Overview: In this paper, one presents preliminary findings from an empirical study that seeks to address the question of how HRM (Human Resource Management) can contribute to organisational success by adopting a complexity theory approach. By viewing organisations as non-linear systems, focusing on interconnections between points in the system, and stressing the importance of network nodes in mediating organisational outcomes, complexity theory suggests, at a conceptual level, that the significance of HRM may lie more in processes than in policies or strategies.
