Abstract: It has been realized bv researchers and practitioners that piecemeal interventions in Human Resource Management (HRM) may not contribute positively to company performance. In order to be effective, the HR function needs be integrated both internally i.e. within its sub-functions as well as externally i.e. with other functional areas. This is also referred to as HRM-horizontal fit. Despite the importance of HRM-horizontal fit, there are few studies that look beyond what the ‘fit’ actually comprises. There have been no significant efforts to develop a reliable and valid instrument to measure the various dimensions of this fit. Thus, a need was felt to develop and validate an instrument for measuring HRM-horizontal fit. On the basis of an extensive literature review, two constructs of HRM- horizontal fit were identified. The scales were empirically tested for unidimensionality, reliability and validity using Structural Equation Modelling capabilities of LISREL version 8.50.
