HRM Special Issues - Calls for Papers

  • 1.  HRM Special Issues - Calls for Papers

    Posted 06-20-2025 08:46

    Dear Colleagues, 

    Human Resource Management (HRM) regularly publishes Special Issues on timely and innovative topics. Each year, HRM issues a call for Special Issue (SI) proposals and this year we received many excellent submissions. Among these, three were selected. Current special issues include a special conceptual and review issue, an issue on work-based violence, and an issue on the role of human resource management in virtual work. If your research is relevant to any of these topics, please consider submitting a special issue. If you have an idea for a future special issue, do look for next year's call for proposals.

    Best,

    Shaun
