“…ETs might have to deal with both external and internal challenges (Schmelter, Mauer, Börsch, & Brettel, 2010, p. 716). Schmelter et al (2010) noted that the reason why ETs should relate to human resource management (HRM) is that people are the key of innovations. They also assume that business scale is related to HRM practices.…”

The purposes of this paper are to point out some problems which would influence effectiveness of the entrepreneurial team and to find the possible solutions which could improve work effectiveness or performance of entrepreneurial from the human resource management aspect. This paper uses literature-driven definitions of entrepreneurial teams and the team effectiveness, using human resource management theories to present solutions and suggestions for effectiveness problems in entrepreneurial teams. Through studying relevant references, some problems, for example, ETs lacking a strategic view of the human resource, are analyzed from the HRM aspect.The reasons why members of ETs have low work effectiveness are listed briefly. Although some people hole the view that HRM is directly related to ETs, there is a lack of systematic methods which could help managers of ETs to implement HRM practices. In the final part, solution and suggestion would be listed in detail to help leaders or management implement great HRM practices.

“…Therefore, the extant literature suggests that entrepreneurial orientation can be a bridge between HPWS and corporate performance. However, although scholars in the field of entrepreneurship agree that human resource management practices are antecedents to entrepreneurial orientation (De Kok and Den Hartog 2006;Schuler 1986), the consensus is largely based on conceptual work which lacks comprehensive empirical tests (Schmelter et al 2010). In the few existing empirical analyses, there are conflicting results.…”

This study investigates the functioning mechanisms of how high performance work systems (HPWS) affect organizational performance. We propose that (HPWS) can positively affect organizational performance through the mediating role of entrepreneurial orientation. An organization with high performance work systems can perform better if it enjoys high level of organizational learning. We design and administer a survey questionnaire to high-level executives or founders of companies from manufacturing and service industries and receive 176 valid responses. The results of the empirical data indicate that the relationship between high performance work systems and corporate performance is more positive when organizational learning is stronger. Entrepreneurial orientation partially mediates the relationship between high performance work systems and organizational performance. This study opens new research avenues by extending and incorporating explanations and predictions of HPWS and entrepreneurial orientation, two areas that largely have been considered independently of each other. Implications for practice and directions for future research are provided.

“…Evidências empíricas, contudo, indicam que investimentos no desenvolvimento de práticas de gestão de pessoas adequadas às condições específicas das PMEs desdobram-se em melhorias de desempenho do empreendimento (Della Torre, & Solari, 2011;Naz, Junaid, & Muhammad, 2016;Schmelter, Mauer, Börsch, & Brettel, 2010;Teo, Clere, & Galang, 2011), sugerindo que esse é um tema que merece ser abordado com maior atenção. Um ponto chave bastante desafiador para as PMEs, é ser capaz de atrair profissionais qualificados (Moser, Tumasjan, & Welpe, 2017), um tópico que só recentemente começa a ser explorado pela literatura.…”

Lina Eiko Nakata RESUMOA gestão de pessoas em pequenas e médias empresas (PMEs) tem sido pouco abordada pela literatura que, em geral, foca as grandes empresas. Esta pesquisa busca preencher essa lacuna, investigando a relação entre o estilo do empreendedor e as abordagens de atração de pessoas em PMEs. Para tanto, foi realizado um survey com 146 PMEs, testando um conjunto de hipóteses por meio de modelagem de equações estruturais. Os resultados indicam haver uma relação entre o estilo do empreendedor (transformacional versus transacional) e os tipos de atributos (simbólicos ou instrumentais) enfatizados na atração de pessoas. Também foi observado que quanto maior a empresa, menor ênfase é dada a fatores simbólicos. Já PMEs comerciais/varejo enfatizam mais fatores simbólicos de atração do que outros segmentos. Por outro lado, os resultados indicam que as abordagens de atração são mais impactadas pelo estilo do empreendedor em si, do que por características da empresa/negócio (idade, tamanho, segmento).
