Dear colleagues,
You might be interested in the first 2020 issue of the Human Resource Management Journal. In this issue we have a range of stimulating empirical and theoretical papers, many free to access:
- The new year starts with an editorial from our editors-in-chief (Elaine Farndale, Anthony McDonnell, Dora Scholarios, & Adrian Wilkinson) about the past, present and future of HRMJ.
- We have a series of four provocation papers on the psychologization of HR and employee relations research – our editors introduce this conversation series, in which Troth and Guest make the case for psychology in HR and ER, and John Budd, Bruce Kaufman, and John Godard highlight the issues it brings.
- In his provocation piece, Kevin Murphy calls for the death of performance appraisals and challenges us to think about what value they bring.
- Nick Kinnie and Juani Swart review research on cross-boundary working and consider the implications for the field of HRM.
- Kost and colleagues ask; Boundaryless careers in the gig economy: An oxymoron?
- In their review article, Duggan et al. consider the role of management-by-algorithm in the gig economy and present an agenda for future research.
- Farivar and Richardson present an fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis of configurations of demographic variables and their implications for work-life balance.
- Finally, Harcourt et al. examine the factors which explain management resistance towards codetermination through their German case study.
You might also be interested in this call for papers for a special issue on "relevant, rigorous and reflective knowledge creation in HRM through scholar-stakeholder collaborative research" (deadline 30 April 2021) edited by Marco Guerci, Tony Huzzard, Giovanni Radaelli, and Abraham B. (Rami) Shani.
