Link: Special Issue Call Information

The objective of this special issue is to offer new insights regarding the application, utility, and outcomes of specific methods for providing impactful insights to Human Resource Management scholars and practitioners.  

We invite methodological papers and research notes focussing on the use and/or application of qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method choices within HRM research. Papers might also consider methodological issues associated with research in HRM, such as undertaking and measuring impactful research, engaged and co-designed research, access and ethics, researcher reflexivity, de-colonisation, and alternate methods of dissemination of findings for example story writing. 

All submissions must offer novel and clear insights for HRM scholars and practitioners. A case in point would be the use of a particular method, how it can be translated into real practical benefits, and for whom. Submissions are expected to offer an explicit articulation of robust methods in HRM research which support theorising and also provide practical insights. Furthermore, our special issue will contribute practically to the effective selection and application of new forms of data collection, use, and analysis for HRM research. We anticipate that articles from this special issue will become highly cited in years to come. 

Full papers or research notes should be submitted at https://wiley.atyponrex.com/journal/HRMJ. Please select the 'Special Issue Article' as the article type on submission. On the Additional Information page during submission, select 'Yes, this is for a Special Issue' and select "Research methodologies that offer insights" from the dropdown list. HRMJ will not be able to consider late submissions.
