Editorial Perspective: Interdisciplinary Research in HRM for Impact—Rethinking, Redefining and Reshaping Practices

ABSTRACT The aim of this editorial perspective is to highlight the importance and relevance of interdisciplinary research (IDR) in HRM, offer insights into the core aspects of IDR (i.e., what, why, when, and how), and offer guidance and tools necessary to conduct IDR in HRM. It incorporates the input of leading scholars on the key components of IDR, such as paradigms, theory, methodological plurality, contributions and impact and an integrative framework to facilitate IDR in HRM. This perspective seeks to move the field of HRM forward by offering theoretical and methodological alternatives that are needed to effectively engage in IDR, and practical tools and techniques for conducting IDR research in HRM.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The aim of this editorial perspective is to highlight the importance and relevance of interdisciplinary research (IDR) in HRM, offer insights into the core aspects of IDR (i.e., what, why, when, and how), and offer guidance and tools necessary to conduct IDR in HRM. It incorporates the input of leading scholars on the key components of IDR, such as paradigms, theory, methodological plurality, contributions and impact and an integrative framework to facilitate IDR in HRM. This perspective seeks to move the field of HRM forward by offering theoretical and methodological alternatives that are needed to effectively engage in IDR, and practical tools and techniques for conducting IDR research in HRM.
