Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research was to empirically investigate the causal relationship between human resource management (HRM) and firm performance. Firms in the Tohoku district that responded to a survey on HRM and performance in 2000 (T1) participated in the study. Surveys with a similar content were conducted in 2014-2015 (T2). Valid responses were obtained from 50 firms. The result of cross-lagged analysis of this data indicated significant correlations between certain performance indicators at T1 and the use of HRM practices based on the “high-involvement” model at T2. These results suggest that firm performance influences HRM practices in the long term.
