“…A number of researchers within the healthcare context suggest that SHRM systems improve organisational success and in particular when quality management programmes are in use (Caron et al 2004;Chen et al 2004;Manion 2004). Gowen et al (2006:818) also suggest "…that hospital errors can be successfully addressed with appropriate quality management practices and strategic HRM".…”

There is a growing appreciation in the healthcare field of the importance of complementing physician expertise with more effective organisational processes and procedures (Flood 1994). Gowen et al (2006) suggest that Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) can effectively address hospital errors in tandem with quality management processes and procedures. To date, there is a growing wealth of research investigating how SHRM practices can increase organisational performance and competitiveness in the private sector. Unfortunately, this is not true of the healthcare sector, or indeed the Intellectual Disability Care (IDC) Sector where there remains a dearth of research addressing the linkages between HRM and organisational effectiveness. The purpose of this paper is two fold. Firstly, the paper will examine the literature investigating SHRM in healthcare, with reference to the IDC Sector where possible, focussing specifically on High Performance Work Systems (HPWS). Secondly, the paper will focus on how far HPWS have expanded in the sector at an organisational level from a management perspective. A postal questionnaire was chosen as the means of gathering this information. One questionnaire was sent to the human resource manager in each IDC centre in Ireland. The findings provide us with some important insights into the differential utilisation of the components of HPWS across the sector. The areas of HPWS in which the centres achieved the highest score were service user focus and teamwork. The area scored least favourably was communication between management and employees.

There has been growing interest in the relationship between knowledge management (KM) and intellectual capital (IC) as well as KM and organizational performance, in addition to IC and organizational performance. Yet, the crucial challenge for an organization is to integrate a well-designed performance measure based on KM, intellectual capital (IC), and organizational performance through balanced scorecard (BSC). In this research, the association among KM, IC, and BSC based performance is investigated. The results from knowledge-intensive firms disclosed a positive relationship between both KM and IC and between KM and BSC. Moreover, empirical results revealed the presence of partial evidence to support the relationship between KM and BSC. Thus, a suitable application of IC indicates the necessity to implement KM leading to organizational performance based on BSC. | INTRODUCTIONIn a knowledge era, the continuity of organizations depends on their ability to cope with changes associated with the dynamic turbulent business environment. This environment has moved organizations to modify and improve their competencies to maintain a competitive advantage (Karasneh & Al-zoubi, 2019).
