Abstract
The paper examines the link between Strategic Human Resources Management (SHRM) and Small-Medium
Firm (SMF) Performance. The objectives of the study are to explore the link between Strategic SHRM
practices and Small-Medium Firm Performance and also to examine whether factors like size, maturity,
planning level, and availability of human resource department make any difference in practicing SHRM to the
selected firms in the food industry in Nigeria. Survey research design, which gives room for the use of a
questionnaire, was employed. Regression, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis were used to test the
hypothesis. The findings show that R2 value of 0.511 reveals that Strategic Human Resources Management
independently accounts for 51.1% of the variation of Small-Medium Firm Performance, which reveal that
there is a significant relationship between Strategic Human Resources Management and Small-Medium Firm
Performance. R2 value of 0.658 reveals that Size, maturity, planning level and availability of HR department
(HRD) accounts for 65.8% of the variation in SHRM practices, which reveal that Size, maturity, planning level
and availability of HR department significantly affect SHRM practices of the firms. Thus, the study
recommends SMF to find ways to manage human resources more efficiently and effectively in order to remain
competitive in the globalized market.
