AB  - This study explores the configurations of people management practices in micro-firms and their relation with
entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance in a four-year window. Based on the ability-, motivation- and
opportunity-focused practices framework, we identify configurations of HRM practices used in micro-firms and,
in conjugation with entrepreneurial orientation, how they affect employee growth and net income. We analyzed
data collected from 114 micro-firm owners combined with firm objective performance measures using Multiple
Correspondence Analysis and Cluster Analysis. Results show a taxonomy of three configurations of HRM practices
associated with different entrepreneurial orientation strategic postures in micro-firms: “Financial centric
HRM practices”, “Operations centric HRM practices”, and “People centric HRM practices”. We assume that
configurational methods can help uncover the complexity of the interplay between HRM practices and strategic
postures on micro-firm performance. This study contributes to the literature in micro-firms by revealing effective
people-related managerial practices on performance.
