| Abstract: | Using the Miles and Snow typology, this article investigates strategic HRM in public service nonprofit organisations by analysing the significance attached to HRM based on their strategic types. The results of a survey of 79 nonprofit organisations and 7 case studies indicate that strategic HRM was not evident in nonprofit organisations. Defenders, analysers, and prospectors were not different from reactors in the importance they attach to recruitment, compensation and labour relations. The lack of alignment between HRM strategy highlights the need for nonprofit organisations to find a way to address their HR capacity challenges and enhance effectiveness of strategy. |
