| Summary: | This study was conducted to take stock of human resource (HR) practices in Singapore from a strategic human resource management point of view. The study involved a quantitative survey mailed to 900 companies in Singapore of which 183 responded. The questionnaire had two parts. Part 1 was to be
completed by the CEO of the company and asked questions on organizational strategy and performance. Part 2 was to be completed by the HR Manager and included questions on HR Practices.
