摘要：To sustain competitive advantage, organisations rely on technology, patents or strategic positions and on how their workforce is managed. Emphasis on ‘people’ to compete effectively in global economies requires HR practitioners to live up to the challenges, expectations and trends in HR functions. The aim was to establish if HR practitioners are equipped with the capabilities for the challenges, expectations and trends of HR effectiveness. Data was collected via an e-survey questionnaire, from 364 members of the Human Resource Institute of New Zealand. The response rate was 41%. Five closely related HR themes were focused on: the first two on the HR practitioner’s role as change agent and strategic partner. The three remaining themes focused on HR practitioner’s responsibility of improving relations in the organisation. Findings show high positive results in self-identified HR capabilities. This signifies that HR practitioners in New Zealand possess capabilities that can increase HR effectiveness.
