Requirement criteria refer to the specific standards or benchmarks that human resources tools—such as performance appraisals or compensation systems—should meet in order to effectively support organizational goals.
These criteria are typically defined by decision-makers based on their strategic objectives and the specific organizational context. While grounded in theory, they are often plausibly selected or empirically derived from a wide range of possible factors. Once established, requirement criteria serve three key functions:
-
Guiding the selection of appropriate HR tools
-
Informing the design and structure of those tools
-
Enabling systematic evaluation of tool effectiveness
By applying well-defined requirement criteria, organizations can ensure that their HR systems are both strategically aligned and methodologically sound, ultimately enhancing decision-making and organizational performance.
