This paper proposes a new process framework to develop a performance management system aligned to the context of knowledge based teams. Synthesis of literature and conceptual integration is the approach adopted to develop the framework. Firstly, the unique characteristics and the resulting work requirements of knowledge based teams are discussed. Secondly, based on these requirements the most suitable theoretical model for knowledge based teams is identified from literature. Finally, based on the fundamentals of the theoretical model, a new conceptual framework is proposed. The attributes of commitment based human resource management are argued to be the most suited theoretical model for knowledge based teams.

Abstract


This paper proposes a new process framework to develop a performance management system aligned to the context of knowledge based teams. Synthesis of literature and conceptual integration is the approach adopted to develop the framework. Firstly, the unique characteristics and the resulting work requirements of knowledge based teams are discussed. Secondly, based on these requirements the most suitable theoretical model for knowledge based teams is identified from literature. Finally, based on the fundamentals of the theoretical model, a new conceptual framework is proposed. The attributes of commitment based human resource management are argued to be the most suited theoretical model for knowledge based teams.
