Increasingly, researchers in the field of Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) are being called upon to provide insight into how the human resources of the firm contribute to competitive advantage. This work attempts to assess the complexities of the SHRM variables–SHRM effectiveness relationship by proposing and testing a model in which HR competencies play a mediating role.
