Abstract

The article identified two human resource (HR) configurations -- knowledge-based and commitment-based HR configurations -- which would particularly improve performance of knowledge-intensive organizations. The different mechanisms of their effects on organizational performance will be discussed. We argue that knowledge-based HR configuration will directly enhance the intellectual capital, which in turn affects organizational performance; whereas commitment-based HR configuration will influence organizational performance through improving employees¡¯ commitment to organization and lowering the rates of turnover and absenteeism. The model about the relationship of the two HR configurations (complementary vs. contradictory) is also proposed.
