De. Terpstra et al., A MODEL OF HUMAN-RESOURCE INFORMATION, PRACTICE CHOICE, AND ORGANIZATIONAL OUTCOMES, Human resource management review, 6(1), 1996, pp. 25-46

HR) manager characteristics, information search behavior and sources e
mployed, HR knowledge, HR practice choice and implementation, and orga
nizational outcomes. The importance of organizational, environmental,
and institutional determinants is acknowledged; but the model focuses
on the HR manager and emphasizes the proactive role that the practitio
ner should, ideally, play in helping to shape HR practice and influenc
e important organizational outcomes.
