Abstract
ABSTRACT: This study examines determinants of professional HRM practices within a sample of approximately 700 small- to medium-sized firms. Predictions from agency theory and the resource based view of organizations lead to alternate hypotheses regarding the direct and indirect negative effects of family ownership and management on the usage of professional HRM practices. Results support predictions for both direct and indirect effects, thus lending partial support to both theories. Organization complexity variables that also predict professional HRM practices (and that may explain some of the indirect effects) include firm size, (presence of a) formal business plan, export strategy and HRM specialization.
