| Abstract: | Karen Legge's (2001) critique of HRM in which she argues that the attempt of modernist/positivist HRM research to show that HRM improves organizational performance is "spent round" is revisited in this article. It is noted that despite spirited challenges by Legge and others, the discourse of HRM is becoming increasingly dominant. Accordingly, discourse analysis is used to examine why this might be the case. |
