The survey asked the managers and employees to indicate the degree to which the HRM department controlled or had an impact on each of the six success factors. The scale ranged from a low of one, indicating that the HRM department did not have an impact on that particular factor, to a high score of seven, indicating that the HRM department was able to completely control that particular factor. A “don’t know" option was also provided, and the persons who selected this option were excluded from the study because of their lack of knowledge. This option was important to include so that restaurant operations staff who were not familiar with the HRM department would not give spuriously low ratings on its impact because of their lack of contact with this particular unit.
For the purpose of analysis, we separated the corporate managers' responses from those of the restaurant operations staff (i.e., store managers and crew members). We did this in the belief that the corporate managers may view the role of HRM differently than the operational staff. Their view of HRM may be different because they had more direct contact with the HRM department, which was centrally located at the corporate headquarters.
Table 1 provides a summary of our findings. The bar graphs represent the mean scores for each of the six critical success factors as viewed by the restaurant operations staff and corporate managers. As it suggests, the perceived ability of the HRM department to handle employee turnover and to attract and retain employees was high. These findings were not surprising since these two areas are traditionally associated with personnel departments. In addition, corporate managers viewed the HRM department as more capable of controlling these factors than did those managers and employees in the various restaurant locations.
In contrast, the HRM department was not viewed as having a substantial impact on determining customer needs, increasing profitability, delivering service, quality, cleanliness, or atmosphere, and having name recognition or a positive company image. Regardless of whether restaurant operations staff or corporate managers were surveyed, the pattern of little perceived impact persisted. The survey data summarized in Table 1 reveals that both corporate managers and restaurant operations staff narrowly define the impact of the HRM department.
