Title: Strategic Human Resource Management and Organizational Behavior: A Collaborative Framework for Long-Term Organizational Growth

Abstract

The alignment between Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) and Organizational Behavior (OB) has become crucial for long-term organizational success, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The shift to remote work and virtual teams has transformed communication and collaboration, requiring new strategies to maintain productivity, morale, and organizational culture. These changes have expanded HR’s role, with a heightened focus on employee well-being, engagement, and mental health. As organizations adapt to these challenges, leveraging HR to foster continuous development becomes essential. This research explores the relationship between SHRM and OB, aiming to create a collaborative framework that supports sustainable organizational growth. The framework focuses on adaptability, employee well-being, and resilience. Drawing on contemporary theories and empirical studies, the research examines SHRM practices, organizational culture, employee behavior, and overall performance. It investigates the roles of leadership, communication, motivation, and organizational learning in driving growth. Using a mixed-methods approach, including quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, the study provides both theoretical and empirical evidence of how integrating SHRM and OB can enhance organizational outcomes. Preliminary findings suggest that organizations that effectively combine these practices outperform competitors in areas such as employee retention, innovation, and overall performance, indicating that aligning SHRM and OB is key to thriving in an evolving business environment.
