Beyond Established Perspectives
We particularly encourage submissions that move beyond conventional relationships between HR practices and employee outcomes by examining novel mechanisms, boundary conditions, emerging technologies, cross-level relationships, and interdisciplinary perspectives.
Studies employing longitudinal designs, multi-level analysis, experimental approaches, panel data, qualitative methodologies, mixed methods, and advanced quantitative techniques are especially encouraged.
Looking Toward 2027 and Beyond
The 2027 issues seek to advance a forward-looking research agenda by asking important questions:
“How will AI reshape the role of human resources?”
“What capabilities will employees and organizations need for the future of work?”
“How can organizations balance productivity, technology, employee well-being, and sustainability?”
“How should HRM evolve in response to increasingly digital, diverse, and dynamic workplaces?”
