Electronic Human Resource Management: Transformation of HRM?

Zeitschrift für Personalforschung – German Journal of Human Resource Research

The German Journal of Human Resource Research is pleased to announce a Special Issue on “Electronic Human Resource Management: Transformation of HRM?” We encourage submissions of papers regarding the basic changes and consequences for HRM triggered by its ongoing “electronization”. In particular, we welcome papers which

  • provide a better theoretical/conceptual understanding of whether, and if, why and how, the ongoing “electronization” changes HRM;
  • empirically elucidate the actual changes of HRM due to its “electronization”;
  • discuss the basic implications of the “electronization” for HRM.

Papers should deal with these issues in a basic and essential way, therewith noticeably contributing to international HRM research. Papers which focus on a specific subsection of e-HRM such as e-recruiting, e-assessment, e-learning, e-compensation, etc. are welcome as well.

In order to be considered for publication in the Special Issue, a proposal should be submitted by July 31st, 2011. The editors will review the proposals and contact authors with an invitation to submit full manuscripts. The deadline for the full papers is October 31st, 2011.
