Employer Legitimacy and Recruitment Success in Small Businesses

Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, 2000, vol. 25, issue 1, 27-42

Abstract: Recruiting new employees is one of the biggest challenges facing small businesses, and a key component of organizational success. Unfortunately, existing human resource literature has almost entirely focused on medium and large firms. In addition, past recruitment research has neglected the possible influence of institutional forces on organizational recruitment success. This paper attempts to address these potential gaps in the literature by utilizing institutional theory to develop a strategic model of small business recruitment.
