  abstract = {The conceptual and empirical studies on the relationships between the HRM contributive practices and the company’s performance results have been performed in many ways for the last few decades. However, only few of them incorporated the contributive role of HRM in competition for the human factor from the Central European (CE) perspective. Hence, the main goal of the paper is to determine in what way the degree of HRM contribution to the MNC’s performance results influences the perceived value of the human factor as a competitive differentiator on the market. Consequently, the identification and analysis of the relationships between the degree of HRM and its subfunctions’ contributions to the MNC’s performance results (independent variables) and the perceived value of the human factor as a competitive factor (dependent variable) makes a research problem. To solve the problem, the authors have built the empirical research model of relationships between the contributive HRM and the competitive human factor. The research sample covered 200 CE headquarters (HQs) of MNCs and their local subsidiaries. The empirical research findings show that there are clear, identifiable relationships between the variables under study. The relationships are true when considered from the global perspective, as when the MNCs evaluate their worldwide HRM practices and the impact of these practices on the worldwide competitive value of their human factor. There are some exceptions and differences when the overall HRM contribution or its particular HRM subfunctions’ contribution are juxtaposed with the overall human factor or with its two subfactors at the local subsidiaries level.},
