Abstract

This study examines distinct and unique methods of entrepreneurship in terms of organizing, managing, and recruiting human resources within an organization or enterprise. It is complemented by the ever-increasing volume of entrepreneurial literature through a systematic review of the literature that analyzes the link between the practice of human resource management and entrepreneurship. This study analyzes the theoretical framework that underlies the relationship between entrepreneurship and human resource management. The research establishes the strategic management of human resources as an entrepreneurial strategy with which employees are seen as essential tools for the full fulfillment of the objectives set at the organizational level. It can be summarized that with the establishment of a new company or through the continuity of an already existing company with relatively limited resources, entrepreneurship and the role of an entrepreneur become an essential management function in terms of development and selection personal skills, competences and capabilities of human resources. In conclusion, organizations are encouraged to encourage the role of entrepreneurship in human resource management to stimulate innovation, drive change and achieve continuous improvement.
