NEIRA, Fernando. DIFFICULTIES IN IMPLEMENTING MODELS OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT: AN APPROACH TO THE URUGUAYAN REALITY. Cienc. Psicol. [online]. 2011, vol.5, n.1, pp.31-45. ISSN 1688-4221.

In this paper we present the preliminary results of an ongoing investigation concerning the difficulties in Uruguay to implement HR management models in Uruguayan companies. We conducted a field study on the management models applied in a sector and their impact on business strategy, reaching three working hypotheses: The first hypothesis refers to the prevailing business philosophy in the Senior Management teams of Uruguayan companies which prevents viewing the proper management of human resources as a key element in achieving business strategy. A second hypothesis focuses in the fact that HR management is not conducted according to management models but, through a wide range of tools that are not necessarily part of a larger system or model. A final hypothesis concerns the influence of labor relations influence in the implementation of integrated management of human capital systems or models

Keywords : human capital; management models.
