CfP: 5th Global Conference on International Human Resource Management (19-21 May 2022)

Looking back over a decade of IHRM: Who knew the world could change so much?

The upcoming Fifth Global Conference on International Human Resource Management will celebrate a decade of developments in IHRM. As such, we would like to invite you to join us in New York City for presentations, discussions, and networking opportunities between scholars and practitioners. The IHRM field is broad and expanding, incorporating many disciplines including cross-cultural management, comparative HRM, strategic international HRM, and global leadership. Practice and research are focused on understanding why certain HRM activities fit a given national context or exploring how a multinational enterprise balances
the global/local paradox in managing its workforce.

We seek academic paper submissions that not only reflect on IHRM developments over recent times but also those that will broaden our understanding and pave the path for future IHRM research and practice. To this end, we invite submissions that cover conceptual, theoretical, and empirical investigations that adopt a broad range of methodologies and highlight the context-specific nature of HRM systems. Papers that address but are not necessarily restricted to the following topics are especially invited:

  • HRM models from emerging markets
  • Institutional and cultural perspectives on IHRM
  • HRM in multinational enterprises
  • Expatriate management and global careers
  • IHRM and informal social ties and networks
  • Global talent and knowledge management
  • Diversity, aging population, and generational challenges in different national settings
  • Ethics and corporate social responsibility in the globalization of work
  • High performance work systems in different national settings
  • Global leadership
