3rd PhD Day in Management on 30 November 2022 (online & free)

Collecting Data in Research Projects
The challenges of Ph.D. students inspired a group of friends and colleagues at the TechTalent-Lab and the Department of Management of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya·BarcelonaTech to organize a series of „Ph.D. day in Management“ regarding research topics. Thus, these events aim to support Ph.D. students by providing them training, advice, and expertise from top scholars. It is the perfect opportunity to learn from experts and present your research while discussing your doubts. It has been designed to increase Ph.D. candidates‘ effectiveness and meet the challenges of early-career researchers.

This year’s third edition will focus on the interdisciplinary research methods for collecting data, a process that all PhD candidates and researchers have to face in their research projects. Among the five primary methods for collecting data, the seminars will focus on the most common ones in management and related fields: Interviews and Questionnaires (surveys). Besides, the round table will focus on how we can collect and use data from social media networks, such as Twitter and Linkedin, in our research projects. Some of the questions we will discuss with experts in the field are: What differs the face-to-face and online interviews? How to design an interview protocol? How to face a difficult interview? How to design or translate a survey? Which are the most common mistakes when we analyse data from surveys? How can we use data from social media networks? Which is the credibility of the data from these networks? and, What kind of software can we use for collecting data?

The event will be hosted on Zoom. The registration is open and accessible for all Ph.D. students in the research field of Management and related fields. Feel free to share this information!

Deadline for free registration for presenters: 9 November 2022.
In case you are selected to do a presentation:
Assignment of the slot for your presentation: 16 November 2022.

CfP for Special Issue GHRM: Achieving Sustainable Development Goals through a Common-Good HRM: Context, approach and practice

This Special Issue invites empirical and conceptual papers that examine and theorize the relationship between the United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (UN,
2015) and Human Resource Management (HRM). We welcome perspectives from HRM and
cognate fields such as employment relations and organizational psychology in dealing with
issues around people management, work and employment. There is growing interest in
management literature in exploring how HRM can reframe policies and practices in a more
sustainable way and thus contribute to achieving the UN’s SDG (c.f. Ghauri and Cooke, 2022),
as they contend with the consequences of past organizational actions, most notably global
heating. However, there is considerable variation in how organizations operating in different
parts of the world are confronting these challenges and how HRM can contribute to achieving
SDGs, which remains relatively under-investigated. The special issue seeks to bring together
new work in this area.

[…for more please view the complete CfP here…]

This Special Issue of the GHRM aims to spotlight the growing influence of the SDGs on HRM,
leadership and employment relations topics especially with regard to the challenge of how to
implement change for sustainable development in organisations. We welcome papers that will
challenge current mainstream business and HRM models and expect that new research will
cover and go beyond issues of the SDG-HRM relationship relating to congruence and
diversion, paradox and tensions and the strategic implications for HRM role, leadership and
workplace policies and practices (employment relations). For example, by asking demanding
questions not just about the emerging “Sustainable HRM” debate and the three main (CSR,
Green, Triple-Bottom-line) approaches developed, but which also more critically reflect on the
underlying concepts of Sustainability and Common-Good and the resulting broader role of
HRM in facilitating societal change as suggested, for example, in the new “Common-Good
HRM” model. Finally, we hope to enrich our knowledge of the influence of the SDGs as a
benchmark more generally, by discussing the implications for HRM concerning, for example,
HR role and purpose, strategic decision making, stakeholder engagement, talent
management, workplace participation, employee engagement, and workforce health and wellbeing. The journal’s tradition of theoretical pragmatism allows more space for novel theorizing than is typically associated with endeavours of this nature, and accordingly, we would welcome work that introduces, applies and extends new theoretical advances from other areas of the social sciences, and, indeed, across the broad domain of business and management studies.

Contributions could focus on one or more of the following questions – but are not limited to
these:

  • What are the strategic implications of the SDGs for HRM?
  • How do the SDGs enable or hinder the ability of HRM to address grand challenges?
  • To what extent can HRM policies and practices be redesigned to reduce social inequalities?
  • How do the SDGs as a benchmark change the role and purpose of HRM?
  • How do HR managers deal with the paradoxical tensions of sustainable change?
  • How do employees react to sustainability agendas at the workplace?
  • What are the implications for specific HR functions such as employee training, learning and
    knowledge transfer or performance assessment?
  • How can the SDGs be balanced with organizational performance goals?
  • What is the role of HRM leadership in the implementation of sustainability agendas?
  • What role does support from HR managers play in the acceptance of organisational transition and contribution to the SDGs?
  • How can the SDGs contribute to issues of workplace democracy and employee agency?
  • Are the concepts of Sustainability and the Common-Good still too theoretically vague?
  • What impact do investor agendas have on HRM and sustainability?
  • Building and applying new theory to better understand the links between HRM and sustainability.

Special Issue Editors:

  • Ina Aust, Université Catholique de Louvain LSM, Belgium.
  • Fang Lee Cooke, Monash University, Australia.
  • Michael Muller-Camen, WU-Vienna, Austria.
  • Geoffrey Wood, Western University, Canada.

