Analysis On The Role Of Strategic Human Resource Management In Enhancing Supply Chain Integration

Abstract

The importance of Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) in supporting Supply Chain Integration (SCI) in businesses is examined in this study. Human resource strategies must be in line with supply chain objectives in the current competitive environment in order to improve overall performance and operational efficiency. In order to determine the primary SHRM practices that have a positive impact on SCI, this study uses a qualitative methodology, examining the body of current literature and conducting case studies across multiple industries. According to the findings, a collaborative culture, thorough training programs, and efficient hiring practices all play a major role in smooth supply chain operations. Additionally, it shows that supply chain partners' communication and trust are enhanced by SHRM practices that support employee empowerment and engagement.  Organisations can efficiently manage supply chain complexity by leveraging their human capital by concentrating on the integration of human resource activities with supply chain strategies. By offering a framework that businesses can use to match their HR strategies with supply chain goals, this study advances the theoretical understanding of the interaction between SHRM and SCI. The findings highlight that attaining a lasting competitive advantage in supply chain performance requires a comprehensive approach to human resource management.
