    There have been dramatic changes in the social and economic environments of organizations in recent years, and these changes are propelling the field of human resource management (HRM) in new directions and redefining our perspectives on established practices. Notable recent trends include the increased opportunities for remote and virtual work that has affected the nature of the employment relationship and what employees and applicants expect from an employer. Additionally, workforce diversity and the inclusion of minority members in the organization's leadership has taken center stage. Meeting societal expectations for equity and equality, customer needs, and cross-cultural challenges is affecting the design and delivery of HRM practices. Finally, historically significant HR trends such as globalization, benefits cost escalation, and labor unionization are rising to renewed prominence in their influence on decision making.

    Although there have been many changes in HRM over time, the field needs to continue to evolve in order to be relevant and effective into the future. Thus, this special issue will focus on current and emerging issues and the future of HRM processes and practices. In particular, we are interested in papers that focus on changes or new directions needed in job analysis and design, attraction and recruitment, staffing and talent management, training and development, performance management, compensation and benefits, and labor and employee relations. Papers should (a) provide a review of the current and emerging issues for one or more HRM processes, (b) provide a thorough review of the literature on a topic, (c) present a model or framework to guide future research and practice (if needed), and (d) offer specific directions for future research and practice on the topic.

    Submission Instructions

    Submissions should be limited to conceptual papers, systematic or integrative literature reviews with theory, conceptual development, or research implications, critiques of the literature or the field of HRM with implications, new theoretical models or research frameworks, or meta-analyses.
