An Empirical Study of Microfoundation in Strategic Human Resource Management:

Using J1 League Data Between 2014 and 2018

Abstract

We conducted an empirical study on the microfoundation in strategic human resource management using J1 league data. To overcome the problem about unit-level human capital research, we used pay dispersion and diversity as a diversification of human capital, and the effect on ranking was examined. As a result, we found the followings: 1) pay dispersion within the team has a negative impact on ranking, and 2) task diversity has a positive impact on ranking.
