Abstract: This study aims to provide methodological insight for managing the strategic human resources risks. A mixed-method approach was conducted to detect and assess risks in small and medium ICT companies in two different cities in two Middle Eastern countries. In the quantitative phase, risks were detected, and then quantitative data were collected by two questionnaires and analysed by two methods: fuzzy and FMEA. Results show that the ICT companies in both cities are exposed to a set of strategic human resources risks, which fall under two main headings: vertical and horizontal misalignment. Finally, as a result, we presented the FMEA as a useful and valid assessing tool to measure the SHR risks. Developing a clear managing framework and focusing widely on the strategic HR risks using quantitative methods is a new addition to the HR literature.
