AB The implementation of human resource (HR) practices (HRPs) is increasingly regarded as a cornerstone in theachievement of overall HRMeffectiveness. This article addresses the role of the HR department in contributingto line managers’ (LMs) effective implementation of HRPs. It does so by comparing the actions of HRdepartments in both effective and ineffective implementation processes in different firms. Its findings reveal thatHR departments can make a difference by taking initiatives that foster LMs’ implementation abilities,motivation and opportunities, such as deploying in-the-field HR specialists, framing practices in appealingways, involving LMs in the development of HRPs and seeking CEO support, among others. By fleshing outthese HR initiatives and linking them to the AMO framework, we build an inductive model that offers a morenuanced view of what HR departments can do to have their proposals effectively implemented by LMs.
