Abstract This study is probably the first to provide an integrated model of Chinese best HRM practices through a multi-case study research. The framework of “ability–motivation–opportunity” theory has been used in this study to analyz the common HRM characteristics of ten leading enterprises in China. It gives valuable information and guidelines which hopefully will help the leaders to accomplish HRM work in an effective way. The results show that the basic employment mechanism of Chinese best HRM practices is commitment mechanism, focusing on the development of individual employees by coaching and training them. It aims to build a psychological contract between the employees and the organization to achieve common development. Compared with the existing research of western countries, Chinese enterprises put more emphasis on staff moral character in the recruitment process, and pay more attention to the opportunity-enhancing HR practices. From the contingency perspective, there are different degrees of emphasis about HR practices in the different seedtime of native enterprises. From concerning motivation- enhancing HR practice in the early stage of development to skill-enhancing and opportunity-enhancing HR practices, the commitment mechanism is highlighted as well.
