Editorial Policy: The Human Resource Management Review (HRMR) is a quarterly theory journal

devoted to the publication of scholarly conceptual/theoretical1 articles pertaining to human resource

management and allied fields (e.g. organizational behavior, industrial/organizational psychology,
labor relations). Quantitative meta-analytical reviews that make a conceptual/theoretical contribution
are also appropriate. HRMR publishes papers that focus on issues of function and process, which
provide new ideas that will stimulate and lead to empirical research, as well as critical examinations
of existing concepts, models, and frameworks. As such, HRMR does not publish reports of empirical
investigations or articles written primarily for practicing managers.
Subject areas considered appropriate include, but are not limited to, talent management, staffing,
compensation, performance assessment and management, attraction and retention, training and
development, human resource applications of computer technology, human resource planning,
high-performance work systems, human capital resources, and strategic human resources
management. Conceptual papers that address these subject areas at the individual, group,
organizational, societal, and/or cross-cultural levels of analysis are welcome.

HRMR does not normally consider empirical papers that test hypotheses or use data analyses to
examine, inductively, ideas. Moreover, in its quest to foster the development of general theories and
models, HRMR does not normally consider individual papers that deal with a single occupation or
industry or cases of these entities. Submission of such papers will be rejected as outside the scope of
the journal.
