Recensioner i media

‘This volume provides a comprehensive, contemporary and readable mapping of HRM’s emergence as a field of study, its theoretical foundations, and future directions for scholars and practice. Taking a unique approach to HRM, the editors skilfully present two integrative early chapters capturing the role of theory followed by a thoughtful selection of 41 entries written by well-known authors laying out each theory and its application to HRM. Key target audiences include Master’s students, PhD candidates and early career researchers; but seasoned scholars will also benefit from the detailed but short reviews in each chapter and the range of perspectives in the collection. To provide just a taster, these include perspectives embedded in principles of organisation behaviour/theory, Critical Theory, labour process theory, sensemaking, stakeholder theory, institutional theory, paradox theory, post-colonial theory, and intersectionality. The impressive range of theories included reminds us that HRM’s conceptual foundations are broad, and draw on diverse disciplinary perspectives. As a reference volume, this collection will undoubtedly not only help those wishing to learn about alternative theories, but also help researchers move beyond traditional boundaries to explore new directions in HRM research.’
