Abstract

The paper explores recent change dynamics of human resource management (HRM) practices by examining underlying reasons why these changes have occurred within large-sized Croatian organizations. In Study 1, for hypotheses development purposes, we applied the expert survey method to assess how HR practitioners perceive the role of contextual factors (the HRM philosophy, the global financial crisis and the European Union membership) in influencing various HRM practices. In Study 2, we reported empirical findings from two rounds of our field survey research (2012 and 2014) using the CRANET methodology. Lastly, the expert opinion method on a sample of academics in Study 3 was used to attribute HRM changes to the contextual factors explored. The global financial crisis was found to be the most plausible explanation for the majority of HRM changes that happened in the observed three-year period. However, both the HRM philosophy and the European Union (EU) membership were recognized to have a certain impact as well.
