The linkage between HRM and firm performance has dominated much of the debate within the HRM literature since the mid-1990s. HRM practices and firm performance links are well established in the Western literature (e.g., Delaney and Huselid, 1996; Delery and Doty, 1996; Huselid, 1995). HRM has been an appealing area of corporate management but less academic focus since socio-economic development started. While the politics and economy of Malaysia is well covered, less is known about its people management (Rowley and Saaidah, 2007). Hazman Shah (1998) found that Malaysian human resource (HR) managers tend to have little influence in the strategic management process. Rowley and Saaidah (2007) concluded that as for overall, Malaysian people management generally would be better characterized as still more like 'personnel', than 'HR' management. For instance, there was to a certain extent a low commitment to HR by top management, who showed little, if any, long-term commitment to HR issues. Management tended to treat staff as variable, rather than fixed, assets and HR issues of secondary importance as priorities centered upon financial control and profit maximization of the operations. Hope-Hailey, Farndale and Truss (2005) noted that one particular area of neglect in unpicking the link between HRM and performance is the role played by the HR department. Chew (2005) highlighted that although the role of the HR department and its importance is gradually expanding in Malaysia, the general notion is that the HR department still plays largely an administrative role. Consistent with Chew's argument, a more recent study involving 32 manufacturing in Malaysia by Long and Wan Khairuzzaman (2008), they found that HR professionals are lacking in their capacity to play an important role as a strategic partner and agent for change. In effect, it will weaken the performance of the HRM department and consequently affect overall organizational effectiveness. To increase the performance of the HRM department, HR managers need to devolve some of the HR activities (i.e., operational activities) to the line managers as a move to become more strategic in their orientation. Evidence can be seen in Perry and Kulik (2008) when they found that HR managers perceived that people management was more effective when HR staff were less personally responsible for HR activities in order to become a strategic partner. Strategic activities are time consuming for HR managers and consequently they will face work overload if they still handled the operational tasks (Kulik and Bainbridge, 2006). To the best of the researcher's knowledge, empirical evidence on the relationship between the role of the HRM department and HRM effectiveness is very limited and not very well established in Malaysia. HR role is regarded key to effectiveness of HRM (Bowen and Ostroff, 2004; Wright, McMahan, McCormick and Sherman, 1998; Mitsuhashi, Park, Wright and Chua, 2000; Boselie and Paauwe 2005). Therefore, this paper explores this relationship between the HR roles collected from HR managers and HRM effectiveness by drawing on data collected from line managers in large firms in Malaysia. This research design partially controlled for common method variance by collecting information from two separate sources, HR manager and line manager. Multiple raters minimize subjectivity and individual judgment in retrospective reporting in strategic HRM research (Delaney and Huselid, 1996). The structure of the remainder of the paper is as follows; first, an overview of HRM in Malaysia and past studies on HR roles are presented; the methodology is then outlined followed by a presentation and discussion of the main findings; and finally the paper discussed by arguing for further research on the HR roles. LITERATURE REVIEW The following sections examine the extant literature on human resource management in Malaysia and previous studies on the role of the HR department. …" @default.
