Dear colleagues,
We invite you to join us at our Academy PDW on integrating Human Resource Management and Social Networks research. This session will feature panels of experts who can generate an engaging, critical, and thoughtful discussion about the advantages and challenges of adopting a relational view of HR. The panels will be followed by breakout roundtables where attendees have the opportunity to share research ideas, raise theoretical and methodological questions, and ignite dialogue surrounding these topics.
The field of HR can benefit from the integration of theory and methodology associated with social networks, and vice versa, and we hope to build a community of scholars who share this vision.
We hope you can join us!

Managing constellations of employee relationships is a core competency in organizations. Curiously, however, whereas social network analysis-a science to understand structure, interactions, and strategic positions in social networks-has gained a foothold in the domains of organizational behavior, organizational theory, and business policy and strategy, its adoption has been markedly slower in human resource management (HRM). This is despite recognition that many of the phenomena related to human capital and human resource activities, such as recruiting and onboarding, communication and knowledge management, and retention and turnover, are reliant on relational networks among employees. The proposed PDW is intended to advance research integrating HRM and social networks by connecting scholars through dialogue, generating an engaging and thoughtful discussion about advantages and challenges of adopting a relational view of HRM, and stimulating ideas for future research. The proposed PDW includes: 1) a set of scholarly panels with established and emerging scholars whose research informs the integration of HRM and networks and 2) roundtable discussions with scholars and attendees to concentrate on specific questions and receive feedback on research ideas. | Search Terms: | Human Resource Management, Social Networks, Social Capital | |
