Outline of the book: The aim of the book is to provide an introduction into to the core theories that inform human resource management (HRM) research, in order to facilitate the understanding of contemporary research evidence for effective human resource management activities Part 1 – Evidence Based HRM describes the problem of bounded rationality of management decisions, and provides a decision making flowchart for dealing with bounded rationality using different types of evidence from research and practice before designing an HRM policy, practice or intervention. Part 2 – The business case for HRM includes chapters on HRM and performance (e.g. the RBV, human capital, social capital and social exchange theory, employee performance); on Knowledge management (individual and organizational knowledge and learning, and knowledge storage and retrieval); and on Performance under conditions of change (e.g. planned change and dynamic capabilities theory, and consequences of change for careers). Part 3 – HRM in context explores labor market and psychological theories related to staffing in the chapter War for talent (e.g. transaction costs and the ILM, psychological contracts); how employees exert influence over HRM in the chapter The power of workers (industrial relations and employee involvement theories).The chapter Diversity and inclusion describes the moral, legal and psychological perspectives on diversity management. Part 4 – The employee perspective introduces the topic Decent work, the contribution of HRM to worker’s potential to live a physically, mentally and socially healthy life, building on stress theories and ethical HRM. The structure of each chapter is the same: First an overview of the key theories, then an overview of the research evidence for these theories, and finally a selection of effective HR practices that align with the theories and their research evidence. Each part concludes with a case study and study questions that refer back to the theories of the chapters. This helps in understanding the practical relevance of HRM theory.
