The Architecture of Hr Function in Capital Groups – The Report of Empirical Research

Abstract

The article presents empirical research results referring to the architecture of HR function by locating the decision-making and executive powers in 100 capital groups operating in Poland at the background of capital group definitions, their Polish origins, as well as the discussion focused on the leading role performed by a holding company determining the capital group type. The latter, in the perspective of model oriented studies presented in literature references, constitutes the crucial determinant for HR function architecture in an organizational structure of a group. The research results presented in the article, however, do not confirm the presented thesis, which seems to result mainly from the short history and the specific nature of capital groups establishment in Poland.

Irrespective of how significant the links at a particular level of empirical research are, theoretical capacity of these hypotheses is beyond any doubt.…”
