Abstract
The objectives of this article were to explore the knowledge of human resource management and to analyze the phenomenon of human resource management, especially the organizational core team building from the startup phase until the growth phase. In this article, three areas are focused on as follows: The first area is that recruiting new employees in the core team of the organization must be fit in accordance with the contingency approach. The interconnected interactions of different factors visualize the realities of the organization and also involve the Person-Environment (P-E) Fit. The second area is that the organization's composition and core team formation is based on the Upper Echelons (UE) theory that describes the characteristics that make a Top Management Team (TMT) have the ability to perform tasks, which will have a significant influence on the strategic and financial outcomes of an organization in the context of a small or startup organization. The last one is the change and stability of the employment model. The startup organization model is analyzed in view of the presence of inertial and adaptive forces associated with the evolution of the employment model. The employment model is the basis for the exchange between the members of the organization and the organization itself.
