Research excellence in international human resource management (IHRM) is unique because of its intersection among multiple fields of management, such as Human Resource Management (HRM) and International Management (IM). Scholars working in IHRM have the ability to make a contribution not only to IHRM, but also to broader areas of management – giving colleagues in traditional human resources a broader contextual understanding of their work. The award winner will be announced at the Academy meeting during the HR Division Awards Ceremony and receive a plaque and a $500 honorarium.

In support of the HR Division's goal of increasing member involvement and its international reach, we strongly encourage nominations that reflect the rich diversity, backgrounds, and perspectives of our membership.

  3. Eligible articles can be theoretical, qualitative, or quantitative.
  4. Eligible articles may come from any scholarly HR, IM, or management outlet in the year prior to the award. If deemed exceptional by the nominator, they also may have been published as chapters in books. Practitioner articles are not eligible.
