OVERVIEW

Abstract

I am pleased to present Volume 23 of Research in Personnel and Human Resources Management that contains seven interesting papers. These papers are interesting because each one establishes a strong case for bringing somewhat understudied topics into the research mainstream of the human resources management field, brings to our attention the need to critically examine conventional, conceptual and methodological approaches used in HRM research, or builds creative paths in our thinking about commonly studied topics. Some of you may find one or more papers to be controversial in nature, and this is by design. I encourage authors to challenge convention in order to stimulate healthy debates and discussions between HRM researchers.
