Küreselleşme, uluslararası rekabet ve güçlü teknolojik değişimler organizasyonların yapılarında ve fonksiyonlarında bazı önemli yenileme çalışmalarını gerekli kılmıştır. Bu değişimlerle birlikte şirketler, stratejiler doğrultusunda kararlar almaya ve planlar geliştirmeye başlamışlardır. Stratejik İnsan Kaynakları Yönetimi(SİKY) şirketin stratejik yönünün ve ihtiyaçlarının belirlenmesine yardımcı olmayı amaçlamakla birlikte işletmenin rekabet avantajı yakalamasında önemli bir usurdur. Rekabet avantajı için iş stratejileri ve İnsan Kaynakları yönetimi süreçleri birlikte düşünülmelidir. SKİY, şirketin hayatta kalma, gelişim, uyum sağlayabilme ve karlılık gibi çeşitli stratejik ihtiyaçlarını gerçekleştirmekte ve şirket politikası, kültürü, değerleri, uygulamaları ve felsefeleri gibi çeşitli bileşenleri içermektedir. Bu bileşenler firmaya, çevresel değişimlere uyum sağlamak, iş gücünü geliştirmek, işletme kültürünü değiştirmek, çalışanları değişimlere uyumlarını sağlamak ve iş stratejilerini desteklemek konularında yardımcı olmaktadır. Bu çalışma, stratejik insan kaynakları yönetiminde yeralan temel felsefeleri ve bunların iş tatmini, işletmeye bağlılık ve rekabet avantajı üzerindeki etkilerini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır.
