The purpose of this study is to investigate which HR constraints line managers perceive inimplementing HR practices on the work floor in four Dutch

organizations, taking their organizational characteristics into consideration. The literature about devolving HRresponsibilities to the line identifies five constraining factors for HR performance, but does notdifferentiate between different

organizational situations and its impact on which constraints areimportant. We present four case studies, in which we base our findings about

whichorganizational characteristics influence the perceived HR constraints on quantitative andqualitative data of the cases. The qualitative data reveal more organizational characteristics thanpreviously measured in a quantitative way.
