<br/><br/> There exists an expansive academic literature regarding the Human Resource (HR) performance link and the positive impact sophisticated HR practices can have on the competitive advantage of a firm. Much of this is concerned with large firms, thus presenting an opportunity for research to be conducted amongst SMEs. In addition, the role of influences on HR sophistication amongst such a sample has been found to be under-researched. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to identify influences on HR sophistication within South Wales based professional service firms. The contribution of this research is the development of a measure of HR sophistication in the form of the "sophistication scale" and the identification of three distinct influence categories.
