  ABSTRACT: This research draws on organizational constructs to investigate the role of HR practices as antecedents of supply relationship integration in inter- and intra-firm contexts. We argue that HR practices can be designed to follow a “specialized” approach or to follow a “relational” approach by promoting collaboration and information sharing at supply relationship level. Drawing on inductive case data from two earlier papers, we identify HRPs supporting standardization as a critical facilitator of inter-firm integration and HRPs supporting mutual adjustment as a critical facilitator of intra-firm integration. This paper contributes to operational integration literature by highlighting the role of HRM in supply relationship integration.
