Doing business in an increasingly turbulent marketplace requiresintegrating strategically sound choices (to increase the ability tosurvive, adapt and prosper despite dynamic changes) that go beyondorganizational boundaries. A perusal of the literature shows thata broad frame of references for organizational success is not adequatelydeveloped; it suffers from the absence of an integrativestrategic model. Therefore, by taking an interdisciplinary approachwith a relational perspective, this study takes an integrative and freshapproach toward illuminating the role of SCM practices in realizingthe potential influence of HRM practices on organizational performance.Using the data obtained from 157 manufacturing organizations,this study tests, examines and develops the mediating role ofSCM practices. The findings indicate a positive linkage between HRMpractices, SCM practices and organizational performance. In addition,the findings also show that SCM practices mediate the relationshipbetween HRM practices and organizational performance
