- Abstract
The competitive business environment is pushing the human resource (HR) function beyond its traditional administrative role into a strategic role in business. The comparative study described here examined the perceived importance and ability of human resource (HR) managers in their strategic roles, as perceived by HR managers and non-HR managers. A mail survey was used to collect quantitative data in the domains of strategic management, business knowledge, management of talent, employee relations, quality of work-family life, and information technology. Non-HR managers rated the importance of HR managers' strategic roles significantly higher than the perceived ability of HR managers in those strategic roles. Furthermore, non-HR managers rated the ability of HR managers significantly lower than how HR managers self-rated their own abilities.
