seems more relevant. As leading firms adopt the model and gain in competitive advantage, others will be obliged to follow.
