Overview: This paper introduces a new typology that focuses on the way employees are managed in smaller, initial public offering (IPO) firms. Unlike many typologies in the human resource management literature, this typology is rooted in theory. Specifically, agency theory and organizational control theory suggest two forms of control over the entire employee population: bureaucratic control and outcome control. Examining IPO firms in terms of their choices to implement bureaucratic or outcome control for all employees results in a typology of four different human resource control orientations. The first type of control orientation uses neither form of control, the second uses only outcome control, the third uses bureaucratic control, and the fourth uses both bureaucratic and outcome control.
