Considering the unique corporate governance and institutional context of South Korea, I focus on four stakeholder groups – family owners, professional CEOs, HR professionals, and labor unions. Using panel data on Korean firms between 2007 and 2017, I found that PM practices were fully utilized, thoroughly implemented, and effective in achieving the intended performance outcomes in firms managed by professional CEOs rather than family owners and those with a formal HR department. However, I found that the effect of unionization on the utilization and effectiveness of PM practices was not significant.
