The Impact of Strategic Human Resources Management Practices on Firm Performance: The Mediating Role of Supply Chain Management

This article sets out to study the associations between strategic human resources management (SHRM) practices, supply chain management (SCM) implementation, and small to medium enterprise (SME) firm performance in Palestine. An instrument was constructed, followed by detailed research confirmed by human resources management (HRM) andSCMexperts' viewpoints. Several SMEsin Palestine conducted cross-sectional surveys that included both direct and postal questionnaires. Three hundred two usable surveys were returned. SEM was used to study the results. These data show that SHRM practices indirectly aid small and medium-sized businesses by implementing SCM. SCM implementation further explores if it mediates such interaction. It showed that SCM implementation has a total effect on the performance of SMEs. These data indicate that if SHRM standards are not in place, SCM won't boost SME performance. This study found the vacuum in SCM research by observing that SMEs lack SCM knowledge and incorporate SHRM practices into SCM implementation in SMEs. SCM adoption mediates the influence of SHRM practices on SMEs' company performance.
