In the postmodern world we live in, classical perspectives are replaced by different paradigms that question and transform. Based on this trend, traditional human resources management has been replaced by strategic human resources management. This strategic understanding is critical for businesses to survive in today's competitive conditions, to be flexible to environmental conditions and to shape the future. Therefore, it is seen that academic studies and business practices that approach human resources management strategically are increasing rapidly. In this research, it is aimed to analyze the strategic human resource management issue, which tries to accurately evaluate the added value that employees provide to the business, in the context of the literature. The first of the research questions questions the ways in which the subject is addressed academically, while another question examines the current issues in strategic human resource management. Content analysis was carried out on the articles identified after searching the related researches in the relevant databases. The results are important in terms of guiding new studies to be conducted in the field and drawing attention to alternative approaches in the field of practice.

İçinde yaşadığımız post modern dünyada klasik bakış açıları yerini sorgulayan, dönüştüren farklı paradigmalara bırakmaktadır. Bu eğilimden hareketle geleneksel insan kaynakları yönetimi de yerini stratejik insan kaynakları yönetimine bırakmıştır. İşletmelerin günümüz rekabet şartlarında ayakta kalabilmesi, çevresel şartlara esneklik gösterebilmesi ve geleceğe yön verebilmesinde stratejik bu anlayış kritik konumda yer almaktadır. Dolayısıyla insan kaynakları yönetimine stratejik olarak yaklaşan akademik çalışmalar ve işletme uygulamalarının hızla arttığı görülmektedir. Bu araştırmada çalışanların işletmeye sağladığı katma değeri doğru değerlendirmeye çalışan stratejik insan kaynakları yönetimi konusunun literatür bağlamında analiz edilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırma sorularından ilki akademik olarak konunun ele alınış biçimlerini sorgularken, diğer bir soruda da stratejik insan kaynakları yönetiminde konuşulan güncel konuları irdelemektedir. İlgili veri tabanlarında konu ile ilgili araştırmalar tarandıktan sonra tespit edilen makaleler üzerinden içerik analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuçlar alanda yürütülecek yeni çalışmalara yön gösterme ve uygulama alanında alternatif yaklaşımlara dikkat çekme anlamında öneme sahiptir.
