Abstract This paper uses the configuration theory, summarizes hypothesis of manufacturing strategy, HRM systems and firm performance, and uses 214 manufacturing enterprises in Guangdong to make an empirical test for the hypothesis. Studies have shown enterprises that use of Mass Servers and Quality customizers strategy are more likely to use internal type HRM system, those using specialized contractors strategy tend to use mixed HRM systems and those use Low Emphasizers prefer market type HRM system. The enterprises that match manufacturing strategy with HRM system have higher HRM performance than enterprises that do not match manufacturing strategy with HRM system.
