Abstract

Prior studies supported the theories regarding the relationship between human resource management practices and firm performance. However, a review of extant literature reveals lacking studies in the context of small and medium enterprises. More specifically, the available works of literature are considered still developing and insufficiently studied. Therefore, this paper investigates the relationship between strategic human resource management and SME performance in Sabah, Malaysia. This study adapted Ulrich’s Business Partner Role model as the theoretical support to explain the integration of strategies in human resource management practices. By using the quantitative approach, 260 respondents participated in the study. Findings from the study revealed that regardless of the size of a company, adapting strategic human resource management helps improve firm performance.
