'Storey (1989) has distinguished between hard and soft forms of
HRM, typified by the Michigan and Harvard models respectively.
'Hard' HRM focuses on the resource side of human resources. It
emphasizes costs in the form of 'headcounts' and places control
firmly in the hands of management. Their role is to manage
numbers effectively, keeping the workforce closely matched with
requirements in terms of both bodies and behaviour. 'Soft' HRM,
on the other hand, stresses the 'human' aspects of HRM. Its
concerns are with communication and motivation. People are led
rather than managed. They are involved in determining and
realizing strategic objectives.’