IHRM Webinar Series: Translating IHRM Research for Practical Impact

This event is part of an IHRM Webinar Series, organized by the Centre for Global Workforce Strategy at Simon Fraser University (Canada), the Center for International Human Resource Studies at the Pennsylvania State University (USA), Pennsylvania Western University (USA), ESCP Business School and RIT Croatia (Europe).

About this event

Increasingly, IHRM scholars are being asked to demonstrate the impact of their research beyond academic networks. In some countries (e.g., U.K., Australia), demonstration of research impact is being introduced as a metric for academic research performance. Research impact is also important for business school accreditation; for example, AACSB International has standards for business schools to demonstrate their contributions to societal needs. For many of us, however, engaging with industry partners, maintaining online social media accounts, and publishing in practitioner-oriented journals, are areas outside our ‚comfort zone‘. This webinar will host a panel of experts whose research is highly impactful. The panel members will share their experiences, insights, and best practices for translating IHRM research for practitioners and broader audiences.

Speakers

  • Helen De Cieri (Ph.D.) is a Professor of Management at Monash Business School, Monash University, Australia.
  • Betina Szkudlarek (Ph.D.) is an Associate Professor at the University of Sydney Business School.
  • Dr. Lauren Locklear (Ph.D.) is a Researcher and Assistant Professor of Management at Texas Tech University in the Rawls College of Business.
  • Paula Caligiuri (Ph.D.) is a distinguished Professor of International Business at Northeastern University.
  • Sebastian Reiche (Ph.D.) is Professor of People Management at IESE Business School in Barcelona, Spain.
  • This session will be moderated by Miguel Olivas-Lujan (Ph.D.), Professor of Management and Marketing at Pennsylvania Western University, USA.

Date: 19 October 2022.
Time: 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. CEST (Vienna, Berlin, Paris, Zagreb)
More information & free registration here. This event will be hosted virtually on Zoom. Event access links will be provided 24 hours prior to the event start.

The 16th International Human Resource Management conference will take place in London, June 28-30, 2023

Over the last three decades, IHRM Conferences were held every two years at different locations all around the world such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Ashridge House (United Kingdom), Gold Coast (Australia), San Diego (United States of America), Paderborn (Germany), Limerick (Ireland), Cairns (Australia), Tallinn (Estonia), Santa Fe-New Mexico (United States of America), Birmingham (United Kingdom), Gurgaon (India), Krakow (Poland); Victoria-British Columbia (Canada), and Madrid (Spain). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference in Paris in 2020 had to be canceled. We are pleased to be able to continue the series again now. Theme:

IHRM in Action:
In Search of Organizational Resilience in Multinational Enterprises

The COVID-19 crisis adds to the long list of shock events in the 21st century that have included terrorism, corporate scandals, the global financial crisis, natural (e.g., the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004; the Icelandic volcano eruption in 2010), and environmental disasters (e.g., the BP/Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion off the US’s Gulf Coast) (Minbaeva & De Cieri, 2015). The global pandemic has highlighted some gaps in IHRM research regarding how HRM theory and practices could assist multinationals in handling environmental disasters: “answers to questions we wish we had in the academic literature but, to date, do not” (Caligiuri et al., 2020, p. 705). But most of all, the experience from the pandemic once again stressed the importance of understanding the role of IHRM in building organizational resilience.

Understanding the nature of organizational resilience and identifying its sources are challenging. The difficulty comes from the multifaceted and multilevel nature of resilience. It has been studied in various disciplines including psychology, war studies, team level research, strategic management, but there have not been enough conceptual attempts to integrate the insights generated in those various fields. For multinational enterprises and international organizations, the challenge is amplified by the variety of contexts MNEs are operating across (linguistic, cultural, institutional, etc.)

  • How can MNEs create and strengthen organizational capabilities to “bounce back” from shock events brought by environmental disasters?
  • What competencies should MNEs prioritise in their recruitment and selection practices?
  • Are there different configurations of the talent portfolio that should be emphasized in the context of global uncertainty?
  • Are there different types of human capital that could contribute differently to organizational resilience?
  • In crisis, how can MNEs support their employees and help them to cope with and bounce back from stress and adversity, and hopefully even grow through the experience?
  • How does the context in which a MNE operate shapes its ability to respond to and deal with environmental disasters?
  • Are there any MNE crisis-handling practices that can be transferred to the local context for the betterment of society?
  • Are there, and should there be, changes in the strategic reasons for expatriation and other forms of international work?
  • What are the implications and impact of digitization of work for MNEs? How does technology (including AI and ML) contribute to the building of organizational resilience?
  • Which MNE initiatives are more effective for supporting equality, diversity and inclusion in the context of global uncertainty?
  • Which IHRM practices or interventions will be most effective in creating mentally resilient workplaces?

These and many more questions will need to be examined during the conference’s panels;
roundtables with practitioners; competitive and interactive sessions.

The conference will have a dedicated teaching track showcasing excellence in IHRM teaching practice. The teaching track is designed to help participants who have a passion for teaching improve their teaching practices in an open forum of shared experience. We welcome both papers engaged with teaching research, from IHRM scholars and beyond, as well as practical sessions on teaching practice and innovation. The teaching track is organised to support and meet the teaching-related needs of IHRM members and seeks to benefit from interdisciplinary knowledge sharing and debate. In conjunction with the conference, there will be a PhD consortium as well as Publishing Workshop for junior scholars.
