HRM processes and practices
Our Human resource management (HRM) processes and practices research theme explores innovative approaches to tackle human resource challenges and sustainable HRM practices. It delves into reconciling multiple institutional logics within HRM reforms and investigates the promoting factors of resilience through strategic HRM systems.
The theme explores the implications of HRM reforms on job-related wellbeing, green behaviour and the integration of employee assistance programs. It advances the sustainability agenda through strategic HRM and examines the interplay between human resource system strength, proactive behaviour and crisis situations. Additionally, it investigates the wellbeing of nurses and the implications for effective HRM in healthcare.
Our research provides valuable insights and recommendations for both academia and practice, contributing to the ongoing development of effective HRM strategies and practices.
