노동시장의 유연화에 따른 인적자원관리의 변화는 기업의 경쟁우위를 결정하는 중요한 요인이 되고 있다. 그동안 자원기반관점을 전제로 한 인적자원관리의 실증연구들은 인적자원관리관행이 조직의 성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 점을 검증함으로써 인적자원관리 연구의 이론적 토대를 제공하였다. 그러나 최근에는 고성과 인적자원관리관행이 어떻게 조직의 성과에 영향을 미치는가에 대한 관심이 증가하면서 내부 프로세스를 규명하고자 하는 실증연구들이 많이 진행되어왔다. 급변하는 경쟁환경에서 종업원의 유연성은 고성과 인적자원관리관행과 기업 경쟁우위의 관련성을 설명하는데 중요한 내부 메커니즘으로 강조되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 고성과 인적자원관리관행이 인적자원 유연성에 미치는 영향 및 조직성과 간 관계에서 인적자원 유연성(기술유연성, 행동유연성, 관계유연성)의 매개효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 297개의 제조업 및 서비스업, 기타 기업을 대상으로 한 실증분석을 실시하였다. 먼저 고성과 인적자원관리관행은 인적자원 유연성의 구성요소인 기술유연성, 행동유연성, 관계유연성을 향상시키는데 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있었다. 매개효과 검증결과, 고성과 인적자원관리관행은 조직성과에 긍정적 영향을 미치며, 매개변수인 행동유연성과 관계유연성은 부분 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타난 반면 기술유연성은 매개효과가 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 인적자원 유연성의 중요성에 대해 논의하고, 실무적 관점에서 고성과 인적자원관리관행의 실행과 인적자원 유연성과 관련한 시사점을 제시하였다. 마지막으로 한계점과 추후 연구방향을 제시하였다.

The purpose of our empirical study is to test the mediating role of HR flexibility in the high performance HR practices-performance linkage. We collected data by administering structured questionnaires to firms’ HR managers who take change in daily activities of personnel issues and are close to gain performance data. The survey took place from August to October 2013 on a total sample of 1,005 workplace with 100 or more employees and the firms known as excellent workplace innovation cases. A total of 297 valid responses (one response per one workplace) were included for the analysis. This study found that high performance HR practices had a positive impact on HR flexibility and organisational performance as well. In addition, we showed that HR flexibility could play a intermediary role in high performance HR practices-performance linkage in general. Using the RBV arguments, this paper highlights the importance of human resource for organisational performance in the high performance HRM field. That is, internal, excellent human resource can be a crucial source of firm's competitive advantage in the current business environment. In conclusion, we discussed theoretical contributions and managerial implications in details.
